Posted on Mon, 16 Mar 2015

Question: Hi,
I have combination skin. My skin looks very dull. I have pimples all over the face but recently I have been using tea tree oil with glycerin. I am planning on taking Vitamin C-1000mg everyday to improve my complexion. I include fresh veggies and fruits in my diet but I still have dull skin. So what do I do to get glowing, pimple free skin?
