1. Dry skin? Try putting some lip balm on it. It does just like it does with the lips; smooths and brings down flakey-ness.Try doing it at least once a day, the dryness will go down within 5.
2. Oily skin? Get some blotting papers. Oil blotting papers will get rid of most of the oil on your face, while making sure not to smudge your makeup.Use a simple once-a-day cleanser to make the oil-producing glands on your face suppress themselves a bit, holding back oil. Oil attracts bacteria which can get into pores, causing infection and therefore whiteheads and acne.
3. Stop acne! Wash your hands often and try not to touch your face, thus reducing oil on your face. Eating a diet with little amounts of fatty and bad oils can also help, and overall foods suppressing your metabolism won't help.

4.Make a mask! Apply these to your face after steaming (holding your head over a bowl with hot water and draping a towel over your head) and apply them thoroughly. Take them off after 10-15 minutes.
