How To Achive Flawless And Glowing Skin?
Question: I am going to get married in January so I want my face and skin to look clean and nice.
For this I regularly wash my face twice a day 2 3 mins massaging to remove all dirt.
Also I apply toner after washing face. My skin is very dry so I usually apply moisturizer/Glycerin at night while sleeping but when I get up, I usually see white heads in nose line area and where ever the face is oily.
Also I apply only sunscreen moisturizer while going to office but problem is - As much I am caring(I cover my face to protect my face from dust), I am getting pimples on my face.
I never had pimple problem since last 2 3 years but now when i take care i am getting and that too when the wedding day is near.
can you please guide/suggest me about m daily skin care routine or Am i doing something wrong.
also can you please prescribe me some medication to reduce these pimples as much as possible.
I am taking care of skin and face to look more good but my efforts are giving negative results.
Please help.

Brief Answer:
Care of acne prone skin
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
I have seen the attached picture.
You seem to have both active acne lesions as well as few post acne scars .
Such a case needs to be managed by a proper skin care regimen along with few topical drugs .
I would suggest that you should start application of retino ac cream at night to the acne lesions and the scars.It does cause some skin redness and peeling ,but that is the way it acts .
Apply minimal cream ,only over the affected area .Put a moisturiser all over the face before applying retino. This also helps in reducing irritation .
According to me ,for best results you should see a nearby dermatologist and take regular sittings of chemical peels .
This will help in reducing the scars and eventually even out the face .
Do not apply any other cream or oil over the affected areas.
Use a medicated sunscreen with spf more than 26 regularly before going out in the sun .Apply it atleast thirty minutes before going out and re apply every three hourly .
This will prevent any sun induced further darkening of the scars .
You can use a non oily moisturiser regularly .
Hope it helps
