Whether you suffer from occasional spots, regular breakouts, age spots or hyperpigmentation, blemishes on the skin are never a good look and we all get 'em. Blemishes are often caused by oil-clogged pores on the skin and although it's not totally avoidable the chances of getting regular blemishes can be reduced through a good skin care regime.
Simple, obvious things like not squeezing spots can lessen your chances of getting blemishes. Also wearing sunscreen come rain or shine can help to prevent age spots. Another way to keep skin clear and spots at bay is to keep hydrated as this keeps the skin healthy and replenished. It's also good to remember that your skin mirrors your internal well being, so look after yourself from the inside out.
And just in case you need a little extra help to completely rid yourself of blemishes we've put together the 10 best blemish busting products. (You can thank us later.)
