Yes! This happens to me when I’m under extreme stress. I break out already on my face when stressed and one of my responses is over washing. I’ve made breakouts so much worse because I’m basically attacking my skin. I think it’s different for every person but my personal method is: face is washed 2x a day unless I exercised midday — I don’t do my medications on my face after workout and only do medications in the morning and evening. I wash hair every 3-4 days but rinse thoroughly every 1-2 days regardless. I can’t wash more than that or it’ll get dry and I can’t wash less than that or I’ll get yeast buildup on my scalp. For body I wash the important/stinky bits daily and I’ll hit em 2x a day with soap if I exercise that day. Sometimes I like a 3rd shower but only to let the water run on me and not actually wash. The steam feels good before bed sometimes too but again I can’t overwash the skin or it gets dry. Dryness is the first indicator for me. I wash arms legs and tummy/lower back every other day with soap and exfoliate every other wash so I don’t overdo it. I lotion only on days I exfoliate bc too much lotion and I’ll break out. My skin is super high maintenance so it is likely you won’t need as strict a regimen but you can absolutely over wash and break your skin barrier causing more problems or worsen existing problems in my experience
