    Stop using any harsh products or products with strong ingredients. Even if they remove oil temporarily, they're probably going to make your skin produce more oil in the future. Just stick with a simple skincare routine and use gentle products.

    That's a tall order. Everyone has different skin, and that's a really short time frame. Your best chance is to go see an esthetician to see what kind of professional treatments may work for you.
  • Question
    How do I get rid of pimples naturally?
    Community Answer
    Try natural and homemade face packs. Lemon, rosewater, and garlic work really well on pimples, while yogurt, honey, and oatmeal can help in skin whitening and cleaning.
  • Question
    Is washing my face with a face wash 2 - 3 times a daily good for sensitive skin?

    Community Answer
    The best thing to do is to wash twice a day. Washing too much will irritate your skin and make it worse.
  • Question
    How does steaming your face help?
    Community Answer
    It opens up your pores, which makes it easier to clean away impurities and easier for a mask or other product to be absorbed. It's not a necessary part of a good skincare routine, but if you want to do it, it's best to do it before using a mask or before washing your face.
  • Question
    How many times should I use a face wash?
    Community Answer
    Wash your face 2-3 times a day with a gentle soap to get rid of oil and control acne. Use a moisturizer without oil after each wash to keep your skin healthy.
  • Question
    How do I remove the black dots on my face?
    Community Answer
    Using a peel mask can get rid of blackheads for a little while, but using a cleanser daily helps get rid of any dirt, oil or makeup that causes blackheads.
  • Question
    Why do teenagers always get acne or pimples when they're stressed?
    Community Answer
    Teenagers are more prone to acne because of the increase in hormones at this age. Stress produces even more hormones, making acne outbreaks extremely common.
  • Question
    If I have oily skin, what kind of moisturizer should I use?
    Community Answer
    Use a good non-comedogenic moisturizer. In the US, CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion PM is one good option that can be found in most drug stores (there's an AM version too, with sunscreen, but if you don't like its texture or don't want to buy two separate ones, you can just use the PM one morning and night). But feel free to try different things and see what works for you.
  • Question
    Is there anything I can do about whiteheads?
    Community Answer
    Just avoid popping them, cleanse your face two or three times a day, moisturize and eat healthier foods.
  • Question
    How do I get rid of tiny pimples?
    Community Answer
    The main thing to do is to not mess with them and not pop them. Popping is the worst thing you can do to pimples. Wash your face two times a day, and use a toner and moisturizer. You can ask your dermatologist for any medicine or pimple creams if you feel like it’s necessary.
  • Question
    Is it okay to wash my face 2-3 times a day if I have sensitive skin?
    Community Answer
    Wash your face twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. Overwashing can cause redness and irritation.
  • Question
    How can I get rid of acne scars really quickly?
    Community Answer
    Apply vitamin E oil each day.
  • Question
    How can ice improve the skin?
    Community Answer
    Ice diminishes larger pimples. I use it when I have a large pimple, but it's not necessary if you have mild acne. It reduces inflammation and the size of a pimple by increasing blood circulation so that your pores aren't blocked up. It really does work wonders. However, I wouldn't recommend using it daily as it can cause redness.
  • Question
    Is it okay to exfoliate my skin every day when I have acne?
    Community Answer

    What happens if I pop/mess with a pimple?
    Community Answer
    You may get an infection or the spot may scar.
  • Question
    What kind of soap should I wash my face with?
    Earthgirl20
    Community Answer
    Facial skin is more sensitive than the rest of your body, so you have to use soaps and cleansers made specifically for your face.
  • Question
    How do I get clear skin besides using a homemade mask and washing my face and moisturizing? Are there any others ways not provided in this wikiHow? Specifically for forehead pimples?

    You can try to eat healthier foods and drink a lot of water daily. There are also medications which you can apply on your skin to get rid of spots.
  • Question
    What can I do to remove blackheads on my nose, aside from using nose strips?

    Steaming your face should help with getting rid of them. Eating healthier and exercise will help prevent more.
  • Question
    Can I get rid of imperfections in less than two days?
    Community Answer
    No, it will take time for scars, scabs, acne, and other imperfections to go away. Also, if you think increasing the intensity of the treatment will help, it may make your skin worse so be patient.
  • Question
    How do I get rid of white spots on my face? I don't know if they are whiteheads or not.
    Community Answer
    White spots like you described can be small whiteheads that can be popped, or they can be milia (milium cyst). Milia develop when tiny skin flakes become trapped in small pockets near the surface of the skin. I would suggest visiting a dermatologist to extract milia. They appear as whiteheads but they are deeper into the skin, making milia hard to pop.
  • Question
    Are you sure these steps work for oily skin?
    Community Answer
    Yes, because washing your face and using toners and BB cream will remove the grease from your face.
  • Question

    Lemon, honey and tomato are the three most commonly known remedies for lightening skin. Try applying homemade lemon and honey masks onto your face weekly.
  • Question
    I thought I'm not supposed to use any soap substances on my face? Why does another answer say differently?

    Some soap substances are designed to be used on the face because they don't contain chemicals that aren’t meant for the face.
