Answer by Insomnia
Wash your face every morning and night and moisturise thoroughly afterwards. Exfoliation is good. If you have a fringe, keep it clean and off your face. Never touch your face (ever). Avoid oily foods (like fish and fast foods).

  1. This is what I finally found that worked: 
    Wash with African Black soap- I got mine from amazon, the one with shea butter in it.
    Toner- I use plain ole witch hazel. It’s cheap, natural and found in the pharmacy.
    Moisturizer- I use pure jojoba oil. Just a few drops. This replaces the skin oil you just washed away and tricks your skin into not making excessive oil. 
    Makeup- I use the Valley Girl foundation from L.A. Minerals. It soaks up oil, and has Allantoin to heal acne. I use a lot of their makeup cuz it’s natural and doesn’t irritate my skin.
    For my T zone, I use L.A. Minerals Oil Control powder. It soaks up oil for hours!

    Hope this helps.

  2. For your acne and blackheads I recommend this:

    Lemon Juice Applied Directly to Acne

    Lemon juice contains one of the AHAs or Alpha Hydroxy Acids which is citric acid. It works by sloughing off dead skin, promoting skin elasticity, and enabling new skin cell growth rise from underneath. It also flushes out pores and keeps your skin feeling fresh and bright.

    Lemon Juice Topical Recipe / Instructions

    1. Ensure your skin is clean.
    2. Squeeze 1 teaspoon of lemon juice into a small bowl. Use a cotton ball to soak up some juice. Dilute it with water if it burns.
    3. Dab the juice onto your pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples.
    4. Leave on over night and rinse in the morning. Apply it again (under your makeup if you’re female).
    5. If you find the lemon juice too strong too leave on, even diluted with water, wash it off after 10 minutes in cold water.

    Expect improvements with this remedy after about 2 weeks. At this time, add a gentle cleanser with glycolic acid, like B. Kamins cleanser for normal to oily skin combination.

    It is possible that your acne is only one symptom of your body not receiving enough nutrients, vitamins, minerals or liquids. Therefore, consider detoxifying your body, which gets to the root cause of many diseases, including acne.

    The e-book, Acne no More is an excellent read about the power of detoxifying your system, and learning how to care for your body the right way. I highly recommend it.

    Lemon Juice Drink for Acne

    You can use the lemon juice remedy for internal cleansing or detoxifying of the liver and for absorption of important minerals and vitamins. This drink is one of the healthiest juices for your skin and body that is refreshing, easy to drink, and simplest to make.

    In fact, it has so many health benefits aside from clearing acne, that everyone (who isn’t allergic) should be drinking it. This remedy’s benefits include:

    * eliminating acid waste because it contains minerals (potassium, Vitamin C),
    * alleviating constipation,
    * cleansing the liver with citric acid and building up enzymes to eliminate blood toxins,
    * aiding in digestion
    * removing kidney and pancreatic stones, and
    * removing calcium deposits in the body.

    Recipe for cleansing acne:

    Lemon Juice Remedy Variation #1:

    1. Squeeze 1 lemon into glass or bottle.
    2. Add 2 cups of water (8oz each).
    3. Drink the juice throughout the day.

    Lemon Juice Remedy Variation #2:

    1. Squeeze 1 lemon 1 cup (8oz) of warm filtered or boiled water.
    2. Drink it first thing in the morning.
    3. Don’t drink or eat for half an hour after to allow the juice to cleanse your body.

    Do not use this remedy if you have allergies, ulcers, or arthritis.

    For your oily skin I recommend:
    1. Use a gentle gel cleanser. A creamy face wash may leave a residue on your skin, prompting a greasy feel and oily look.

    2. Wash twice a day — no more. Too much washing can dry out your skin, causing it to produce even more oil.

    3. Tone carefully. Look for a toner without alcohol, which can cause skin to become dry. Instead, choose a toner with witch hazel or other soothing ingredients, and use after every wash.

    4. Don’t skip sunscreen. Many women with oily skin forego face lotion. But everyone, no matter what her skin type, needs sunscreen. Use a gel SPF formula.

    5. Avoid moisturizing makeup. Foundation for older skin is usually formulated to be moisturizing, which means it contains oils and humectants that your skin doesn’t need. Instead, choose an oil-free foundation.

    6. Use powder. A translucent powder applied after your foundation will help the base stay smudge-proof all day, and will help curb mid-day greasiness.

    7. Blot away shine. Use a blotting paper, made especially to absorb oil without ruining makeup, during the day when you need to squelch shine. Don’t cake on lots of powder, which can settle into fine lines and look heavy.

    8. Try a mask. A clay-based mask, used once or twice a week, cleanses pores (which often become blocked on women with oily skin).

    9. Go for powdered makeup. Eye shadow and blush in powder form will stay put on your oily skin longer than cream- or pencil-based products.

    10. Rule out any skin conditions. If you notice your skin becoming more oily, flaky, or breaking out more often, see your dermatologist. He or she may diagnose you with a mild skin condition such as rosacea or seborrhea, which are easily treatable with prescription topical medications.
