how can i get rid or reduce the spots i get on my face?
asked: Hi,
Im black 15 yr old and im trying to keep my spots under controll but it somehow failed. I’ve worked out my skin is slightly oily – because when i wake up in the morning there is a little oil on my face and after school there’s usaually a little layer of oil.
I wash my face 2/3 times a day and i use talcum powder on my face before i go to bed and i cream my face with moisturiser (which is perfumed), and so im not sure what i am doing wrong? Or is it just natural at my age? Im pretty sure i dont have acne. Have you got any home remedies or tips – ive started to drink water more constantly and watch i dont eat too many fatty foods but i dont see the effect on my skin.
Sorry it’s alot to read but im realy curious and have to give all the details.

Firstly, I suggest you only wash your face a maximum of twice a day. Whenever you cleanse your face it triggers your glands to secrete more oil, so you need to try to get a balance. If you overwash your face then naturally your skin will produce more oil to compensate. Yes, it is natural at your age, and you should be glad you don’t have acne! Glad to hear you’re drinking more water, remember, don’t give up, it works wonders in the long term!!!
You should use a light mousteriser after you wash your face in the morning and evening, like Clean and Clear’s Dual Action. Its quite cheap and is oil free, but mousterises your skin at the same time. Its very gentle.

All of this is natural at your age.
To get rid of the oily skin, try not to use to much moisturiser and make sure that when you wash your face it is with warm water.
Many people say toothpaste works for spots if you put it on overnight. I have also heard that honey works overnight, but make sure you don’t put too much on.
Sudocrem is very popular for treating spots, but it makes your skin look pale if you put it on during th day.
I haven’t tryed any of these, i am just telling you what i heard!

hey i know this might sound silly but use pile cream on your face ( preparation H). its fantastic. i put it on my face every night and it shrinks spots rapidly and takes the redness away.
hope this helps
