I'm a 14 year old guy from the UK, if you were to see a picture of my face bare without any of the 5 products are put on my face once every morning and night you would probably say that I have quite medium/severe spots a couple of very small acne pimples on my forehead.

Like most people the T-Zone is the main danger zone for me And I would say I have about 3 or 4 spots between my two eyebrows and about 3 spots on my upper lip and about 4-5 on my chin. And probably about 5-10 spots/pimples on my forehead (my fringe hides them yipee!).

My hair is the main offender and you could say I have the old Justin Bieber hairstyle if that gives you a good representation of what it looks like :P. My skin gets extremely oily throught the day and peaks at about midday-1pm.

As mentioned I use 5 different products and I'm really wondering what order I should use them:

1.) So I wake up and have a shower and use my 'Freederm face wash' (btw it isnt a cleanser its a face wash and therefore I can only use it while having a bath/shower) this mainly clears out a lot of the oil I have on my face and I can definately feel the difference.

2.) Once my face is mostly dry (after about 10/15 minutes) I use my 'Biore blemish fighting cleanser for oily skin' lather it up and wash at the sink with luke warm water.

3.) After I'm completely dried off (usually about 40 minutes after coming out the shower) I used my 'Clean and Clear lotion for sensitive/oily skin' this is quite a strong water-based lotion that I apply to a cotton pad and rub all over my face.

4.) Next I use 'Clean and Clear advantage spot treatment gel' basically as the name suggests and just pop a tiny blob of the gel over my problem areas.

5.) Finally I use my godsent 'Witch concealer stick' obviously because I am a boy I try to use as least as I can and only apply a small amount of this Concealer over my slightly redish areas (basically my T-Zone whole area).

Is this a viable way of doing things? Should I switch a through things around? Thank You so much for reading this and I'd love to hear what types of routine you do for your skin (if your like me of course spotmania) :P I'm not that bad aha.

From James :)

PS: I don't use a Moisturizer or scrub of any sort. But I do sometimes use a gentle emery board just to rub off a few bits of loose dried skin.

You're using so many products you probably just irritate your skin and make it worse
I just use Sudacrem or E45 on spots

I just wash it with cleanser in the morning, then use benzoyl peroxide. At night, I wash my face again, then use adapalene, prescribed by my doctor. I also take antibiotics to help get rid of acne.

Your routine seems somewhat complicated, but all that matters is if it works. You might not need all of the five products. You could also talk to your doctor if that routine stops working.

All illness starts in the gut - treat from the inside out its probably your diet mostly
Or genetics
And get a haircut, Bieber hair is such a turn off- girls don't want a guy who is girlier than they are
