I've got a query, can people with oily skin and acne problems
use moisturisers? And how do i reduce the sizes of the pores?
I've had medium acne severity during my NS, no thanks to camou
cream and its high content of vegetable oil. While the acne problem
is pretty much reduced now, I do get the occasional zits and
clogged pores/comedones which are very annoying.
Anyway, something to share with you guys ^^
I heeded the advice given by a friend of mine who has really
clear skin. She swears by it and so I thought, no harm trying.
I experimented with making a facial mask using 3 parts baking
soda and 1 part water. Works like magic!! I've had fewer outbreaks
and the exfoilating nature of the baking soda actually reduces acne
scars, smooths out the skin.
Word of precaution though, not suitable for people with dry and
sensitive skin. Results vary with different people. Google it up,
from the feedbacks on the internet, seems pretty effective and
cheap too!
Permanent solution to pore size - laser OR acid peel. A few ppl
I know say that their pores become smaller, acne scars
reduced & they get much less acne outbreak too.
A good, cheaper & not-so-permanent solution-Loreal's pore
tightening & clarifying toner. Dries out imperfections,
tightens pores, & exfoliates your skin too 
. Cheaper
to buy at those discounted toiletry stores.
Nivea does offer water based moisturiser(nice &
refreshing!), but I'm not sure if it's found in the men's range.
Anyway, u can still use the main line (presumably for women
only).
Oh ya, & dont forget sunblock! With our tropical climate,
it's impt to protect the skin from UVA & UVB rays (which causes
photo-ageing amongst other things). No point cleaning &
exfoliating the skin only to present it to be fried!!
Good luck!
