Have you ever thought, "I've got blackheads!" or "I want to get rid of my pimples!"? Ever wondered why "that girl" has got such flawless skin, and you don't? Don't envy her. Here are the secrets to flawless skin!

First, determine your skin type. Is it oily, dry, flaky, sensitive or combination of either?

Invest in a cleanser, toner, moisturizer and facial scrub suited to your skin type. You might have to test out a couple of brands before you find the perfect one. Talk to an associate at a make up counter or stand alone make up store. You will be able to test different formulas. They may even offer samples so you can try a product out for a day or two.

If you have a bad case of acne or any other skin problem, consider going to see a dermatologist. They will give you the treatment you need.

Buy an SPF 15+ sunscreen for daily use. Try for a facial sunscreen with no fragrance or oil.

Use your face wash every day. You will not see a difference if you only use it once a week. Use your scrub only every few days as to avoid scrubbing off too much skin.

Wash off your makeup. Before going to bed remember to take off any makeup you put on. Washing your face may do the trick, but some makeup may require makeup remover.

Eat properly. A great menu is a balanced menu. Remember the food pyramid? Eat fruits and vegetables. They say eat 2 servings of fruit and 5 servings of vegetables. Avoid foods with caffeine, greasy foods and red meat.

Drink plenty of water. Try to drink 8 glasses every day! Avoid sugary soft drinks, caffeine and coffee. Green tea is good.

Exercise. It will help metabolize and help detoxify. A walk with your dog or some yoga lessons do make a difference! Plus if you are stressed out, it will de-stress you.
