Answer 1

Using products that are too harsh and being too rough with your skin will, of course, cause your skin to be irritated - and susceptible to infection from present bacteria.

However, not washing your face often enough will clog pores and cause your breakouts to be just as bad.

Go to a good dermatologist and follow the regimen prescribed for you.

Answer 2

Not true. Scrubbing your face only helps rid it of the dead skin cells. Don't use a scrub brush or anything. Try using a terry cloth wash cloth, they're a little rougher than your fingers yet gentle on the skin. Most wash cloths are terry cloth anyway, so it shouldn't be hard to find one in your bathroom closet.

Answer 3

Scrubbing will spread acne because you are spreading the acne-causing bacteria. Instead, be gentle with your skin. Use your fingertips to wash your face.
