Ok should i get a 3 step skin care "system". Or just a good cleanser and something to use as spot treatment. And Which stuff? What should i use???
Answer
I highly suggest three step systems.
cleansers are often very drying to the skin and remove natural oils your skin needs.
toners remove excess cleanser residue, left over dirt in the pores and restores the pH balance in the skin instantly (it takes about 30 minutes without a toner.)
moisturizers are essential. don't ever skip this step. .. EVER.
Pimples can form if your skin is dehydrated (which also can be why your skin is oily). If your skin is dehydrated it will overproduce oil and clog the pores. The best regimen for healthy and hopefully clear skin:
1. Wash with a gentle cleanser (don't overwash though)
2. Tone with a moisturizing and alcohol free toner.
3. Moisturize with a product that is either oil free or non-cosmodegenic with a SPF.
4. Exfoliate 2 or so times a week.
My regimen:
1. Proactiv solution in the evening when my breakouts are more intense. (but doesn't work very well on small whiteheads or blackheads)
OR
1. Origins Get Down Deep Pore Clay Cleanser (really good for white heads! got rid of the small bumps on my face in about a week. clay cleansers or masks are really good for the skin, but can be slightly drying if it's a cleanser)
2. Origins A Perfect World Toner. this is an alcohol free toner that has white tea in it which is great for hydrating the skin and preventing environmental damage.
3. Clinique dramatically different moisturizing GEL. I use the gel even though I have dry skin because it is oil free.
4. 10% Benzoyl Peroxide as a spot treatment. This you can get from target but it might be more expensive. I get mine from Kaiser Permanente for about 5 dollars, and it's not a prescription. It's very drying so use it in small amounts or just continuously moisturize when it's flakey. I apply this three times a day on the problem area, my acne goes away in a couple days.
Recommended Drug Store Products:
1. St. Ives Apricot Scrub (I use gentle)
2. Nivea Moisturizing Toner
3. Oil free or Non-cosmodegenic moisturizer with SPF. (Neutrogena / Dove / Cetaphil / Garnier )
Exfoliate with an electric toothbrush (like a crest one -- even if that sounds weird) VERY GENTLY across your face with an exfoliating scrub. I do this with L'Oreal Men's expert anti-roughness scrub.
Everyone's skin is different. Whatever you do, don't freak out and rotate your products like crazy. I've done that and it damaged my skin.

home made solution to clean and care for exotic skins?
prof
What is the best home solution to keep exotic skin soft and shinning
Answer
Skin Care
Remedy for oily skin: make a homemade mask by combining one egg white and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply mask and rinse with warm water after 20 minutes
For softer skin, steam your face over boiling water (drape a towel over head to hold in steam); remove dead skin with a loofah, drink lots of water
To rid blackheads, mix cornstarch with vinegar, plaster on the area for 15-30 minutes; wash off with washcloth and warm water.
Put cold, cooked oatmeal on your face, it can help give you nicer skin (submitted by laura)
