5. Overdoing It

“Acne comes from a dirty face,” is yet another myth that causes treatment issues. You only need to wash your face once, maybe twice per day. Overwashing your face is an acne remedy that dries your skin cells, triggering even more oil production. More oil leads to clogged pores, worsening your acne over time.

Washing with extremely hot water can produce similar effects. For best results, limit your face washes to no more than twice per day only using lukewarm water.
