At the core of any medical treatment for acne is proper face washing. Without proper face washing, you can cause irritation of the skin, which can lead to further breakouts. Below are 5 tips on proper face washing with the appropriate acne cleanser.

1. For any over-the-counter acne cleanse, you want to make sure you choose one that is described as "mild" or "oil-free." This is because these types of acne cleansers will gently clean your face. You do not want a cleanser that will over-dry or aggravate your acne.

2. It is highly recommended that you wash your face with an acne cleanser only twice per day max - once in the morning and once in the evening. Too much washing can cause irritation of the skin, thus leading to more breakouts.

3. Choose the appropriate acne cleanser for your skin type. There are various cleansers on the market that can treat oily skin, dry skin, or normal skin. Selecting the appropriate acne cleanser for your skin type will reduce irritation and make the cleaning more effective.

4. Make sure your chosen acne cleanse does not contain too much medication. Some cleansers will contain medication in addition to the cleanser. By using this cleanser you are also adding a layer of medication. When you apply your prescribed medication, if any, you will be adding a second layer of medication to the cleanser, which may make it less effective.

5. When you dry your face after using the acne cleanse, make sure you pat dry instead of rubbing. Rubbing can cause further irritation, which can cause further breakouts.
