Bad facial skin - need help?

I'm a 25 years old dude. When I was young, I had beautiful facial skin - no visible pores, no blackheads and no whiteheads. Everyone called me a beautiful boy back then. As I grow older, pores on my face/nose have become more visible, and I get white and blackheads. I have oily skin type. My face gets filled with oil easily, and I don't know why. What can I do to get rid of them and get my beautiful face back? I do whatever it takes! I just bought a neutrogena scrub - will it help? Also, why scrub has the sand alike stuff in it? Also, at work, what should I do to clean the oil off my face? I don't want to wash my face with those facial products in the men's bathroom cuz it makes me look gay.

Bad facial skin - need help?
You say you have a scrub. Use that 2 times a week. Also, go buy some Neutrogena face soap(the orange bar). Wash with that 2 times each day, morning and night. If you have long hair, keep it off your face, especially while you sleep. Find a moisturizer made for oily skin, and use that after washing. There's also those toner things that work well.





With the Neutrogena bar, you can use that anywhere, it just looks like a bar of soap. Or, there's those little Biore wipes you can get, they just look like a baby wipe.
Reply:PRO ACTIVE works.
Reply:go to a dermatologist, they will match a good cleanser for yor skin, and remove your blackheads
Reply:USE PROACTIVE..and do it at home if u don't want to look gay.

Reply:Noxema Triple Clean Antibacterial Lathering Cleanser works wonders. If you don't want to wash the oil off your face during the day, Clean and Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets work well....especially to use throughout the day.
Reply:ok, the scrub is a good start. The "sand" will help buff off the top layer of skin, which will help get rid of black and white heads. If your skin is oily, is probably because you dont use a moisturizer. You can go to macys, or bath and body works, and get skin care products there for men. Lab Series is good one. They have a whole line that can make your skin pretty again :)
Reply:as for why the scrubs are the way that they are will all the beads in it, it is because the little beads which feel like sand actually are used to exfoliate your skin, giving you a healthy glow. just because you wash and takecare of your face does not mean that you are gay! look for masks, a 3 step system that will contain a lotion to minimize the appearance of pores and so forth.good luck!look some stuff up on the web at ulta.com or sephora.com since the stores are not for girls anymore.
Reply:You should get a facial once a month to help with the blackheads. Lots of men get them. You can even find spas that are only for men. They gently remove all the blackheads.





Or, use the Biore Perfect Pore strips. They work for men and women.





For work, you can get facial wash that comes in thin strips that dissolve in your hand with a bit of water. The whole pack fits in your pocket, and you use one thin strip each time you wash, so no one has to see a big bottle or anything. I'm pretty sure Clean and Clear makes some. Ask at Target or Wal-Mart.





Finally, use a moisturizer that has salycilic acid in it. It works to keep oil away and fights blemishes. I use the Clean and Clear Dual Action moisturizer. It's light and smooth and makes a huge difference. My roommates (both guys) also use it.
Reply:My husband has the same problem.





Using an exfoliating scrub like you got should help.





Also, a weekly mud mask can reduce clogs. I like the one made by St. Ives, it works and is cheap. When you first start to use it, you may want to try every three days or so, because you will pull all kinds of junk to the surface, and may have a break out.





Both of these are best done after a hot shower, to open the pores and give you clean skin to work with.
Reply:your skin is going threw puberty still...when you were young everyones skin was already going threw this aand ended along ago.

Sleep on a clean pillow case every few days, you can put tea tree oil on it at night, use the mint julep mask t wice a week. That really helps. Also make sure you exfoliate twice a week to get rid of dead skin cells. Make sure your clenser has acne medicine and most importantly drink plenty of water. That will help the most. I used to have problem skin, but now it is smooth and clear. I also put baking soda mixed with water on my face nad take a shower. it helps to exfoliate. That is what makes it baby soft. Good luck. What works for one person might not work for others. Using witch hazel as an astrigent also helps some people. I know the baking soda will get your skin noticably smooth right after you do it.
