All my life I have had clear skin except maybe a zit on the nose occasionally that arrived around menstrual time. A couple of weeks ago, my skin has become oily and pimply. It doesn't feel like my face anymore. I use rubbing alcohol on the areas I'm breaking out and it helps. I have no idea why the change. I have had many compliments in my past on my perfect complection. I am no expert on zit-removing. What are some good ways to clear my face up? Any cheap products or home remedies that will do the trick? Thanks.

Tried everything and nothing worked. My normal skin is probably "combination skin" meaning it's not overly oily or overly dry. Anyways, I switched my lotion to something basic, (Olay moisturizing lotion for sensitive skin) which I use in the morning before I put on my makeup. In the evening after I wash my face, I started to use bio-oil for my lotion instead. Sounds scary, but i use just a dime size amount all over my face and neck. I feel like that's what did the trick. Not only did it help with the zits but it helped with the scarring as well. so I'd def recommend trying those products out.
