French skincare is notoriously wonderful, so I was very excited to be invited to try some products by Darphin. However, my temperamental skin doesn't like change, and I was slighly worried that too many new ingredients and products might do more harm than good.
Luckily I wasn't going into this blind. As an aromatherapy-based brand, Darphin believe in touching, feeling and (of course) smelling the ingredients before buying. My skincare regime was custom-fit after a long consultation, and I was surprised at what I ended up taking home with me...
If your skin has been taking a bit of a beating lately you'll be happy to know that you're not alone. And by that I mean esteemed stars such as Britney Spears, Billie Piper and Catherine Zeta Jones all fall prey to the dreaded spots every now and then. To make you feel slightly better I've compiled a selection of spotty stars, which should hopefully help your own pustules diminish in comparison.
We all expect to to be rather spotty in our teens, what with hormones flooding our body and oily skin par for the course, but I never thought I'd still be complaining about spots in my twenties.
Welcome to twacne, the twenties skincare problem (coined by me as well!). The bad skin that we get in this decade isn't due to the same stresses as when we were younger, so if you invest too heavily in Clearasil you'll actually damage the skin as it isn't just oiliness that's the problem.
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.
