Answer 1

~RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS~*
It's best that you stick with ONE product line formulated for your skin type.

-FOR OILY SKIN (Oily in T-zone and other areas):
Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask, Neutrogena Clear Pore Oil-Controlling Astringent, Neutrogena Oil-free Moisture SPF 15, & Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Scrub:
- the Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask can be used as both a daily cleanser and for your mask in your weekly facial.

-FOR COMBINATION SKIN (2 or more of these conditions: dry, oily, sensitive, breakouts, etc.)

Advanced Solutions™ Complete Acne Therapy System, Oil-Free Acne Wash Daily Scrub
(don’t use every day, only once a week during your weekly facial), and Oil-Free Acne Wash 60 Second Mask Scrub

It's important that you take care of your skin on a daily/weekly basis as follows...

~DAILY/WEEKLY SKINCARE~
-You will need: Cleanser, Toner (or Astringent), Cotton Balls, Moisturizer, Mask (or Masque), Extractor (found at most beauty supply stores), and either a facial steamer or hand towel for steaming.

-Morning and night (before going to bed): cleanse, tone, and moisturize. If you have clogged pores, whiteheads and blackheads, then 2-3 times a week include steaming (in this order: cleanse, tone, steam, tone, moisturize).

-Once a week: cleanse, tone, steam, exfoliate, tone, *extractions, tone, mask, tone, moisturize. *IF NEEDED, for blackheads, pimples, etc, Don't begin doing extractions until you have been following all of the other steps for at least . weeks, so that the steaming will have caused any tough blemishes to begin to soften.

-How to: *
Cleanse -use a small amount and lather with water, apply using circular motions all over face and neck, repeat if you have makeup on
Tone - Squeeze a small amount onto the cottonball and wipe all over face and neck
Steam - for 10-15 minutes, using one of these methods: facial steamer, hold your face 3-5 inches above steaming water, or drape a hot towel over your face (leaving your nostrils and/or mouth exposed)
Exfoliate - follow the same steps as in cleansing, but don't repeat
Extractions - place the hoop (or eye) over the blemish (or blackhead) so that the blemish is in the center of the hoop, apply slight pressure and use rocking and rolling movements all around the blemish (don't use so much pressure that you create indentions or bruises on your skin), if and when the blockage comes out of the pore, wipe away with a cottonball that has been dampened with toner
Mask - apply mask evenly on face and neck, leave for 10-15 minutes, remove by draping a hot towel over your face, then wiping away - if it begins to sting or burn intensly before 10-15 minutes has passed remove and consider using a milder mask
Moisturize - apply a small amount on face an neck and massage until it's absorbed
*In all of these steps, always avoid the eye area.

~VITAMINS/MINERALS, DIET, & EXCERCISE~
Each day, include a multivitamin for women and try to maintain a fairly healthy diet and exercise routine. Also see this site about vitamins and the skin: http://www.prevention.com/article/0,5778... If you take any of these in addition to your daily multivitamin, be sure not to take more than the recommended dosages.

Answer 2

Try the Blue corn 3 in 1 deep cleansing scrub mask from the body shop. Apply it to your whole face and wait about 10 mins., then wash it all off. It really works, try it! Use it once a week.

Try clean and clear oil-free shine control moisturizer. I use that on my face before I put on sunscreen and, it seems to help keep my pores unclogged for the most part.
