How to get healthy, glowing skin

Being a teenager, I often find myself faced with the issue of my skin. I think I speak for many girls as I say that there is nothing worse than waking up one morning and finding a massive pimple on your face. Recently though I've been seeing a massive improvement in my skin and I just wanted to share with you guys the things that have helped me. 
(DISCLAIMER: I'm not a dermatologist, these are things that I have seen that have worked for me and that I hope might help you too). 

1. Find yourself a good cleanser, toner and moisturiser.
These will become the essence of your skin care routine. Lately I have been adoring Formula 10.0.6's One Smooth Operator Pore Cleanser Face Scrub. To be honest, when I first bought it I didn't have much faith but when I used it I was amazed. It left my skin so smooth and soft and it has been keeping my skin just free from build up or blackheads.
I also use the toner from Formula 10.0.6 as well as their Picture Perfect Day moisturiser. I didn't actually use moisturiser before but I've realised how vital it really is to your skin. Like me, a lot of people think that if you use a moisturiser you'll just go really oily and break out. It's actually quite the opposite. If you don't give your skin the moisture it needs then it'll just go nuts overcompensating and you'll most likely break out. Although I do recommend these products, everyone's skin is different so have a look around, try different ones and see what works best for your skin type. 

2. Remember to remove your makeup.
A lot of girls don't realise that they have to take all of their makeup off before going to bed. I understand that sometimes you're just lazy and you can't be bothered with it but it is really bad for your skin if you leave it on. Invest in a good makeup remover and make sure your face is nice and clean before bed. 

3. DON'T TOUCH YOUR FACE. 
This one I hard. I know it's hard to resist but touching your face is only going to make it worse. You use your hands for everything and they are rarely 100% clean. The more you touch your face the more you spread the bacteria on to your face worsening the condition of your skin. 

4. Try to be as oil-free as possible. 
I have very oily skin so I struggle with this especially since I wear makeup almost every day. You really need to try and avoid the oil simply because that oil is what clogs your pores and is what causes you to get pimples. Besides, no one likes a shiny face right? Recently I've started using oil dabbing tissue and I think it's quite a good investment. It's a small pack so you can carry it in your purse and I think I paid around $6 for a pack of 50. These are good if you're wearing makeup and you can feel your skin getting oily. They won't disturb your makeup and they'll leave your face shine free. However, don't go crazy with this. Your face still needs a small amount of oil, just not excessively.

Well guys, those are my tips for getting better skin. I hope you guys enjoyed it. If you guys have any questions or if you have any suggestions don't hesitate to email me at @gabrielam550@gmail.com of leave a comment.
