What is the best way to wash your face?

How should I be washing my face? I have acne and I have not been able to get rid of it. 19 year old guy. My dermatologist gave me some meds and has me using 10% benozyl peroxide face wash twice a day. Problem is, when I use it twice, my face will get really dry after a few days. If I use a moisturizer then my face will get too oily after an hour or two. So recently I have been just using the face wash at night and just rinsing with water in the morning and I haven't really seen any different results. What do you suggest?

    Your skin is rebelling with the acne medicine you're using. Believe it or not, when you switched to a moisturizer it was a better choice. This is going to sound crazy but just do it, you can thank me later. Coconut oil or a grape seed oil actually will help. But first there are a few thing you must do. Eat correctly, fruits, vegetables etc, drink water most of the time and get proper sleep and exercise. Once you do that, then: Though it goes against everything you've heard, you can get rid of your acne naturally without chemicals. Do the Oil Cleansing Method at night, Start off with a dime size amount of oil first then adjust as need, doing this method at night will allow your skin heal overnight and then rinse your face with clear water only in the morning. Check out my website blogs at bareindulgence.NET, fully explain this method and how to do it It here. Have patience and let your skin heal, do this method for about a month then let me know your results.

    Benozyl peroxide has been used to stop bacteria infection. But your acne possibly come from the oil blockage of pore if you have oily skin. Chlorella Gel Cleanser can absorb oil or dirt out of pores. New red bumps can be removed in two days. Maybe it can work for you too.
