washing your face. why is it bad to wash your face more than 2-3 times a day? when people say that do they mean not to wash your face with cleanser more than 2-3 times a day?
and is it okay to splash water on your face a lot throughout the day to get all the oils off?

Washing your face more than 2-3 times a day will rid your skin of it's natural oils it needs to stay healthy. And when you do wash your face, you use the same cleanser as many times as you wash your face in a day. If you were to use regular soap on your face, that could actually make your face even more prone to oil. It is okay to splash your face with water, but that wont get rid of all the oil bacteria built up in the skin. I use Neutrogena's oil-absorbing sheets to get the excess oil off my face. Its only like maybe 5 bucks at the most to pick some up from the drugstore or wherever you shop. If your face does start to get dried out, what I would do is, use a tiny bit of face mosturizer like, Olays and use that to help you out by getting your skin back on track. Hope I helped.

Actually- it is kind of bad to do it 2 or 3 times a day, because your face produces oils that it NEEDS. True- some are bad- and that is what the ONE face wash a day is used for. Its probably best to do it at night- but morning or night will work.
Splashing water is alright- but it won't get the oils off- it will just get your face wet. Its like if you swam all day in fresh water- nothing really happens after you get out- except that your fingers might be pruney.. but not your face.
Does that help?

It's bad because it can dry your skin out. It's ok to splash water on your face, but don't get all the oil off. Your face will dry out. You need some oil to act as a moisturizer for your face.
