i took Bioré's "skin profiler" survey thing and they gave me a list of items that i should use for my face. so i bought the Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser, Pore Unclogging Scrub, Triple Action Astringent, Self-Heating Mask, Pore Minimizing Lightweight Moisturizer SPF 15, Daily Cleansing Cloths, Blemish Fighting Cleansing Cloths. So every morning i've been using the Daily Cleansing Cloths, Blemish Fighting Cleansing Cloths and the Pore Minimizing Lightweight Moisturizer SPF 15. Then at night i've been using the Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser, Pore Unclogging Scrub, and the Pore Minimizing Lightweight Moisturizer SPF 15. And weekly i've been using the Triple Action Astringent and Self-Heating Mask. My boyfriend says i'm doing too much for my skin and that i'm doing it wrong. So, my question is, AM i really doing it wrong? and if so, what products should i use in the morning, in the evening, and weekly (if there is one to use weekly) and in what order if there is any specific order?

It sounds like you're doing a bit much. You don't need to use more than one cleanser or cleansing cloths at a time. Just pick one cleanser you think works best and use that, and follow that with a moisturizer. At night after you wash your face you might use a toner to remove dirt and makeup. You should use the scrub 1-2 times a week and the mask once a week.
You can actually do more harm than good over-cleaning your skin by stripping it of it's natural oils and removing layers of skin, irritating it.
Well i worked at The Body Shop for a while and I learned that you only need three steps to cleansing your face 1.Cleanse 2.Tone 3.Protect ( wash your face, use a toner after to get rid of extra dirt, and moisturize it to protect) Its pretty good. Once or twice a week you can use the Scrub in place of the cleanser just to exfoliate your skin. You could use the same regime both morning and night. All those protects your using on your face now seems painful, u might irate the skin. Try this and im sure you'll see a difference!!
