lol...I wouldn't have an answer to this.. just because I dont count. but yes I wash my face often.. Also since I spend most of the time on the computer and then go down for frequent walk I wash my face several times in a day..
I believe it keeps your skin clean.. Although I dont use any face wash unless there is already one available at my house..
What abt you? Do you have an answer to this one?

i wash my face about 3 times a day :) but i can be more if i am feeling sleepy and need something to wake me up (aside from coffee that is) i like to wash my face with facial wash especially the cold neutrogena formula that leaves your face feeling tingly and minty :) But if i am using a strong facial wash, i limit washing my face with it because it can leave my skin feeling dry.

That depends on the weather and what I am doing. If I am out in the sun and the wind is blowing dust up, then I will wash when I come in, or if I am doing heavy work and get sweaty, then I wash after, but normally just once a day, unless I get into something messy. Of course, I always wash my mouth after brushing my teeth.

I wash my face twice a day and I don't use any soap. I do use a moisturizing cream. I think that washing the face often can cause dry skin.

Oh my grandmother always telling us that don't wash regularly your face especially from long hours of reading. Also long hours in front of the computers. Eyes hurts or irritated when water gets into it. Our family has a history of Glaucoma, its a painful disease at the nerves of the eyes. I always felt some pain in my eyes when I wash my face. So I first rest first after a stressful work before wash my face.....
Thanks a lot ^_^

I personally have always washed my face twice a day. In the morning shower with a buff puff and face soap. Then at night with a cleanser, toner and lotion. You could get away with a rinse in the morning, but all the dirt and oils that collect on your face during the day needs to come off at night.

I see to it that my face gets all the requisite care; thus, I wash my face at least 4 times — once in the morning with face wash, in the afternoon with only water, again in the evening with face wash and lastly in the night before sleeping.
This doesn't harm my face in any way instead keeps me fresh all day!!
I tend to sweat a bit more than average that's why, this much care is essential I reckon...otherwise, leaving the sweat as it is would in turn cause problems...such as acne, pimples...which by God's grace, I haven't ever suffered from!!!

Whenever I go to washroom or am in front of wash-basin, I unhesitantly wash my face, preferably with face wash or good quality soap and if soap etc. is not available, I just wash my face with plain water. It always feels refreshing to wash face with water, I feel it re-charges me and give me a good feeling.

Usually, I do wash my face a couple of times in an entire day - once when I take a shower before going to the office and once before I retire to sleep. But I must admit that there are some instances when I feel lazy to wash my face in the night time. When this happens, I just resort to using a facial cleanser poured to a piece of cotton. Further, it is believed that a stressed face which could be a result of a tiring day infront of the computer should not be washed because this might result to facial cramps or spasms on the facial nerves.
But sometimes, there are days when the weather is so hot that frequent washing of the entire body (not only the face) couldn't be avoided. Locally, summertime happens from March until May. A lot of people resort to going to beaches and pools not only to have a vacation, but also to keep cool.
Anyway, I am used to having soap and water to cleanse my face but on a few occasions, I use facial cleanser or facial foam to wash the dirt off my face. Happy holidays, friend!

I wash my face only once a day while I'm in the shower. I don't always use a face wash though, but when I do it's Clean&Clear brand. I have clear skin with the occasional pimple once or twice a month. Sometimes I use the clean&clear face wipes before I sleep to wash off make up whenever I use it, but it's not that often.

I usually wash my face twice a day. Once when I wake up the a moisturizing cleanser and then once again before bed with a facial scrub. Sometimes throughout the day I will pat my face with a damp paper towel to cool myself down if it is hot. For the most part though I only wash it twice a day otherwise it makes my skin start to feel dry and flaky and if I am wearing make-up it kind of ruins it.

:) twice: in the morning and in the evening.
In the morning to wash all the dirt my skin collects during night, and in the evening to wash away those dirts that i collect during the day. :)
If You wash your face several times a day, it might fade out. its not good to wash your face too often, unless you are using very strong cosmetics, creams, or something...

I wash my face twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. I use this soap call black soap and it really helps your skin.

I wash my face three or four times a day sometimes more often. Especially during summer. But I do use a lot of face cream and at least once every hour. its just a simle moisturiser. From what i understand is that a persn shouldn't wash their face several times a day is it takes away the nutriton away from the face.
