This is probably the mother of all myths - fostered, no doubt, by all old wives' conviction that youngsters are inherently dirty, that cleanliness is next to godliness, that dirt is therefore the work of the devil and that acne is the punishment for such work.
By all means wash your face. But do so with plain water if that is enough to loosen the surface dirt. If it takes more than that, use the mildest cleanser you can find. Reserve the more thorough washings for those of your body interstices that are likely to cause unpleasant body odour -and unlikely to develop acne.
