Hi.
I have acne and whenever I wash my face, it feels tight and starts to get dry and sometimes flakey. What's this mean? Also if it helps I just started using this face wash.

qotsa369 answered Friday July 8 2005, 2:13 pm: It means that the face wash is too strong, or your using it too often. If your using it more than once a day then go down to just once. But if your only using it once a day and its still doing it then, get something else. [ qotsa369's advice column | Ask qotsa369 A Question ]

HeathaAa answered Friday July 8 2005, 2:06 pm: that's actually a good thing -sounds weird, but what it's doing is drying it up which will make it go away. you can buy a moisturizer (oil-free) for when you want to wear makeup! [ HeathaAa's advice column | Ask HeathaAa A Question ]
