Hi there. I've read through the regime and would like to give it a try. As i lived in a tropical and humid country, I'm afraid just washing 2 times per day seems too little to me. Personally, I have oily skin. If I wake up at 7am and wash my face, I would need to wash my face at around 7pm, as stated in regime. Not much issue on this, but I sleep at around 11pm every night. During this period, I am bound to perspire and my face will definitely get oily. Should I wash my face again before I sleep? Or should I just go to bed with my oily face?
I'd really avoid washing more than twice per day, as doing so may cause excessive irritation which may aggravate acne further. Instead, consider using oil blotting sheets for during the day, or even take a high potency fish oil supplement, or a hemp seed oil supplement. Some people with oily skin have seen improvement by adding in some essential fatty acids to their diet. I personally liked the hemp seed oil capsules. About a month after starting my face was less oily.
You can try using an oil free moisturiser - which could help to mattify the skin. I personally wash my face in the morning when I wake, and only cleanse at 8 or 9pm at night. After cleansing at night, I make sure not to do activities that makes me sweaty before bedtime. Maybe try blotting with a clean piece of tissue if the oil is bothering you.

Well the thing is, I perspire easily. Like all the time. I could be sitting in front of a fan and when I get up to go to the toilet, I start perspiring...So keeping myself sweat free for a few hours before bedtime is really hard for me.

In that case, maybe wash your face when you get home, and before bed, just a splash of cold water to rinse away the excessive oil.
It's really not good to wash your face so many times a day. Determine if your skin is naturally that oily, or isit producing alot of oil because it's dehydrated. You should try washing twice a day and see if the oiliness tones down.
