Hello my Lovelies!!
This post was a highly requested one on my Facebook Page. I know the problems of combination to oily skin, i have dealt with many myself. Sometimes i feel i can really write a book on it!!
Anyway i'll try my level best to give an in-depth detail for everything and i hope it works for you !!
Well first thing you girls need to understand is that clean skin is the key to everything. If your skin is clean so it will avoid many skin problems like acne, blackheads, whiteheads and dullness etc.
Some products in the market are expensive and some are cheap. Its a big myth that only expensive things work and cheap don't do a thing. If a product is nice so no matter what's the price charged for it, it will work but if it isn't so no matter what you do it will fail.
Sometimes you will find something working for your friend but it fails on you, at that point you need to understand this that your skin isn't accepting that and you need to stop using it. Forceful use of products believing it will work one day will lead to nothing but a damaged skin!!
One thing which many of us fail to understand at the initial stage or generally is that if a product isn't for your skin or suits you so it will start showing its results like breakouts,dullness in complexion and bad skin texture etc. This is the biggest indication that you have to stop using it. I even try many things and when i see anything unusual i stop using it. Don't experiment with your skin please !!
Other most important thing is the cleanliness of your skin. No matter how tired you are or lazy you have to understand this that oily skin means pores, which when get clogged it will result in those hideous breakouts; so please wash your face properly.
Those of you who wear makeup its very important that you take it off properly!! Never ever sleep with makeup on, not even a mascara. Makeup is no doubt something we all love but you need to make sure that you clean your skin properly when you remove it as left over makeup on your skin can clog pores and result in breakouts.
As its a skin care routine so i will avoid getting in too much details about do's and don'ts of cleanliness of face and jump right into the details of the products which help me control many of the skin problems and keep my skin better.
Remember this that this routine might help you or it might not, if you suffer from severe skin problems so i'll suggest you going to a dermatologist rather than experimenting yourself. If you have minute acne or nothing serious so precautions will help you.
Just remember this that you can't stop your natural oils from leaving your skin but you can keep your skin clean to avoid any problems and control the oil level on your skin. If you will keep your skin clean so it will result in less clogged pores and blackheads.

These are some of the products i have been using and i do find them good. These really help me control my breakouts and keep my skin clean.
1. CLEAN & CLEAR "Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub"- Ok this is an easily available product that you can find at every super store/grocery store. I don't remember its price tag but its less than RS 200/- i think. Its a good scrub for daily use as its not harsh for skin and at the same time it keeps your skin clean. I won't say its 100% blackhead removing scrub but it does keep your skin clean and at the same time its soft and easy enough to work with. It won't do wonders to your skin but will help you control clogged pores and blackheads to some extent.
2. NEUTROGENA "PINK GRAPEFRUIT ACNE-WASH"- This is the face wash i have been using for long enough and i can say this thing about it confidently that it really helps in reducing breakouts and it keeps the oil level on your skin under control. Despite all this it does make your skin dry so you need to use a moisturiser after this if it dries out certain areas of your skin. Its expensive no doubt i.e. it will cost you around RS 700/-, but its worth it. Only a drop is enough for cleaning your entire face so don't push too much product out as it will just go in waste. Its available at bigger stores that is you will find it usually at naheed,agha's or imtiaz. I got mine from imtiaz store.
3. QUEEN HELEN "Mint Julep Masque"- Its an amazing product i must say. It does wonders no doubt. It has so cooling effect on skin while you put it on and the best thing is it dries out very quickly. Its thick in consistency but it really does its job well. If you suffer with acne which has pus inside so this is your best friend!! It won't just suck it out but help you by not spreading its germs on other places. When we squeeze it ourselves that pus or clear liquid goes on the other areas and spreads the acne and can result in acne marks too. So to avoid all of this use this mask. You have to order this online, its not locally available. It costs between RS 900-1000/- depending on the page you buy it from.
4. BODY SHOP "Facial Cleansing Polish"- Its a nice cleansing foam that helps you clean your skin properly but its not towards clearing blackheads or acne. It targets improving your skin texture and reduce dullness. I got this in my mystery box. So far i am pleased with it.
Now the question that may arise is how to use each of the products???
Well what i personally do is when i come back home from my university i use my clean and clear scrub and rub it in circular motions all over my face making sure that i clean all the dirt and impurities well. Then i go with my pink grapefruit face wash and wash my entire face with it. I let my face dry on its own that is i dont wipe it off with anything.
Sometimes i use facial polish by body shop in the morning before i use my pink grapefruit face wash. I just wash my face with it like i would do with a normal face wash.
At night i wash my face with the scrub or polish then my face wash. After that i put on this mask. Let it dry and the wash it off with water. I use this mask 3-4 times a week. I don't use it daily as i like to use my homemade mask instead of this.
I keep switching and rotating the products that is sometimes i like to use scrub instead of my facial polish but i never skip washing my face with my pink grapefruit face wash.
Remember this that this routine might help you or it might not, if you suffer from severe skin problems so i'll suggest you going to a dermatologist rather than experimenting yourself. If you have minute acne or nothing serious so precautions will help you.
Just remember this that you can't stop your natural oils from leaving your skin but you can keep your skin clean to avoid any problems and control the oil level on your skin. If you will keep your skin clean so it will result in less clogged pores and blackheads.
