Iwas wondering what would be a good like nightly routine before I go to bed to wash my face and what products I should use? Like should I do an oil mask, the acne pads, then mositurizure (whoa spelling). That's just an example though. Thanks :)

Cleansing/toning can often be done using one product nowadays. Use a gentle make-up remover, cleansing wipes or face wash to remove make-up (if you wear it) or to just cleanse and remove the oil/grime on your skin if you don't. If you have sensitive skin, I suggest you use a specialised product. Most major brands now do versions of their products for sensitive skin. In some cases, skin can be too sensitive for even these products, in which case it is safest to use warm water and gentle soap.
Gently pat dry your skin, never rub as this can cause irritation and reddening. When your skin is dry, apply any specialist products you use (such as black head gel). If you are using a face mask (which should not be done more than two or three times a week), it should also be applied now. Try not to overload on the product, it will do more harm than good.
Apply a moisturiser. There are several different types on the market, depending on your skin type. As with cleansers/toners, there are types specially designed for sensitive skin. There are also oil free types for oily/greasy skin which is often prone to spots. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
