Good Skin Care Routine (FACE)?

What is a good skin care to use for my face?

• I used to have pretty bad acne but now I just get a few pimples every now and then. Now my skin just looks irritated like red and blotchy and it still gets pretty oily. The blotchiness isn't too noticeable but I just don't have nice pretty skin. Are there any skin care products that have worked for you? I'm looking for over the counter stuff that's more on the cheaper side. Thank you so much!

  There are several products I love from Serious Skin Care. This line is primarily sold through HSN. I have oily, acne prone skin and really struggle with blackheads. This line got my skin straightened out completely. -Serious Skin Care Glycolic Cleanser. This is hands down the best cleanser I have ever used. It gets your skin completely clean, even removes makeup (including mascara and eyeliner)nwithout overstripping the skin and maing it dry and tight. It leaves your skin at the proper pH so no toner is needed afterwards. The instructions on this say to use it on dry skin. I found that to be too drying for me, so I dampen my face and then use it. -Serious Skin Care Dry-Lo. This is a treatment for zits and blackheads. It comes in a bottle and is basically two layers--salicylic acid and sulfur. The sulfur is on the bottom and the clear liquid on top is the salicylic acid. DON'T SHAKE IT! You can use this in two ways. 1) as a mask for areas that are prone to blackheads and breakouts. You take a q-tip and dip it into both layers of product and then smooth it over the entire area. 2) as a zit killer. If you can feel a zit coming up(the truly acne-prone know what I mean) take a q-tip, dip it into the product and apply it to the zit. It will knock it down overnight. I am never, ever without this product. -Serious Skin Care Triple Glycolic Mask (it may now be called the Glycoic 3 mask). This is excellent!! I'll warn you though, it burns a bit when you first apply it. But it will control oil on your face for DAYS and give a deep pore cleaning. For moisturizers, go to the Olay Regenerist line. These products give a lot of moisture without any oils. Another tip: oily, breakout prone skins love serums. All the benefits and none of the oil or pore-blocking ingredients. Just make sure they on't contain alcohol, as alcohol will make your skin produce more oil.
