Should I wash my face more than twice a day?

I never really had a major problem with acne throughout my teen years. I am now 21. I used to have very oily skin here and there but my breakouts were under control when I used papaya natural bar soap until I got so curious with the Tea Tree line from The BodyShop and st. ives apricot scrub. I find both of them were just way too harsh for my skin. Then I switch to Aiken Tea Tree Oil with hope I could get rid of my already was acne, ok that was 3 months ago. Then I switch back to the papaya bar soap, but this too didnt seem to work for my skin anymore. I then tried using a sea cucumber extract anti acne facial wash together with the moisturizer. It was ok until the second week I breakout tremendously that I had to switch back to the papaya bar soap. But this time, not only it made my acne worsen, I also get this tight sort of feeling around my cheeks and mouth, it hurts so much when I wash my face especially on the cheeks, and I experience redness all over my face, my pimples look irritated and my skin was overdry. I tried putting Bio Oil since it is used to rehydrate dry skin, I applied it as often as I could but nothing worked. Absolutely nothing. I was depressed with my dry skin. I breakout almost everywhere. My forehead (which I never had pimples on my forehead), My cheeks, jaw line, chin and above my upper lips. There are many of them. I tried using benzoyl peroxide from 5% to 10%, it irritated my pimples. My skin gets really dry and sensitive due to applying too much harsh products on my skin. But then after hours of research through the internet, I found Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser which can be used on baby's skin and wont sting eyes. That pretty much explains how mild and gentle this cleanser is! I've been using this for 2 days, together with neutrogena alcohol free and a cetaphil moisturizer for dry and sensitive skin and not to forget, a clean and clear acne spot treatment. Work wonders! My pimples are shrinking dramatically over night. I only applied once on my red angry pimple. So far, this is the first time in these 4 months period that I have NO NEW PIMPLES growing in a day. like seriously. I can see my existing acne is clearing out. My skin is back to normal and no more dry flaky skin after only 2 times applying little amount of cetaphil moisturizer. I'm happy with my skin condition right now, oh I've been drinking lots and lots of water lately, that helps too I guess. Really sorry for this long message, but I just want to share to everybody how amazing this products are. It takes lots of trial and error until you found the right products for your skin. I would suggest to be more gentle to your skin rather than using harsh chemicals to actually treat your acne. So my question is, I must wash my face 4 times a day, in the morning 6am, after having my lunch around 1pm, after I got back from Uni around 6pm and before bed 12pm. I was told to only wash face twice per day. Is this bad for my skin? I really dont want to ruin my skin. Having a dry flaky skin really is a nightmare for me..
