Washing my face 3 times a day?

i want to start washing my face three times a day. i wash it when i wake up and when i go to bed. but when i get home from school, its oily and gross. i use spectro jel for oily skin, and have been for about two years. it hasnt dried my face out one bit yet, so do you think that if i add the extra cleansing to it, it will dry it out?

EW I have the same problem. I have really oily skin and I hate it. It's disgusting. I use 100% aloe vera gel.....and it works great. it's natural and it controls my oil. Stop using that fake crap....it's not working for you and it'll make your oil worse. If you wash your face like 3 times a day, the oil will become lesser on your face BUT your body sends a signal to your brain saying "Skin is dry, send oil" and boom there you go, you have more oil. So, use aloe vera gel. It's awesome.
Reply:it shouldnt hurt just make sure you use small amounts
Reply:It's not the washing that would dry it out, it's what you use to wash with that may.





If you use a moisturizing soap or a facial wash you can wash your face as often as you like. Just put on some non oily face cream to re-moisturize your skin if it gets too dry.

Reply:you shouldn't wash your face more than twice a day.


your face will produce even more oil if you do that.


try using a cleanser that is supposed to


keep your face oil free for a long period of time.


you can also check out other products such as lotions


and wipes that reduce oil.
Reply:maybe you can do that but u have to be careful. if u over wash your face it will dry it out and cause oil to rush towards your pores resulting in pimples. i guess u can do that if u use a no comogentic (wont clog pores but moistureizes) i use eucerin. maybe you can ask ur dermotiologitst for more oily skin relief. insted of washing ur face. hope i helped.
Reply:Don't! The fact that your face is that oily means your skin is trying to tell it's reacting to the product your using.


Switch to using powdered milk mixed with water to form a paste. Gently massage. Rinse with BARELY warm water. The temperature is key!


Keep the facial washing down to at the most, two times a day. Anymore and something's wrong.

Reply:it will probably dry it out too much. its natural to have some oil so just relax. stop judging yourself so harshly or just wipe it off with a towel when u get home if its too gross for u.
Reply:ive heard that if you wash your face too much it tricks your body into thinking its too dry so it gets even more oilier...im not sure if this is true tho. u could always try those little oil absorbing packets to blot the oil during the day i think clean and clear makes them.
