So I have REALLY bad oily, dry skin. But I also have black heads. Any products to use that will get rid of any of these problems??

What's your skincare routine and what products are you using?

Make sure to always wash your face with a face cloth.

Also I would recommend the less products you use the better! Clean your pillow cases every couple days, use a face cloth to wash your face with just water don't use soap, and maybe get MARY Kay the time wise is helps protect your face throughout the day and night and their pore refiner is amazing

Hello Kota! Here is a photo of an amazing blackhead product that I use every other day. It is from Murad and it's good for any type of skin. If you use it every night your black heads should go away quicker than any "home remedies" you may find online.

You can find Murad products at any Sephora and some Ultas:)

Oof! Oily on top and dry beneath is definitely the hardest skin type to find the right routine for. A lot of products "for oily skin" will make you more oily by exacerbating the dryness and encouraging that oil production. I suggest introducing acids/chemical exfoliation into your routine. Makes a HUGE difference by encouraging cell turnover, unclogging pores and helping the dryness as well. While I don't love the fact that she sold out, I do suggest Paula's Choice for her skincare. She's reasonable and good for maintenance. You need a basic face wash, non-drying toner with some acid, good basic moisturizer (doesn't have to be oil free) maybe even a facial oil, and some acid exfoliating pads for a few times/week.

As for the blackheads- I highly recommend looking up the term "sebaceous filaments" on Google to see if those are what you have or if you do have true embedded and large blackheads. The two are v. different and need different. products 👍

Every other night I use the glam glow super clearing mud and it's worked wonders for my skin. I have dry skin due to using topical prescription acne medications which dries my skin out bad. I've come to love a couple of different moisturizing treatments one is Belif Aqua bomb moisturizer which doesn't leave an oily residue on skin and soaks right in, at night I use either NUDE repair oil or the BareMinerals skinlongetivity and these help keep my skin soft and moisturizers. As far as blackheads go again the glam glow super mud and and Neutrogena blackhead eliminating face scrub. Be sure you're using foundations and primers fit for your skin, Mineral Veil by Hourglass is a little pricey but is oil free and works amazing for keeping your foundation on, for a setting spray Urban Decay De-slick and as far as foundations go CoverFX drops work wonders
