Some people are genetically prone to acne or dryness, so the most important thing is to find products that are designed for your skin type. Drinking plenty of water also helps a lot.

I find that using a tinted moisturizer and a light dusting of bronzer produces a luminous glow. Highlighter can also enhance your glow.

Expert Answer

Vitamin C is great for the skin, so foods high in vitamin C like citrus fruits and bell peppers are helpful. Foods high in Omega-3s like fatty fish are also very helpful.

Question

How can I control my oily skin?

Community Answer

Maintain a diet that is low in fat and sugar and drink a lot of water. Also, I purchased inexpensive tissues called oil wipes that i carry around in my wallet. They take the oil right off.

Question

What's the quickest way to remove black spots on my legs?

Community Answer

Try exfoliating the skin wherever the black spots on your legs are. The most common way you get black spots are from mosquitoes, so try to just use some mosquito repellent whenever you go out for long periods of time.

Question

How do you get rid of blackheads?

Community Answer

There are lots of treatments you can try. Certain specific cleansers can help. Also, you can use pore strips, a common brand is Biore. If you go to Ulta there will be people there who can help you with your skin type and what might be causing your blackheads. Some quick tricks are using flossing picks (generally for your teeth) to help pop them. You can use two of them, place them in different directions and go after that blackhead. Steam can hep lift out the oil, dirt, or make up you put on your face. You can also have them professionally removed. Also, consult your dermatologist or normal doctor for possible medications to help you with blackheads.

Question

How do I pick the best skin care products for my oily skin?

Community Answer

Foaming face washes work well with oily skin. A common toner ingredient is witch hazel, but it can be overly stripping and sensitising to the skin so I recommend avoiding it. Don't leave out moisturiser, because the reason your skin is oily is because there isn't enough moisture in the first place, so the skin over produces sebum to compensate for that. You can use natural oils, such as rosehip, but go light on them as so to not clog your pores. Scrub 1-2 times a week with gentle scrubs, or scrubs formulated for oily skin.
