On Face/Skin care (for oily skin)

I have an oily skin, puberty stage really is a hard time of my life. I had pimple breakouts which caused me to have low self-esteem. I was so pissed about it that I tried different products which does not even work. A doctor suggests me to buy this acne soap and advises me to be patient because it's normal. I was 12 years old at that time, now I'm 18 years old and I proved to myself that the doctor is true, it really took a lot of patience.

An oily face is acne/breakout prone. You just have to practice good hygiene and have a lot of patience (if you have the same condition as me, but practicing good personal hygiene is the best way to take care of your skin). Don't poke it until it's dry. A matter of fact just ignore it, pretend it's not there and you'll be surprised it'll be gone in no time. Giving a lot of attention to it makes you tempted to poke it and put stuffs on it that you shouldn't.


What I use:

• Facial Scrub: Pond's Clear Solutions Anti-bacterial Facial Scrub

• Salicylic acid kills bacteria. It's good for pimples and breakouts. (2x a day)

After that..

• Toner: Pond's Acne expert Pore conditioning Toner
• I'm not a huge fan of Pond's, I tried different products and this works the best for me. Do some researching about products that will suit your skin type. Don't experiment & believe bandwagon advertising of products. (2x a day)
• Moisturizer: Celeteque Facial Moisturizer
•  A moisturizer is also helpful even on oily skin. Just buy a moisturizer that is oil-free or hypoallergenic so it's milder and will just give your skin enough nutrients that it needs. Moisturizers can leave a sticky feel.
• An exfoliant: Natio Scrub

• Not to be used everyday, 2x a week will do. Don't scrub your face too much with exfoliants, it might get irritated which may also cause pimples and breakouts. This is to remove dead cells on your skin so that it'll be replaced. 
• Whitening: Pond's Whitening Detox White Spotless cream

• Some of my pimples leave scars. The pimple scars can* be treated with whitening products.
• Facial mud/mask: Watsons Green Tea Antioxidant deep cleansing mud

• Green tea is an antioxidant so it's good for your skin. I use this 2x a week in replace of the toner.

Not all of the products I mentioned can be effective on you. Again, just research on products that best suits your skin type. Make sure you know what's in that product. Some chemicals can be really harmful on your skin. Also, try home remedies (aloe vera, fruits, tomatoes, honey mask etc.) These can be really helpful and safe on your skin. Bottom line is, practice good personal hygiene and use your trusted products.
