Myth vs. Fact: Frequent Face Washing Harms Skin, Causes Pimples

• Frequent face washing, often believed to prevent pimples, can actually harm the skin by stripping its natural protective oils.
• Over-washing disrupts the skin's natural pH balance, leading to dryness, sensitivity, and potentially increased oil production, which can worsen acne.
• Dermatologists recommend washing the face only twice a day (morning and night) to maintain skin health and its natural moisture barrier.
• Use a suitable cleanser for your skin type, lukewarm water, and gently massage; always follow up with a moisturizer.
