Bad Habits;

You avoid exfoliation A buildup of dead skin cells can cause itchiness and rashes, especially in unpredictable or dry weather. Scrub daily with a puff, a loofah, or a grainy exfoliator to help sweep rough skin away. Afterward, use moisturizer to lock in softness.

Habits to break

1. Don't overdo cosmeceuticals. With more and more beauty potions containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), salicylic acids, antioxidants, and retinoids, mixing a cleanser from one line with a scrub or daytime moisturizer from another, then a night cream from yet another, can lead to over-exfoliation and irritation. This can add up to a real problem, especially for women with olive and darker complexions, who are more prone to discoloration when their skin is irritated. To play it really safe, stick with one line of products which are formulated to work together. If you use any prescription products, such as Renova, ask your dermatologist to advise you on how to combine prescription treatments with over-the-counter cosmeceutical products.

2. Shake your booty. Twenty to 30 minutes of any aerobic exercise will give you a glow. Exercise increases blood flow, which brings more nutrients to the skin. But be aware -- the buildup of oil and perspiration can result in sweatband acne, folliculitis, and prickly heat. The solution: Shower as soon as possible after working out.

3. Don't get intimate with the phone. Constant rubbing on the mouthpiece may lead to rashes around the chin and mouth. Hold the phone away from those areas when talking, and clean it often with a mild soapy solution or rubbing alcohol.

4. Eat healthy. Antioxidants (vitamins A, C, and E) -- which help reduce sun damage and fight certain cancers, including skin cancer -- are essential to your health, I recommend a well-balanced diet filled with at least five servings a day of fruits and vegetables, plus a multivitamin that meets RDA standards.

5. Don't wear your makeup to bed. We all know it, but we sometimes do it anyway. "Layers of foundation, powder, and blusher left on overnight can clog pores and lead to acne or folliculitis." Take it all off before bed with a mild non-soap cleanser. But don't waste your money on a cleanser with glycolic acid or AHAs: "It's not on your face long enough to absorb into the skin, these ingredients are more effective in your moisturizer."

6. Hands off those zits. Poking, prodding, and popping can prolong a pimple's life and make the problem worse. Scarring and the spread of infection are two possible consequences. To speed up healing, cleanse your face, then apply a warm compress, such as a clean, damp washcloth. Next, dab on an over-the-counter cream or lotion containing a drying agent, such as salicylic acid, sulfur, or benzoyl peroxide.

7. Get your shut-eye. Most of us don't get the eight to nine hours we need to avoid sleep deprivation. There haven't been any conclusive studies on how being tired affects skin, but the effects aren't hard to detect -- namely, under-eye circles. The solution: Budget in sleep time, including a short afternoon nap whenever you can manage it.

8. Adopt "water, water, every day" as your mantra. Yes, drinking water does keep you hydrated, which helps skin look and feel better," Get in the standard 6 to 8 eight-ounce glasses throughout the day -- more if you're a heavy exerciser. be aware that many of the new sugar substitutes are dehydrating, so drink more water if you're into low-cal liquids.

Try using a facial scrub every other night. Also every other night use a facial loofa pad to remove dead skin. Major thing is use an astringent like Sea Breeze or Biore has a good one. It helps to close or shrink your pores so not as much dirt gets in. It also works a bit with the loofa and facial scrub to remove oils from the pores. Use oil of olay night cream for your face. i don't know how young you are but I have been using it since I was 14 and I now look 18. I am really going on 29. Also use a light weight lotion with sun screen. oil of olay has one that works great. Hope this helps. Don't forget to clean your face or wash your face before bed and lightly wash or rinse in the Morning.

Try steaming your face. Get a towel. large bowl and boil some water. Pour steaming water into bowl and let it cool slightly so that you can gently put your face over the bowl and into the steam. Wrap the towel over the back of your head to keep the steam in. Do this carefully in a nice quiet area of your home and give yourself "Me Time". Consult a dermatologist or ask a beauty representative or salon expert that looks great and they will be a great fountain of information.

cleanse, tone and moisturise twice daily with products suited for skin with blackheads. use a facial scrub 3 times a week, drink plenty of water. products with witch hazel or tea tree oil have good reputations for keeping blackheads under control. But don't go too overboard with your cleaning or you will actually make the problem worse

What worked for me is an exfoliating sponge and some salt or sea salt. You can buy the sponge at Krogers

Just be careful not to scrub to hard or you will end up with a scratch on ur face

You're just aggravating the problem further with all the topicals. You need to make your pores smaller, so the dirt and muck doesnt invade them- I swear by Persa-gel 10 by Clean and Clear- Its about 5 bucks at a drugstore or Wal-mart. Take my advice- youll thank me later!!
