Are you still using Nivea? Because that is really bad since it has mineral oil in it. And mineral oil is the first thing that makes some people break out. I had the exact same issues as you and I switched to Olay’s active hydrating cream. It’s a mini pink jar with a black lid. It’s not oily and absorbs really well. It’s summer and you’re going to have oily skin. If you use an oily moisturizer, that will cause breakouts. Check the ingredients list of everything that you put on your face, and make sure it doesn’t have mineral oil and paraben (also bad for many.) These two were terrible for my skin and yours sounds a lot like mine.

Also, I know it’s tempting but if you really want to work on your skin, you will have to resist those oily pakoras, spring rolls, patties, etc. Greasy foods don’t directly cause acne but they intensify it. And if the temptation is really bad, try baking samosas, and spring rolls. Yes it won’t be the same but it’s better than frying. Stay away from chocolate, and coffee as well. Again, this stuff doesn’t directly cause acne but it has been known to intensify it for many. Sometimes, it’s the little things that cause the biggest breakouts so cut out anything that can potentially ruin your skin and you should see a difference.

Good luck!

i have stopped using nivea 2 months ago and switched to Clinique Anti Blemish system.
over a week ago i sarted using Fade Out cream.

im trying to avoid the pakoras now..and havent had a coffee during the whole ramzan.Had smoothies instead. i hope to carry on this smoothies routine for breakfast.

Are facials good for an acne prone skin? Many people old me to have a facial after every 3 weeks but some people say it is bad for the acne prone skin. I have done 2 so far but i go for the very basic one.
