Skin Care Products

I have permed African American hair.In the summer I like to wet my hair and leave my hair with a curly, wet look when it comes to going to the pool, beach, water parks, etc. However, I can’t seem to make a curl stay. My hair becomes poofy and stiff and just looks horrible. What products work best with my situation, and what do you think is the best procedure to make my hair curl and stay?

i am 24 years old. i am quite shy sometimes when facing people. i am not that prone to pimples ever since i entered college way back in 2001.
but there are scars already. i cant put on a face powder or foundation. do concealer can do the works? the scars are deep.
its so expensive to go to the derma.
and sometimes going to the derma, is not enough. they would check what’s the best treatment. there are many sessions.
and when you stop the treatment, there are probable side effects. so what is the best regimen that i can do with my scars. what are the best over-the-counter skin care products for scarred skin(mild ones) and the best way to conceal them and with othe other breakouts especially when going out, so i would not feel shy when i socialize with people and still feel confident. please help. i need all of your advices.
thank you..

I don’t have severe acne but I have enough to look really bad. I would prefer to only go to the doctor as a last resort, and proactive did nothing for me. I would like it gone quickly (wouldn’t everyone? haha) but mostly I just want it gone. Any suggestions?

I have oily skin but when I use “acne” products like Clean & Clear or Neutrogena, it makes my skin very dry & flaky (especially in winter!!) Do you know of a skin care product that will get rid of the oiliness but not leave it so dry? I have seen the ads for ProActive but it is rather pricey. If you tried this did it work for you?
