Hi guys! so i actually have combo skin [oily on my forehead and nose dry som other places] and i was just looking for a good skin care routine for this skin type. if you could let me know everything to use and like maybe a certain brand that would be great thanks!!
Answer
Combination skin is very common. It doesn't sound like you have any other issues going on like Acne or sensitive skin. Cetaphil makes a cleanser for combination skin that can be purchased at the drug store. It's a good basic cleanser. Eucerin makes a light moisturizer that has SPF 20. I also like SkinCeuticals Simply Clean Cleanser, it works really well on combo skin and won't cause dryness in other areas of the face. Just make sure to use an oil free sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Colorescience makes a great one in a powder. I've heard Cameron Diaz talk about it in magazines. She loves it because her skin is oily in some areas and it doesn't make her shiny.

i have acne and i`m only 14 years old, yeah.. i know your supposed to have it in your adolescence years, but it seems like i have a lot for my age. and i've tried everything.
it's only on the cheek area though, close to the nose.
is there any skin care product that may help?
most of it is scarring, is there anything that can get rid of acne scars?
and i also have to wear foundation to cover it, but i get very insecure about my skin when i go into the sun and you can see the foundation TRYING to cover it but i get embarrassed by it
is there a way i can try to get over my embarrassedness?
Answer
Try not to wear makeup and foundation if you can help it: sometimes it makes it seem more obvious that you are trying to cover it up, plus it clogs more pores and causes more acne. I would talk to your mum about getting a facial, and then use MD Forte. MD Forte basically consists of three parts:
1. A cleanser
2. "Crystals" you mix into the cleanser so it's like a scrub (it clears out all your pores SO well)
3. A slightly acidic moisturizer for after washing.
I swear by the moisturizer, but the cleanser can be replaced with something like Cetaphil (found at your local Walgreens or drugstore). I don't know of any other product that has crystals, but they are inexpensive. The moisturizer and cleanser tend to be pricey, but, like I said, the cleanser can be substituted.
So I suggest looking up a site you can order these from and getting the crystals and cleanser, then picking up some Cetaphil locally. Remember: it ALWAYS helps when a professional aesthetician goes in and gives you a good facial first. They know how to get all that junk out of your skin without damaging it :]
A few other basic tips:
-Use products that are fragrance-free
-Use products that are marked "daily" (they tend to help avoid product build up)
-Try not to wear too much makeup.
-Wash your face every morning and every night. In the morning, you actually have oils built up from your skin and face that accumulate as you sleep. At night, you wash away the daily dirt and grime, so both are really important.
-Look for products marked for "sensitive skin" to avoid anything too harsh, if that has been a problem in the past.
Hope that all helps! Good luck!
