Suggest Remedy For Skin Ailments
Hello! I am a 16 year old Asian female, and I have horrible skin...the most oily parts of my face are my forehead and nose, my cheeks are mildy oily- so much less oily than my forehead/nose. I get a lot of pimples, and most of them occur on my cheeks and near my mouth. Also, I get patches of dry, flaky skin near my mouth corners - but that RARELY happens. I really don t know what skin type i am - oily or vombination skin?? Thank you so much if you can answer my question! (:

Hi
According to your complaints you are having combination skin.
I would recommend you to use a salicylic acid facewash twice daily and apply adapelene 0.1 percent gel on the pimples at night.
