Beauty Tips: How to combat spots?

I'm sure I am not the only one with this issue. I get spots and they are really hard to get rid of. So I have tried a huge number of methods to get rid of them quicker. Here are my feedbacks from all the methods I have tried.


1. Squeeze it! (ew.)
Yes, I know this sounds absolutely disgusting, but at one point of my life I seriously thought it was the quickest way to get rid of spots. Well, squeezing them did get rid of the ugly white bit, but I was left with some spot scars that required covering up and it was there for ages! I have now learnt my lesson and will NEVER squeeze my spots again.


2. Antiseptic Cream

After reading the packaging and realising that it can be applied to spots, I jumped to apply this on any existing spot before bed. Have to say this definitely worked better than squeezing the spot on drying the spot out, but you will have to apply this persistently on your existing/developing spot everyday and it will take a while to full get rid of the spot. It is good if you don't want your spot leaving scars behind, but it will take a while.


3. Toothpaste!

I have read on Michelle Phan's blog that toothpaste is a good thing to stop spots from emerging. So I decided to try this at home since it is an inexpensive way to get rid of them. I have dabbed a bit of toothpaste (enough to cover the spot) on my developing spot before going to bed and the next morning when I woke up, the spot looks visibly smaller and on the second day it was gone! This is a great method as it is cheap and gets rid of spots really quickly and efficiently. However, the time needed to get rid of the spot depends on the size of the spot, the bigger the spot, the longer it will take to get rid of it. But I am relying on this method now!


So above are methods I have used to get rid of them, but another important step will be to prevent them. I would suggest removing your make up COMPLETELY before going to bed. Wearing make up to bed will cause the make up to clog up your pores and cause a spot to develop! It does not matter how tired you are or how late it was, make up NEED to come off before bed.


It is also important to have clean bed sheets, since bacteria can build up on dirty bed sheets, pillow cases and other fabrics, so I recommend clean them regularly, but not so regularly that you run out of bed sheets! Also invest in a good skin cleanser and wash, since they also help to clear up your pores. Basic rule: Clear Pores=Clear skin!


So there are most of my tips to a clear skin. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to contact me and I will try my best to answer all your questions!


Stay Tuned!
