    Consider whether your diet might be affecting your skin. Diets rich in fats and oils typically lead to an oily, often pimple-ridden complexion.

    Is it better to have oily skin or dry skin? Why?

    It's good to have a mix. This is because oily skin clogs pores, and dry skin makes you age faster. Just wash your face and moisturize every day and you should hopefully be fine.

    I would recommend the Neutrogena Visibly Clear range, especially their oil-free moisturizer. It minimizes the chance of spots and mattifies the skin.

    Visit a dermatologist; medication may be necessary. You can also try a clay mask to draw out some of the impurities and bring blood flow to the area.

    No, natural ingredients rarely have negative impact. However, frequent use of concentrated lemon juice can cause hyper-pigmentation. Make sure you dilute the juice. You can also try potato juice and green tea blend.

    My face is very oily and my nose is filled with blackheads and pimples. My parents don’t allow me to wear face masks. What can I do?
    Community Answer

    First of all, make sure you are using skincare. Start with just a cleanser and moisturizer, surely your parents will allow that. Secondly, these skin deformities should eventually leave; it may takes months or even years. If you are self conscious of your nose, use concealer on your nose and remove at the end of the day with your cleanser. And as for your parents' hate towards face masks, just know that there's no harm really done if you go to a friend's or cool aunt's and use a face mask there! C'mon, be a rebel!
