Why does acne have to be a thing? -.- Okay, so I have been having a lot of issues lately with my face breaking out, and I'm using a cleanser with salicylic acid and my foundation has it as well. They are both Neutrogena.

So I hear different things when It comes to cleansing your face daily. Do you supposed to wash your face with a washcloth? Or do you wash with your hands?? I've heard using a washcloth can irritate the skin, but it seems to get the dirt off better...

I'm just so confused, and I want to improve my skin. Can someone please explain?

I use my hands it's a lot gentler and doesn't dry out skin as much.

Use your hands :) it's gentle and yes a washcloth will really irritate and dry out your skin. make sure you wash your hands before washing your face. you don't wanna wash your face with dirty hands!

Use your hands and wash your face twice daily. After you have washed your face apply a toner with salicylic acid and a moisturizer with salicylic acid. I suggest using Clean&Clear.

I actually have really really soft and plushy wash cloths I use when I don't use my hands.
