I wash my face with an oxygen rich cleanser every second day and just splash water the rest of the time. I have quite oily skin, although this irritatingly fluctuated and I get v dry skin at times too! I went on the pill especially for my skin but that didn't do what I had hoped. I still get spots so often. I don't eat butter or salt and I'm quite controlled with my snack foods, I don't eat too much chocolate basically! :D What do you think could be causing it? Im 20 now so I thought the teenage thing was in the past! And its not bad enough to be acne by far, but too often to ignore!x

Seems to me you might have combination skin where some parts are dry whilst others are oily?
For spots you might want to use an aspirin mask. I know it sounds crazy! You get 4 uncoated pills, dissolve it in a little water and apply to the skin. Leave on for 15-30 minutes then rinse off. This mask has helped me combat some of my pimples.
Another thing you might want to try is baking soda where you use it as a facial scrub.
And try using an oil free moisturiser.
Also, Clinique have a great range for acne called Acne Solutions. You might want to try that out as it's quite gentle yet effective. ;)
