Even if you have oily skin you should not be washing 3 times a day. Over washing oily skin makes the skin produce more oil. If your skin is drying you are overdoing it and really drying out your skin. What kind of skintype are you? Oily, oily/combo, dry? (Meaning outside of super sensitive.)

I agree, I would definately cut down on the washing. Also, I would say that you should wash with something that will take the flakes off of your skin. I wash with a pure white wash cloth and St. Ives Clear Pore Cleanser (it's really gentle). Then I follow up with and OIL-FREE moisturizer esp. at night because that's when my skin restores itself. Also, try drinking at least 64oz of water a day. Your skin will hydrate itself and you'll notice a difference. Good luck!

cut dwn on the washing thats just takin away ur natural oils which is making u dry out more, also wen washing ur face use a product for sensitive skin because water alone doesnt remove dirt which causes spots. have u tried an intensive moisturiser u should change the brand of moisturiser that ur using if its only breaking u out, i use nivea intensive moisturiser and my skin is so soft.. without it i flake and dry up but once iv used it thers no problems in sight.

I agree with the others, there's no need to wash your face more than twice a day. Definitely make sure you are using a non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) moisturizer. My dermatologist recommended Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, which you should be able to find at any drugstore. To both cleanse and exfoliate your skin, my dermatologist recommending using Cetaphil bar soap (or he said you could use Dove soap if your skin's a little dry) with a Buf Puf sponge to wash my face. I do this in the evening, and in the morning I use a gentle cleanser or just wash my face in the shower. There's many different cleansers in the drugstores to choose from that will be less harsh on your skin than soap, Cetaphil makes some for normal/oily and dry skin I believe, and I've tried some anti-acne cleansers from Biore, and there's a lot of other brands you could try!

Hope that helps!

The others are perfectly right... Try washing your face with a very gentle cleanser like Cetaphil, it is a ver ygood product... Also definitely use a moisturizer, I would recommend Cetaphil's SPF 15 moisturizer for the daytime and possibly Cetaphil's moisturizing cream at night...

Agree with everyone responses.

Hope you find the answer you need, there's no point for me post my answer thought. Because I'm just going to repeat others comments lol.
