I don't really get many actual pimples, but I do get a lot of tiny bumps from clogged pores. Are there any face washes or masks that aren't too expensive that might help fix this issue?

You need a really good skincare routine. You need to have your skin assessed to find out if your oily combination or just really really dry. Then you'll know what type of cleanser and moisturizer to use. You should be asked foliating 2 to 3 times a week. This should be done either with a chemical or nonchemical. Basically meaning a scrub or an enzyme. Masks can be used on days that you're not exfoliating so that your skin doesn't get irritated.

Pore strips (biore has really good ones for your nose & face) and get a really good cleanser/ astringent

The tiny bumps usually mean you have systic acne (pimples with no heads whitch means the fluid is farther in your skin then a normal pimple) i know weird right? Ask your dermatoligist about it before you try anythin on it!

You can try an egg white facial and then use the yolk as a moisturizer.. Or you can use the baking soda scrub.

I agree with Mary, when I take off all of my makeup and thoroughly wash my face, followed by eye firming cream and moisturizer, my skin looks way better. than when I breeze through it.

Strange as it is buy a tooth brush from the dollar store and when you are washing your face just take it and rub in circular motions on the area is similar to the way the clairsonic works

for blackhead on your tzone: warm your skin with hot face towel let them sit on your face for 2-3min, take a tissue and start wraping it on your both index finger and start pressing the blackheads. make sure you wash your hand first! after you clean all the blackheads put a cold face towel to minimalize your pores.

Use a washcloth.. Washcloths are key to getting rid of clogged pores. Also a great exfoliation wash. I have my own Skincare and makeup line called Ger'don. I would recommend my cucumber scrub! It's a mild, paraben-free scrub that removes dead surface skin and dulling impurities. Jojoba beads exfoliate without irritation while gently softening without irritation while gently softening the skin. Chamomile Extract and Cucumber Extract and Cucumber Extract cool, soothe, and refresh- the skin for a smooth, clear completion. :)

The tiny bumps are NOT cystic acne as previously mentioned. They are closed comedones which is a mild form of acne but can be really annoying and stubborn. The ONLY thing that has work for me in getting rid of closed comedones is Differin. It's a topical, prescription medication and after 2 months of using it almost all of my closed comedones had gone (and I had a lot). I've read that it's done the same for many other people as well. Here in the UK we get it really cheap because of the NHS but if you are in the US I don't know how much it would cost. I've heard as little as $10 to as much as $300! If you have insurance that should help though. Go see a dermatologist.
