Toothpaste is a great spot treatment – please, put the toothpaste down. Ingredients like baking soda or alcohol (often found in your typical tube) might dry a spot out, they can also seriously irritate your skin. That dry ring or chemical burn is much harder to conceal that the spot you started with…

Only teens get spots – nope, adults get breakouts too! You’re not alone. It’s actually incredibly common – because we all deal with hormonal shifts, unbalanced diet, stress and more. It’s just more likely in your teen years.

‘Natural’ spot remedies are always safer – just because it’s natural or found in your kitchen cupboard, doesn’t mean it’s safe to put on your delicate skin, or on a spot (if you’ve popped it, it’s basically an open wound). Lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, baking soda, homemade sugar scrubs, we’ve heard it all. Don’t do it! It’s a shortcut to pH imbalances, irritations, and probably more breakouts. Our advice? Stick to simple skincare that’s formulated for you (aka, our products…), or products that have been formulated specifically for spots and breakouts.
