How often should clients with acne wash their face each day?

Washing the face twice a day is recommended for clients with acne as it helps to effectively remove dirt, oil, and impurities that accumulate on the skin throughout the day. This routine not only reduces the risk of clogged pores, which can lead to breakouts but also helps to maintain skin balance. Over-washing or under-washing can lead to imbalances; excessive washing might strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to irritation or increased oil production as the skin tries to compensate. On the other hand, washing less frequently may not adequately cleanse the skin, allowing acne-causing bacteria and excess oils to build up. Therefore, the twice-daily cleansing regimen is a balanced approach to managing acne-prone skin.
