Skin care products: Try to use skin care products for combination skin types or for normal skin. When selecting moisturizers, stay away from products that contain mineral oil, petrolatum, and even shea. These ingredients are comedogenic (plug your pores) and may encourage blackhead formation. I recommend the skin clear wash and the apple phloretin hydrator from cosmo grade professional skincare.
