i certainly don't have a skin care routine, but my nose and face can get oily especially in the summer. bentonite clay mixed with just enough apple cider vinegar to make a mud can be applied to your face and does wonders. I leave it on for at least 20 mins, but sometimes 40 or more. when you pull it off just don't put the hardened clay into the drain. i peel most off into the trash can then wash the remainder. really no point here, just thought I'd share.
