How often should faces be washed?

I have sensitive skin, and sometimes it seems dried out and oily at the same time. What should I do? How often should I wash my face?

Moisturizers that do not cause acne may be helpful. Over washing is not necessary. It is not necessary to use harsh cleaners. Barrier repair washes and creams are good to use.

Two times a day on average, morning and before bedtime. Moisturizing face wash, no irritating. Please visit your dermatologist to get more recommendations and for your yearly skin exams.
