Daily skin care regimen?

I am 27 years old and am looking for advice for a daily skin care


I have what i guess you would call oily skin even though most days it seems normal to me and my skin is highly sensitive to different products when i go to the stores i just get confused looking at all the different products and i have no idea what i need


any suggestions
Daily skin care regimen?
~DAILY/WEEKLY SKINCARE~


-You will need: Cleanser, Toner (or Astringent), Cotton Balls, Moisturizer, Mask (or Masque), Extractor (found at most beauty supply stores), and either a facial steamer or hand towel for steaming.





-Morning and night (before going to bed): cleanse, tone, and moisturize. If you have clogged pores, whiteheads and blackheads, then 2-3 times a week include steaming (in this order: cleanse, tone, steam, tone, moisturize).





-Once a week: cleanse, tone, steam, exfoliate, tone, *extractions, tone, mask, tone, moisturize. *IF NEEDED, for blackheads, pimples, etc, Don't begin doing extractions until you have been following all of the other steps for at least 2 to 3 weeks, so that the steaming will have caused any tough blemishes to begin to soften.





-How to: *


Cleanse -use a small amount and lather with water, apply using circular motions all over face and neck, repeat if you have makeup on


Tone - Squeeze a small amount onto the cottonball and wipe all over face and neck


Steam - for 10-15 minutes, using one of these methods: facial steamer, hold your face 3-5 inches above steaming water, or drape a hot towel over your face (leaving your nostrils and/or mouth exposed)


Exfoliate - follow the same steps as in cleansing, but don't repeat


Extractions - place the hoop (or eye) over the blemish (or blackhead) so that the blemish is in the center of the hoop, apply slight pressure and use rocking and rolling movements all around the blemish (don't use so much pressure that you create indentions or bruises on your skin), if and when the blockage comes out of the pore, wipe away with a cottonball that has been dampened with toner


Mask - apply mask evenly on face and neck, leave for 10-15 minutes, remove by draping a hot towel over your face, then wiping away - if it begins to sting or burn intensely before 10-15 minutes has passed remove and consider using a milder mask


Moisturize - apply a small amount on face an neck and massage until it's absorbed


*In all of these steps, always avoid the eye area.

Vitamins, Minerals, Diet, %26amp; Exercise


Each day, take a multivitamin, drink plenty of water, and try to maintain a fairly healthy diet and exercise routine.

If you take any of these in addition to your daily multivitamin, be sure not to take more than the recommended dosage
Daily skin care regimen?
You know your skin type, so you are already ahead, work with that. Use products tailored to oily skin. Using other products can really mess up your skin.
