What's your current skin care routine?

I wash my skin twice daily with an organic cleanser I usually use apple cider vinegar as a toner. I moisturizer with Mary Kay botanical effects. Sometimes coconut oil. I also use a green tea facial scrub once a week.

Apple cider vinegar can be too harsh for some people's skin. If it strips too much oil your skin will go into overdrive and produce even more oil (and bigger pores to release the extra oil). I'd try cutting back on that and see if it improves.

I agree with Jack try a tea tree toner and the coconut oil might be braking you out aswell, try a jojoba oil or argan oil.

Coconut oil tends to clog pores and causes you to break out, I would definetly stop using coconut oil and the apple cider vinegar which is very acidic to use on skin for everyday use.

Coconut oil tends to clog pores, I recommend using the origins clear improvements charcoal mask to remove blackheads & shrink pores :-)
