@Sofia192 Do you use waterproof mascara (and eyeliner if you use it)? If you don’t maybe try that, the essence lash princess one is pretty good in my opinion (the blue and black bottle is the waterproof one). And a waterproof eyeliner (if you use eyeliner) that i like is the L’Oreal infallible grip gel mechanical liner. Maybe try a different setting spray. The MILK MAKEUP Mini Pore Eclipse Mattifying + Blurring Transfer-Proof Setting Spray 1.3 oz / 40 ml (this is the smaller size in case you just wanted to test it out) and the Elf setting spray in the green bottle is pretty good as well.Spraying the setting spray first and then lightly setting your face with pressed powder is supposed to help your look last longer vs using setting spray after powder, so try that! Also, you could look into keeping blotting papers in your bag to soak up oil throughout the day. Palladio’s Rice Paper Facial Tissues are made of rice paper and are lightly powdered; they’re really good, you can get them on amazon and they’re pretty affordable.

@mama003 Does your face get sweaty while you work? Sweat is sometimes a party zone for acne-causing bacteria that invade your pores. During work, wipe your face periodically with a towel if you can. ASAP after work, wash your face with a gentle cleanser (consider a non-lathering cream cleanser like e.l.f. Pure Skin Cleanser or CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser) and apply a moisturizer while your skin’s damp, and/or sunscreen if the sun’s up after work. You could do this over a sink at work before you leave. If you don’t have time or energy for cleanser, then at least wipe your face with micellar water after work and follow with moisturizer and/or sunscreen. Does your Clean and Clear cleanser, or anything else in your skincare routine, contain 2% salicylic acid?

Using the Ordinary glycolic acid on affected areas has helped me, typically after a shower! Another helpful tip is making sure that when you're showering, you wash your back/body after you've rinsed the conditioner out of your hair. Hair conditioner can clog pores and cause acne to different areas like your back, if not washed off with soap.Another option is using the first aid beauty ingrown hair pads, the exfoliating products help. Don't use the ordinary product and this at the same time though, and irregardless of which you use, don't start off using them every day as you might irritate your skin.Something else I have heard, but never tried, was using African black soap (bar soap) to help with fighting acne in different areas, including the face, so that might be worth looking into!
