Im going on 16. i have basically quite rough skin with quite many blackheads on my nose and recently *gasp* on my cheeks. I thought my skin used to be dry but now its abit oily when i touch it (more oily on nose) and especially oily when i put on moisturizes and night cream. so is it good or bad now? Also, i only used to have pimples on my T-zone but now its more concentrated on my cheeks. help. is there something wrong with the products i use or is it just puberty? Does your skin type actually changes?
Everyday, i only use an exfoliator, cleanser and apply moisturiser straight away. will my acne problems be solved after i use a toner?
Im quite sceptical about toners as my friend says some can worsen your face? Is is better will no alcohol and how do you see if you have large pores. Thankyou!

You have combination skin which requires a special cleanser you can buy one at the chemist ask there advise you want go wrong, remember you will grow out of teenage years soon enough and your skin will thank-you for taking extra care, wash off any makeup your wear before you go to bed at night and all ways (do not) repeat (do not squeeze them blackhead's) or you will end up with scares enjoy your teens your only young once

You didn't state what brand of products you are using.
1) If you are broken out,, DO NOT EXFOLIATE.
2) Use all the same product line. Lines are made to work together. If you use different ones they can actually react to each other & cause problem with your skin.
3) A big mistake people have in skin care is using too strong of products, which irratate the skin causing break out. Using products for the wrong skin type.
4) Always use a fresh clean wash cloth(daily) on face & not one you use on your body.
5) Make sure you change bedding regularly
6) Keep hair clean..it might be allergy to hair products breaking you out too.
A toner helps close pores & cleans off cleanser residue,but use one that is for you skin type. It may be different in the winter than the summer.
Yes, your skin can change. Hormones, Time of year, Food we eat. lack of rest & stress, all contribute to changes.

You sound like you have combination skin: Oily around your nose and cheeks, and dry elsewhere.
It's probably just puberty, as you guess. Keep your face clean and it should clear up.
Good luck!
