Washing face.

Greta Said,
If your skin is both dry and oily how often should you wash your face? I don't wear make up so that doesn't matter. I hate it when my face gets oily but then I seem to dry out around my cheeks when I wash it too often. Any ideas?
Bobbi Said,
I think maybe the problem is the soap you are using. You should be able to wash your face several times a day without it drying out your skin any more than it already is. Be sure to use a gently soap and to blot your face completely dry. You could try an oil free moisturizer as well, that may help a lot.
