How do I fix my skin? 😩😩😩

Question

It’s awful, I have millions of pimples on my chin and jawline areas, and everything above my cheeks is bone dry, and my nose is covered in blackheads. 
Right now I’m using a combination of the St. Ives green tea cleanser for acne, and some Olay moisture infusion cleaner. Then I use Clinique Redness Solutions moisturizer and sometimes a L’Oréal moisturizer. I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong here. My skin has always looked really bad. When I try to wear makeup, it looks so much worse and I end up taking all the makeup off.

Answer

I recommend going to see a dermatologist, and I stopped wearing makeup because my break outs were so bad. I use to wear it every day and I found that leaving it off is so much better and let’s your skin breathe

Answer

I think I may be the odd one out but have you thought about decreasing how many products you use? And also switching to natural things?
I had really bad acne when I was 11, all the way up to when I was 18-19. My acne went away. All of it. I stopped washing my face. I realized that a lot of products were really harsh to my skin. I used the  “ Simple” makeup wipes to take my makeup off and I didn’t do anything after. I drank my water and I ate a little better but not really. I get the occasional pimple here and there on my period.
I started washing my face again since I just wanted to be sure all my foundation was off my face before going to bed and prevent myself from ruining my pillow cases. I used gentle, natural products. Cerave is pretty good. I would get the gentle foaming cleanser. It’s perfect and super gentle. Never breaks me out. After washing my face, at night, I put rosehip oil on my face. It actually helps my pimples go away within a day or two. I only put it on at night but sometimes in the morning too if I’m not leaving the house. I use it to moisturize. I know tea tree oil is suppose to be good for acne and I hear jojoba oil is too.

Answer

The main thing to mention is to make sure you’re drinking LOTS of water. It’s so important for acne and dry skin. Take your weight, divide by 2 and that’s how many ounces you should be drinking each day. 
Toners also can do wonders. Helps restore the pH levels in your skin which are vital for even tone and handling acne. A good one for cheap is the rose water witch hazel. 
Don’t touch your skin. Touching and picking your skin is a big cause of acne. 95% of acne is caused by the bacteria on your hands and not actual acne from other things. 
Invest in a really good spot treatment for acne. Clean and clear works and is cheap but the best is the Mario (don’t know how to spell the last name) drying lotion or the tarte spot treatment. 
A really incredible but cheap product is The Ordinary 30% AHA just type that in and you’ll find it for $7-$13 dollars. Works really well. It works as a light chemical peel to help with acne and uneven skin tone/texture. 
Also a lot of dermatologists will recommend clearasil and for good reason. That stuff is really great for skin care. 
For blackheads you can use pore strips or get an extracting tool and watch videos to learn how to properly extract your blackheads. 
Last but not least here is a guideline with products. 
Cleanser: 1/2 times a day.
Tone: everyday after cleanser (use after each skincare product except moisturizer)
Manual/chemical exfoliants: 2 times per week
Moisturizing masks: how ever often you wish
Clay masks: 2/3 times a week. Very drying. 
Moisturizer: 1/2 times a day
I’m an esthetician but even I don’t know everything. This is the best help I could give you from personal experience and what I’ve learned from others. Hope this helps and good luck!

Answer

Please, for the love of all things good, go to a Dermatologist! Give your treatment a few months. It takes over 6 weeks for a pimple to appear. So it will take at least that amount of time to treat it.

Answer

I take roaccutane (i dont think that is how you spell it) and my acne has gone down to the point that i only have pimples when i get my period. It made my skin really dry and crusty at first and left a few dark marks; but then it all cleared up and now it looks( and feels) a whole lot better. try askibg your dermatologist about it, or like if you're taking birth control maybe look into that maybe that's why your face won't clear idk
