Am I cleaning my skin to often?
Here is what I do daily:
1. Wet my face with warm water to open my pores.
2. Apply IMAGE Blackhead Scrub (I don't have blackheads, the scrub is just very abrasive) twice a day
3. Rinse off the scrub
4. Apply Clean and Clear foaming facial cleanser, twice a day
5. Rinse off facial cleanser
6. Apply Clean and Clear advantage acne spot treatment, 2-3 times a day.
I do this daily, my skin is not flaky, dry, or irritated. The products work fine, but I'm worried this might cause problems in the future. I also moisturize my face after washing it. Can this cause problems such as acne or irritation in the long run?
Thanks for answering in advance(:
The scrub is not harsh at all, it just tones my skin and peels the dead or dry skin off. Its more like a lotion-like substance with blue scrubing beads in it than a gel type which is what alot of scrubs are.

I dont think it will cause any problem, i think you should lessen using the scrub though, cuz scrubs sometimes take off more skin so they could sometimes be harmful. I think what you are doing is fine, just make sure you put lotion after washing off you face! :) Yu’ll have beautiful skin doing all that lol

IDK but I used Proactive for a really long time and my skin got really dry. But the good news is I havent had a single pimple in like half a year and Im thirteen!

as long as you are replacing the moister you are taking out of the skin there shouldnt be a issue your skin is probably healthier than people that dont.
