there is a three step skin regime by Liz Earle (there is a website which ships internationally) its brilliant and quick, brings down inflammation and makes skin look clearer and smoother. She also sells a Superbalm Concentrate which helps reduce the appearance of scarsDoes any 1 have beauty tips for spots?
The best cure for spots in my humble opinion is LIVE NATURAL YOGHURT. It cost pennies from most supermarkets or health food stores.





Slap it all over (not kidding) every night before bed, and sleep with it on your face for a week or so. You will need to change your pillow case every day but I swear this method cured my brothers threatening acne when he was younger. The live cultures kill off any surface skin infections.





Nothing to lose by trying it. One pot lasts a couple of days in the fridge.





Let us know if this works for you. I am thinking of marketing it, and charging a lot more than 25p. :)Does any 1 have beauty tips for spots?

Get Healthy Skin: 3 Habits to Break





Is your skin as soft and healthy as you'd like? You may be sabotaging it without even knowing! Here, how to avoid three common habits that can wreak havoc on your skin.





Bad Habit 1:





You dry shave Shaving legs or underarms dry can cause irritation, ingrown hairs, and razor burn. To nurture skin, soften it in the shower for about 10 minutes. Then apply a layer of shaving cream (not soap, which will dull the razor and invite cuts) and shave in long strokes. Slather on body lotion post-shower.





Bad Habit 2:





You ignore incidental sun exposure Sure, walking from your car to the office in the sun may not be as damaging as spending hours baking on the beach. But just a few minutes of exposure here and there can bring on wrinkles just the same. Wear a daily SPF lotion formulated for the face. Brands such as Clinique and Neutrogena make versions that work well under makeup.





Bad Habit 3:





You avoid exfoliation A buildup of dead skin cells can cause itchiness and rashes, especially in unpredictable or dry weather. Scrub daily with a puff, a loofah, or a grainy exfoliator to help sweep rough skin away. Afterward, use moisturizer to lock in softness.





Skin-Saving Tips





If you want your skin to be on its best behavior, you need to clean up your act and follow a few rules.





1. Don't overdo cosmeceuticals. With more and more beauty potions containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), salicylic acids, antioxidants, and retinoids, mixing a cleanser from one line with a scrub or daytime moisturizer from another, then a night cream from yet another, can lead to over-exfoliation and irritation. This can add up to a real problem, especially for women with olive and darker complexions, who are more prone to discoloration when their skin is irritated. To play it really safe, stick with one line of products which are formulated to work together. If you use any prescription products, ask your doctor to advise you on how to combine prescription treatments with over-the-counter cosmeceutical products.





2. Shake your booty. Twenty to 30 minutes of any aerobic exercise will give you a glow. Exercise increases blood flow, which brings more nutrients to the skin. But beware -- the buildup of oil and perspiration can result in sweatband acne, folliculitis, and prickly heat. The solution: Shower as soon as possible after working out.





3. Don't get intimate with the phone. Constant rubbing on the mouthpiece may lead to rashes around the chin and mouth. Hold the phone away from those areas when talking, and clean it often with a mild soapy solution or rubbing alcohol.





4 . Eat healthy. Antioxidants (vitamins A, C, and E) -- which help reduce sun damage and fight certain cancers, including skin cancer -- are essential to your health. I recommend a well-balanced diet filled with at least five servings a day of fruits and vegetables, plus a multivitamin that meets RDA standards.





5. Don't wear your makeup to bed. We all know it, but we sometimes do it anyway. Layers of foundation, powder, and blusher left on overnight can clog pores and lead to acne or folliculitis. Take it all off before bed with a mild non-soap cleanser. But don't waste your money on a cleanser with glycolic acid or AHAs: It's not on your face long enough to absorb into the skin. These ingredients are more effective in your moisturizer.





6. Hands off those zits. Poking, prodding, and popping can prolong a pimple's life and make the problem worse. Scarring and the spread of infection are two possible consequences. To speed up healing, cleanse your face, then apply a warm compress, such as a clean, damp washcloth. Next, dab on an over-the-counter cream or lotion containing a drying agent, such as salicylic acid, sulfur, or benzoyl peroxide.





7. Get your shut-eye. Most of us don't get the eight to nine hours we need to avoid sleep deprivation. There haven't been any conclusive studies on how being tired affects skin, but the effects aren't hard to detect -- namely, under-eye circles. The solution: Budget in sleep time, including a short afternoon nap whenever you can manage it.





8. Adopt ';water, water, every day'; as your mantra. Yes, drinking water does keep you hydrated, which helps skin look and feel better. Get in the standard 6 to 8 eight-ounce glasses throughout the day -- more if you're a heavy exerciser. Beaware that many of the new sugar substitutes are dehydrating, so drink more water if you're into low-cal liquids.
wash skin vigorously with a nivea scrub to remove the dead cells. then clean your face with a facial gel for problem skin which will have an antibacterial agent for the spots. Apply a vitamin C or a Self heating mud mask. Remove mask. Apply a tonic lotion and then a hydratant cream.
d best ting do to do is cleanse tone and moistuirise ur face mornin and night tea tree oil is excellent for spots as it witch hazel also increase ur water intake and if ur wearin makeup use a lot of face powder as it dries up oiliness gud luk
