Need serious help with clearing up my face!?

Sounds like you need some exfoliation if your skin is continuously flaking. Dead skin and oil will clog your pores over time and cause blackheads. My lifesaver has been the Clarisonic. Yes it's very expensive but totally worth it. Get the one with the sensitive brush. As a person who has dealt with acne most of her life I completely understand your problem. The dermatologist gave me so much prescription stuff that didn't work so I gave up on her useless advice. Find a cleanser that is gentle but effective. Use a spot treatment where necessary. Some people have sensitivities to either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide or both. Experiment to see what works for you. As far as foundation and concealer goes, that may be the biggest part of your problem. It doesn't matter if something is labeled as non-comedogenic. The fact is that you are putting something that contains chemicals and pigments on top of your skin and it WILL sink into your pores and clog them up no matter what. This goes for mineral makeup as well. Try going for a week without foundation and concealer, as scary as it may seem. You'll probably notice an instant difference in your skin. If you do need to wear it for a special occasion make sure you wash it off as soon as you get home. Good luck!
