Have you ever wondered if you've been washing your face too often?

So, how often should you wash your face? It is recommended that the face be cleansed twice daily. More frequently than this can be very drying, and less frequently can allow oils and environmental pollutants to wreak havoc snd cause unwanted blemishes. I typically recommend that my patients use a gentle facial cleanser twice daily unless they have more oily prone skin. In this case, I recommend the SkinMedica Glypro cleanser.
