Hi, Emelia: First, a question for you: Why are you using so many dfeeirfnt brands of skincare? It’s generally good to stick with just one or two brands. You're probably OD'ing on some ingredients, while totally missing out on others. That being said, I hate to introduce one more brand to you!! The problems that you’re experiencing could be the result of hormones, diet or stress. Sounds like excess oils have clogged your pores. Let's try to get your pores functioning normally.. Cleansing. Wash your skin with lukewarm water, no more than 2-3 times a day, with a cleanser formulated for oily skin. Washing more often, or with very hot water or harsh soaps, will only increase the activity of the oil glands. Rinse thoroughly and finish off with a toner/ astringent on the oily areas of your skin. Unclog the pores. The best way to treat acne is to use both a physical and chemical exfoliant. Most of the scrubs that are labelled as “gentle” are too gentle to be effective. Try the ZO Skin Health Exfoliating Polish. It uses round magnesium crystals to buff the skin, clear off dead, dry skin cells, and remove surface debris from the pores. You can use it once a day (in the shower—it’s easier to rinse off that way). Or as little as 2-3 times a week, once you get your skin under control. The oil-producing glands tend to be more prominent around the nose, and so oily skin is more problematic there. ZO Skin Health TE pads are soaked in salicylic acid and glycolic acid to exfoliate the skin cells and reduce oiliness. It also contains an anti-bacterial agent. Use one pad once or twice a day and allow to air-dry. (Some people are able to cut them in half, and use only half of a pad). It’s the combination of these two—a mechanical exfoliant and a chemical one—that work together to control oiliness and breakouts. Generally, having one without the other just isn’t enough. If these problems persist, it’s important to get medical treatment, because you will get more pockmarks. Those can’t really be successfully treated with any topical cream—you need lasers or a chemical peel. Let me know how you do! The products that I've suggested are only enough to control acne if you have other problems, let me know!Donna QueenPresident, ZO Skin Health

Wow thinking this way at 16 aledray. Well that's a little psycho but hey good for you the best way to keep skin healthy is to take care of it now! I am 29 and I am freakingout about getting wrinkles and all that stuff.I dated a dermatologist and I am a scientist so I can totally help you out for advise The #1 thing you can do is wear sunscreen EVERY day. Every morning when you gently wash your face put on SPF 15 or greater. I use neutrogena SPF45 you can get it at walmart where the face washes are. You got to use it every day. Also try not to wear tons of caked on make up, a little is fine but the more you put on the more it settles into your grooves int he skin and makes the deeper. Never wear make up to bed- unless you absolutley have to. And do not scrub your face, treat it gently that skin is soft and delicate. Make sure you drink fruit juice, low fat milk and plenty of water to keep skin hydrated- but that is normal advise for your whole body. Use a moisturizer for your skin every day (any one is good as long as it says for face they are all similar, you only need anti wrinkle ones when you are in your late 20 s right now they will do absolutly nothing, so just get a normal one). Also vitamins can keep skin strong and soft- take a kids chewable vitamin every day- like flinstones- yes the kids kind (I take them too they rock) at any age all you need is the kids chewables because you eat normal food to get most of the vitamins you need anyways they just help in case you slack of on vegies and such. DO NOT SMOKE, smoking puts wrinkles on fast and can cause cancer on your skin (and duh lungs too. lol)SPF is the #1 way to keep your skin young for years and years all the other stuff will help but sun damage is the #1 ager of skin (unless you smoke, then smoke is #1).
