I like to use a mild cleanser like Cetaphil 2x or maybe 3x a day for oily skin... Follow with witch hazel for toner, it's alcohol free and found at most drug stores. I have sensitive skin so I exfoliate with a bit of baking soda mixed with my usual cleanser about 2x a week but, you could do it 3x. It will make your skin look very smooth/healthy. Use a moisturizer for oily/combination skin. Good luck

take about four aspirin and dissolve them in a few drops of water.. add in a squirt of honey and make it into a paste.. you can also add in a few vitamin e capsules if ya like.. this can be used as a scrub, mask if left on for ten minutes, and a spot treatment left on over night.. it works like pro active.. i've used both and got the same result with each which is clear skin..
another thing i do as an exfoliate is i scrub my face with an electric toothbrush.. it's sounds kinda weird but it works.. it really cleans out your pores and removes dead skin, oil and dirt.. you can use any scrub ya like or the aspirin i mentioned.. i like to use st. ives.. and i do it about three times a week..
only wash your face when you wake up in the morning, before you go to bed, and after exercise.. excess washing makes your face produce extra oil..
warm water opens pores and cold closes them.. so wash with warm and rinse with cold..
also you may want to get a good toner and moisturizer.. not astringent because it contains a ton of alcohol and is rough on your skin.. and make sure the moisturizer is oil free..
and watch the make up you use.. a mineral make up is much better for your skin.. it doesn't clog your pores or cause breakouts.. i recommend bare minerals.. a little goes a long way and it looks very natural..
drink lots of water.. eat healthy.. and take vitamin e, vitamin c, zinc and b vitamins..
i hope this helps..

You need to use a pore cleaner atleast twice a week. oily skin and some time breakouts can occur if your pores are clogged. you can go to this site and find a really good Pore Cleansing masque. http://srizvi.qhealthbeauty.com/ . They also have really other anti- age and skin care products. if you get confused about which one to use, you can email them through the site and they r good at getting back with you in time.
Good Luck!

Tee Tree is wonderful, It removes dirt and oil so easily, it toughtens skin, gives skin a natural glow and its a natural product so has no harmful chemicals. It does sting if it get in your eyes though. You can buy it from most shops but if your from the UK superdrug is best. The smells nice too.

head to your nearest Clinique counter, they will give you a facial and let you know what your regimen should be. I had much clearer skin within a couple of weeks. In fact I had better luck with it than with proactiv.

Often times it is the methods you use that are as important as your cleansers and such.
make sure that you do not over clean your face and skin. never rub to hard on your skin to cause damage.

You can try drug store products like neutrogena or cetaphil.
Or you can spend a little and try murad or mary kay skin care, really good stuff.
