How I did it: Trying all kinds of creams. At first, I didn't know much about skin (which is why I go the acne) but every time I would go to my facialist, she explained me the reason why my skin is the way it is. I also asked around if anyone knew a way to get rid of acne. After thousands of products (LITERALLY!) and facials... oh those painfull facials!

Lessons & tips: DON'T USE MAKE UP! TIE YOUR HAIR UP! For girls anyways.This isn't good for your skin, even if it's dreadful to be walking out with a zit on your nose. Guys don't judge you by how you look (they actually don't notice it) but by how CONFIDENT you are.

For guys, wash your face after you play ball! Yes, all that sweat will attract DUST/DIRT! Water is polar. Try this out: leave a cup of water on the counter for a day. You'll start noticing that there are specs of dust. Yep, imagine how much your PORES attract esp. since it's a lot smaller than the cup.

Resources: Artistry: Pore Cleansing Mask, Hydration Mask, Face Wash, Lotion with SPF 15 (it's MUCH better than off the counter face block! I tried Neutrogena SPF 45, and I still TAN!)

I don't use toner in the winter because it drys out my skin causing breakouts.

Cold Season: I use the Dry Skin line. My skin gets extremely dry and I do extra Hydration mask. I don't leave the pore cleansing mask longer than 15 mins.

Warm Season: I use the Green Line.. (i forgot which one it is.. sorry!) I leave the pore cleansing mask ALL NIGHT and I wake up and do the hydration mask for 15 minutes. Yes, I use toner.

Remember, this is for MY skin, you skin maybe different!

I'm oily on my cheeks and nose (NOT T-zone). My forehead is dry. Because of this, I usually don't put the pore cleansing mask on my forehead (I don't breakout there either) instead I put the hydration mask twice there.

I try to get a facial during school breaks (like christmas vacation and such) because my face is red for a week! ): But you get a baby's bottom face! (:
