It's that time of year again, where we all try and detox away those Christmas pounds and try to clear up our skin. I've been noticing something strange going on with my face though, as I'm now getting spots in new and unusual places. Never the most blemish free person, they tended to stick to the T-Zone are, but now they're appearing on the sides of my face! I'm perturbed, and it has been suggested they're due to my body ageing. Have you noticed spots pop up in odd places? Let me know!
The area of acne is a big business for skincare. Everyone from troubled teens to forty something's want to put the dreaded spots to rest, and are prepared to pay big bucks to do so. We've already seen the the Zeno hit the marketplace to tackle pimples with heat technology, but now there's a new kid on the block.
Say hello to the no!no! Skin, a pocket friendly device that works on your spots. It works in a similar way to the Zeno, using heat and light to target the blemish at its source and minimize its appearance and lifetime on the skin. It uses green and red light to reach into the pore to combat the blemish at its source. The light destroys the blemish whilst the heat speeds up the healing process, and reduces swelling.
This is great because it's the MOST effective spot clearing range I've ever tried, and they have products for every symptom, from the occasional breakout to full on pustules Buy it if you're desperate to sort out your skin.
Get it here.
Late nights coupled with to many Christmas canapes has left my skin looking blotchier than Britney's comeback. I need help- fast, but which of the many spot helpers do I turn to? After learning that Blemish Complex, a four step kit that promises to help relieve you of those dreaded pimples is created by Murad (that's Dr Murad for those not in the know) I decided I had to give it a go. I liked the fact that it contains no benozyl peroxide, which is a common skin irritant, so I've been trying their 30 day plan.
There are many things you can do in the fight against acne. You can scrub, wash, moisturise and lather your face in benzoyl peroxide, but if you'd rather not end up red and raw I might have a better and more effective solution for you. Remember my excitement a little while back at a preview of Dermalogica's MediBac range? Well I've been faithfully testing their products and I gave to say they're really the best thing ever.
The concealer may retail for a lot (£28.50) but the fact that this will be your mainstay in zit zapping really makes it worth the moolah. It contains a tinted beige colour that conceals and easily blends in with your foundation.
OK, the sharpener in itself is not the most exciting tool in the world, but at £4 for a pretty purple container with two sizes of sharpening, it's not bad. What is exciting however is their new 24/7 Concealer pencil. Their 24/7 liner range is so well know for its creamy consistency and lovely textures, that a concealer pen is bound to do well. The pencil tip helps with precise application, and it's full of Vitamin E to nourish the skin. They've also added Microsponge, which absorbs excess oil and prevent further breakouts. It's available in four shades to match most skin-tones, and will be £8.50 from September.
Well ok, not real money. These hilarious blotters are printed to look like the 10,000 Yen bill. With a slight difference - as you can see the character (Fukuzawa Yukichi) is blotting HIS face.
