Drinking a mug of boiling water with a slice of lemon in it first thing every morning is a good (and cheap) way to flush toxins out of your system. For instant treatment, I always used Germolene - it's antiseptic to kill the infection and has a local anaesthetic to numb the pain or itching so you don't touch it and make it worse. Think a tube of it costs about 2 pound in the shops.

The only thing that ever worked for me was Lush's Fresh Farmacy soap and being *gentle* with my skin.
It is generally assumed that spots are caused by excess oil, but in some cases (like mine!) they are caused because the skin is very sensitive; harsh products used to try to get rid of spots will often cause slight inflammation, closing up the openings to pores and allowing the anaerobic bacteria inside to have a field day. If you just leave your skin alone as much as possible, and only use very gentle products on it when you must, it may well help.

If you're a teenager then it's quite normal and will eventually go away, but for now just drink lots of water and eat healthily (friut veg etc). Avoid beer, chocolate, fried foods etc... Crap in - crap out....
That commerical stuff might work a bit - but don't scrub... it might spread the infection. I'm sure when i tried those face cleansing pads and things like that it just made it far worse - it was nothing to do with cleanliness at all...
If you're older then it might not be just down to your hormone levels, then tell your doctor and he can prescribe antibiotics and topical solution that will help kill the bacteria that causes the spots. I was prescribed Zineryt and a tetracycline anitibiotic and its worked ok on my face.... but still not totally cleared up round my neck after a year. Just ask your doc....

a super form of the thank you to help your epidermis - yet no longer all of them are perfect for each guy or woman! it would help to be attentive to how previous you're for a initiate! regardless of if the spots are throughout or clustered in a particular place! some issues however - avert oily/greasy foodstuff - this consistently makes epidermis spotty regardless of while you're companies to it or no longer! Cleanse a minimum of as quickly as daily - two times daily in case your epidermis is greasy. do no longer flow to mattress whilst your epidermis feels grimy! ensure you tone to close pores - I certainly have discovered that cleansing whilst the exterior is warm/heat (or use a facial wash with water as warm as you could stand) then tone with astringent - even merely chilly water! Face packs - lots on the marketplace - they seem dreadful (so ensure you do no longer answer the door!) however the appropriate one used oftentimes will ensure that the impurities are drawn out of the exterior. make an effort interior the chemist or food market & locate one you like the sound of! good issues - sunshine (carefully!), oatmeal (eaten and used as a wash), flow to the well-being foodstuff save & see what they have available to advance epidermis - quite a number of the consumer-friendly supplements help besides as extremely some the greater professional organic sort issues! undesirable issues - too lots sunshine - burgers - smoking. good luck!

Make sure you drink plenty of water. This tends to keep skin clear, although if it's acne, see your Dr! Your diet can also affect your skin so reduce the amount of fatty and greasy food and increase your fresh fruit and veg!

Many times those spots are caused by a skin fungus. You can have great success using dandruf shampoo because it kills the fungus thus the spots go away

ask in good health shops like Holland and Barrett and they might be able to advise you how to make your own up which may work better than shop bought products
