Shaving doesn't exfoliate your whole face and is not a substitute for washing your face. As long as you are using an exfoliate that has fine enough beads that won't cause skin abrasions (be gentle & don't use St.Ives) you should be exfoliating every other day.
>>10282004
What this anon said is relevant as well.

Outside of that, my advice to you guys is if you can afford a trip to a good dermatologist it's worth it. Get your skin mapped out and treat it accordingly. Don't be afraid of spending good money on skincare, your face is the most important part of all your fits bc if you're greasy and pimply no one cares how well you're dressing.

The beaded exfoliating washes can be pretty bad in that some use plastic beads that just wash into water systems. It can also be tempting to rub yourself raw in an effort to get that nice scrubbing feeling.

Neither do those 'black masks' that essentially work the same way(hardening and turning into something like a mild-tape)

I tried using black head extractors(like a over-sized sewing needle, with the loop that you press against your skin)
It looks okay a few hours later, but it also increases how much oil and crap my skin excreetes... So after the redness and swelling goes down, it looks okay, but the black heads come back just as bad as before a few days later.

They'll never go away exactly, but if you're persistent they will never show up unless you ditch your skincare routine entirely. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

I know it's a lot of effort, but it works for me OP. Hope I helped.

That kind of works but the effect only lasts as long as your face is colder from the contact with cold water. Afterwards it just goes back to normal.

I would advise to exfoliate regularly, once or twice a week. You don't need to buy a peeling gel or product, you can make one yourself for close to nothing : one teaspoon olive oil, one teaspoon honey, one teaspoon baking soda, stir and scrub your face damp face with, very gently.

When you're done with the whole face, rinse it off with water and wash your face using a facial soap of some kind (mainly to remove the oil), then apply a moisturizing cream. Makes your skin smooth as fuck.

Okay apparently baking soda isn't the best thing to put on your face. The scrub really does work wonders but it's not good for the skin on the longer term because of the pH that baking soda has and the pH your skin is supposed to have.

So just disregard that, it does work but you should probably look for another solution.

Are you a dermatologist? No? Then no, you really don't need to do proper research to figure out that you have all this horrible puss sticking out of your nose. No one is grading you on anything other than appearance and these things will do what OP needs. I don't take care of my skin at all apart from having my girlfriend put one of these on my face(against my will) once in a while.
