Is it bad to wash your face a lot? Like with a cleanser? I use the cetaphil cleanser. One day I washed my face like twice I believe and then I thought to myself, I wonder if it's bad to wash your face a lot? Thanks guys :)

I think you should wash your face twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. Cetaphil is what I use, and its rather gentle so it's not stripping.

I say in the morning and at night or after a workout because washing too much dries out the skin and the body sends a lot of oils to the face at once which can result in breakouts

No, Cetaphil is pretty gentle. If your skin starts to feel dry or irritated, put some moisturizer on and maybe limit to once a day. But if your face feels fine, there's nothing wrong with it.

Nope! I wash mine morning and night! Maybe three or four times would be too much buuuut twice is actually recommended for skin care because the morning prepares your skin for the day and at night it gets all the gunk off your face and let's your skin breath.

I wash my face twice a day, without fail.

My sister was saying it's bad to moisturize at night because it "clogged your pores worse" but I don't think that's true?

I moisturize at night. A noncomedogenic (um I think that's how you spell it) moisturizer won't clog your pores.

Washing your face twice a day is perfectly fine, I do it.
The point is to introduce water to your face!

@Nicole no that is not true - I can only imagine this being true if you are using a moisturizer that contains ingredients which are very comedogenic! In which case day or night wouldn't matter because it is comedogenic.

Morning and night

Morning and night, unless you exercise or are physically very active and have sweat profusely. Washing then is obviously a good idea. I immediately moisturize after I wash using lotion or cream in the day and a serum or oil at night.

I say in the morning and ya night. That's just what I do. But if your face starts getting to dry or stripped just do it once. I guess it depends on your skin.
