My face gets really oily and I get pimples and blackheads constantly. Especially around the nose and chin. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Try out different face cleansers. I have that problem too sometimes. I use the white Go 360 one from L'oreal I think. It works pretty well. You can also try to find like a pH balancing toner, I use that a lot in summer when my face gets oily. And Clean and Clear makes these things, I forget what they call them, but they come in packs of like little blue sheets that you can use throughout the day to remove oil from your face.

Try different cleansers and try using benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. If it persists, see your doctor and get a referral to a dermatologist.

First, talcum power your face - it brings out the oils/grease and shit. Then rinse with cold water. After that, cleanse your face and make sure that you pat dry it so not all the moisture is lost. That's what worked with me.

Well, I use to have the same issue. I used creams and such, but it didnt work for me, so I went on meds. The meds work good, but if you ever do decide to go on meds, just know that its a very strong medication. Anyways, try using multi step cleansers that would have Scrubbing pads, shower scrubs, and then lotion. I used a multi step cleanser set and it helped, but didnt clear my face. Its different on everyone, so dont be afraid to try it. Any face cleanser should help, depending on what all you like and the brands. Whatever you do, I hope all goes well.

they make anti oil face masks. no idea if they work though :/ my face gets kind of oily so i use these powdered face wipes from sephora that wipe away the oil. As for acne, i leave exfoliator on my face overnight. idk it works :D and basically what everyone else said, drink water (it flushes things about) and dont touch your face :)

I still have problems every now and then, but I use an Oil-Free cleanser from Clean and Clear, it's like, orange and it's foamy :D I just wash my face in the shower, and that normally takes care of my pimples. If I don't get a chance to wash my face, I have little scubby pads from Clearasil, and if that doesn't work, I have an acne spot treatment from Clean and Clear. Eh, keep in mind that useing too many Acne treatments can dry your skin and make problems worse. ~holli

i had the same issue. Try meds or even washing your face with a wash cloth if you only use your hands right now. Maybe the wash cloth will penetrate deeper

try in becoming vegan, it might help. Or just go for accutane if it is really bad.

Spot cream, three times a day. Morning, after school and before bed. Put it on a flannel or a towl or somethin'. Get it wet and smug it in slightly so it goes like all soapy. Then just rub it all over your face then rinse. What I do.

Try using GENTLE face cleansers, a trick that works well is using a blend of tea tree oil and water, the oil helps kill the bacteria that causes pimples. Using to much acne products can also irritate your skin and cause even more pimples, so just stick with an ultra gentle cleanser and maybe 1 acne medication alongside the tea tree oil and water blend. It can also be caused by stress, so do the 7-7-7 breathing, breathe in for 7 sec then hld it for 7 sec then breathe out for 7 sec, and try doing that 3x a day.
