Is this skin cleansing routine healthy or does it need some work?

Every morning I wash with Olay foaming face wash for sensitive skin; then exfoliates with Olay smooth skin cream scrub.





After I get out of the shower I splash my face with cold water to close up the pores.





Then after that I put on Olay Complete for sensitive skin (we're starting to see a pattern here...) before putting on my makeup. I don't wear foundation but the only thing I wear on the face area is very light rouge and of course, eyeshadow around the skin of the eye.





Then before I go to bed I clean off my makeup with Olay mascara and makeup remover. I also sleep on a satin pillow case which I think needs to be tossed sometime soon.





I am female, twenty-three and knowing that health is one of the factors for skin care, I eat healthy as much as possible I just wish that exercise was a more vigorous endeavor. But otherwise the blackheads that clog my pores on my nose will not leave no matter how much I clean it.





I may have sort have answered some parts of my question but I guess I am asking for a second opinion.





Thank you!Is this skin cleansing routine healthy or does it need some work?
Blackheads are caused by the oil in your pores becoming oxidized. I would either use a anti-pore cream or use the Olay smooth skin cream scrub before going to bed because you're letting the oils that have accumulated on your face throughout the day stay there overnight.





You may also want to switch your daily lotion to see if that helps.





I would try changing one thing at a time to figure out exactly what is giving you the blackheads so you can change the one thing not your entire routing.
