Answer 3

I feel like you're washing your face too much. It sounds like a good idea, but it can dry out skin, which actually leads to MORE oil production (I know, sounds weird). You only need a three-step program. The first step should be any kind of cleanser or scrub (pick one...you don't need both). The second should be a toner/astringent (Clean & Clear makes one I really like, and they have different formulas for different skin types). And the last step is a moisturizer; in your case, you're going to want an oil-free version formulated for oily skin so it won't leave your skin greasy.

Other than that, you can use a benzoyl peroxide cream on individual acne spots to dry them out. Benzoyl peroxide is great for killing acne, while salicylic acid is really better for blackheads. It will dry out your skin, so make sure you're not rubbing it all over your face--just on each individual acne spot as needed, up to three times daily.

Hope that helped!!

I read somewhere that it's a good idea to exfoliate your face at night rather than in the morning as the skin renews itself every night as you sleep.Exfoliation at night is a good way of helping your skin to breathe and rejuvinate.

Rather than a sugar scrub,try St.Ives Apricot Scrub for Acne ad Blemish prone skin.
