Acne Skin Care - how can i be free of acne AND not have dry skin at the same time?

how can i be free of acne AND not have dry skin at the same time?

I noticed some acne on my face, so I washed my face 5 times a day for 2 days. The acne got smaller, but my skin became extremely dry to the point that it was red and rough. So I applied lotion. Now I'm worried that I'll get a breakout again. How can I be free of acne and not have dry skin at the same time?

You should not wash your face more than twice a day. It drys the skin as well as irritates it. This will cause more acne in the long run, as well as a painful face. I use Cetaphil Antibacterial cleanser. It works great for treating acne and is the most gentle cleanser available. You can find out more about it on their website.

wash your face and put moisturising cream
If you're willing to spend, try seeing dermatologist. My friends with acne do that and it seems really effective. If not do the usual 3 steps (cleanse, tone, moisturize) with facial products targeted at acne problems. But 5 times a day does seem rather excessive, so maybe once in the morning and once before you sleep :)
Don't wash your face more then twice daily because it irritates the oil glands and your face will get more pimples. Use a soft cleanser or scrub in the morning and at night and apply pimple cream to the affected areas - not whole face though! I use a Garnier scrub, and then I put Vitamin C cream and benzoyl peroxide cream, and it really does work :) Just don't overdo your face or it will hate you haha :)
Simple Tricks to Get Rid Of A Pimple Apple cider vinegar on pimples is the answer - To get rid of your pimple use a mixture of equal parts organic apple cider vinegar and distilled water or water that you have boiled on the stove and allowed to completely cool. Put the half and half solution on the pimple with a clean cotton pad two or three time a day. In a few days the pimple will be almost not even there. After the pimple has cleared, use a milder solution of one table spoon of organic apple cider vinegar mixed with one cup of pure water. Keep the solution in the refrigerator in a clean sterilized container and try not to put the cotton pad directly on the container and always use a clean cotton pad. Apply the solution with a cotton pad after your cleanse your skin. Do not use the clear white vinegar on your skin because it it not made with the care that the organic vinegar is made with. And, when you see the slime in the bottom of the organic vinegar is really a natural sediment -- that is the true sign of raw, unfiltered vinegar. Drink several cups of Stinging Nettle tea during your breakout time to help clear your skin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

you should just wash your face twice daily... but whenever i couldnt bear the itching of acne on my face, i wash it during noon... too much washing leads to skin dehydration which will eventually lead to more breakouts... after washing your face, apply toner, then moisturize. make sure you have a good skin care product with you... remember, any brand of skin care product teaches this basic routine: CLEANSE, TONE, MOISTURIZE.... avoid applying too much product on your skin. just choose one brand or the products which you could use where the ingredients also blend well... like me, i use st.yves facial scrub 3x a week, i use iWhite (korean product) toner and moisturizer/emulsion, and Biotherm facial moisturizer... the products blend well that i dont get breakouts anymore... i also apply a (skin) peeling solution 3x a week... dont also forget the sunblock whenever you go out or get exposed to sunlight... or work in front of hte computer... i hope these tips will help you get the clear skin you deserve... ajah....
