If you’re looking for the best ways to get rid of spots and blemishes, then you’ve come to the right place. Here, we’re sharing our favourite blemish busting skincare solutions.

How to get rid of spots

You may be wondering why you keep getting spots? Spots can be caused by a number of factors including hormones, a poor diet, stress and more. And whilst you may not have changed anything, blemishes are often completely out of our control. Here are 3 things you can do to help them on their way.

 1. Apply a hot or cold compress to the spot

Do you have that sore almost bruised feeling? Think a spot may be brewing? Apply a warm cloth and compress the affected area. The steam from the compress will help bring the spot to the surface so you know what exactly you’re dealing with. For a spot that has already emerged, you can use a cold compress to help with any swelling around a large, painful blemish.

When the natural oil produced by your face mixes with pollution and your makeup, it can cause your pores to become clogged which in turn can cause breakouts. By ensuring you wash your face daily, especially after working out, you can be sure to be doing everything you can to prevent blemishes and breakouts.

If you don’t clean your makeup brushes regularly bacteria can harvest on the bristles which will, in turn, be spread across your face. Dirty makeup brushes are a common cause of spots and blemishes. To help, we’ve compiled the ultimate guide to cleaning your makeup brushes.
