Dear Mish,
I have skin which is acne prone. I have been told to keep it clean and wash more regularly. Is this right?
Signed Pimples.
Dear Pimples,
If I were you I would not wash or cleanse my face any more than twice a day, unless told specifically by a dermatologist (skin specialist). Always try to use perfume free skin products (these can really irritate the skin), and use mild, hypo-allergenic soap based cleansers. Choose a cleanser which will completely rinse off the skin so nothing is left behind to dry, irritate or affect your skin's balance.
Hope this helps,
Mish x
