I have combination skin, esp. in winter. How can I treat (teen) acne and keep my face moisturised??? Thanks!
I have sensitive skin that is oily with random dry patches. Use a face wash in the shower and every night before bed, moisturize every morning (night if needed), and use spot treatment on specific break-outs.
I personally love the Neutrogena Blackhead eliminating scrub:

For a moisturizer I try to keep it as light as possible in order to prevent break-outs. I’ve found the Neutrogena Oil-free Sensitive Skin moisturizer to work really well:

Wash your face as normal and use a moisturizer after you wash.

moisturizing is very important even if you have acne youre supposed to wash your face and moisturize. If you don’t then you will have dry irritated skin.

If you have very dry skin (like me) in the winter, sometimes using a moisturizer is not enough, it tends to make your skin break out, and then you wash your face more and your skin gets more dry. There are a few simple steps I take for having clear, moisturized skin:
1. Foam face cleansers are good and do not peel skin cells like exfoliators
2. wash your face with a foam cleanser twice a day (at night wash, put moisturizer and then use a spot treatment for pimples such as PanOxyl or a spot treatment from Life brand.[only apply to pimples not whole face] )
3. ONCE a week use an exfoliator. This helps get rid of dead skin cells on your face. (use once at night then moisturizer then spot treatment etc.)
There are also a few face masks that are easy to make that I use which really help:
-Egg Face mask (for acne) – 1 egg, take only the egg whites and put them in a bowl, stir until bubbly. Apply a good amount all over your face and leave for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse. (you will know if its working if it is hard to move your face
)
-Banana Face Mask (for dry skin) Take 1 RIPE banana and cut it up. Then using a fork, smoosh up the cut up banana until it is mushy and liquidy. Next, add about 1 tablespoon of honey and mix well. Then, apply oatmeal (optional) and apply to your face for about 20 minutes. (may look weird but it smells good)
I hope I helped and good luck
