    Oily skin
    I have pretty oily skin (mostly on my forehead) and I used to have acne a couple years ago but now my fac is cleared up but I still tend to geet pimples on my face and occasionally I get some on my back and arms. It sucks. Is there any advice of something I can get to stop the oily skin and pimples and stuff. I can deal with them on my face but I hate getting them on my back and arms. Any help?

    I have combination skin. My t-zone is always shiny so I bought some skin mattyfying papers. You just press the paper over your shiny areas and it gets rid of the excess oil.
    For the acne you can try anti bacterial washes and exfoliaters. Don't use anything too harsh/drying on your skin, t can sometimes make your skin more oily and worsens the condition. Neutrogena is a good brand to try.
    Hope that helps. :)

    You can also use a cleanser designed for oily skin, then use a mild toner to remove the excess oil. This will balance your skin and prevent breakouts.
