How can one achieve great skin?

i don't really struggle much with major acne, but I do break out in pimples or zits that take forever to go away and I use proactive but the only thing I feel like makes it go away is popping it, but then I'm left with a scar. and I kind of have a tzone shinyness going on, who else has this problem and what do you do about it?
