To "curly gurl": Depending on the degree of over-production of oil on your skin you could use products for oily skin or combination skin. The "t-zone" consists of your forehead, nose and chin- not your cheeks. You should definitely add a mask to your regimen- try 2x a week and make sure it's clay-based. Also, you need to be consistent with using your moisturizer! If you allow your skin to become too dry or dehydrated, your will produce even more oil to compensate for the lack of moisture.

Finally, if you can afford them, I'd suggest facials! Your skin will love you for it! :)

If I have combination skin (oily/normal I think) do I still use products for oily skin and onlyin my t-zone? Does the skin on my cheeks count? I am so green when it comes to these things. I've always been a facial cleaner, exfoliate 1-2x per week and inconsistent moisturizer type of person. :0(

To "curly gurl": The one thing I recommend most is implementing a skincare regimen and being CONSISTENT with it! Based on what you've told me- you tend to have oilier skin which means your pores are filled w/ oil, dirt, debris, etc. I would make sure to exfoliate a few times a week, use a water based moisturizer, a clay mask and sunscreen! Make sure you cleanse your skin both in the morning and before bed. If you have sensitive skin, you definitely are NOT a candidate for microdermabrasion! Make sure you purchase products for your skin type--> "oily skin".

Do you have any other questions?

I am really fighting the fight against enlarged pores. My mom has them so I believe I may be prone. As I've gotten older I've noticed that the skin on my cheeks beside my nose seems to be developing this large pore thing. But, I have sensitive skin, so I think that prohibits me from being a good microdermabrasion candidate. I want to see results though, with any product I try. Can you recommend something and also let me know what kind of realistic picture I should have in terms of how long it will take to see results? I know, I have MAD issues!
