Sounds crazy, but make sure you moisturize well. Since you have oily skin, removing and removing oils causes your body to produce more. Giving your face a reason to not produce more oil definitely makes a difference :) I also make sure to wash my face every night to unclog all the days mess

Don't try to cover it up with makeup that just makes the problem worse

Don't cake on makeup!! it makes it worse and put 100% natural lemon juice on pimples before bed. it burns like the Dickens but itis worth it. (:

for oily skin : Oil Of Olay products are great. I have used the white bar for my face and body for years and I never get breakouts

Its hard to really say considering I don't know what kind of acne you have. Maybe just using a gentle cleanser 3 times a day to keep oil away, without overdrying your skin.

Stop eating dairy. You'll have better skin. And drink lots of water

Wash your hands, sounds dumb. But i'm a skin picker when i get breakouts, I can't help it. and you certainly won't help it any if youre adding dirt and oils and other things you picked up if you do the same. If not, disregard this message hahaha

Hilary! I have avoided most dairy up until recently and I think its caused me to break out. My dermatologist told me a long time ago something about dairy maybe aggravating/causing acne and I was wondering what information you could share? i am really curious.
