Why spots always decide to grace us with their hugely unwanted presence right before a big event we will never know, although one thing we do know is that it is incredibly irritating.

Most of us have experienced that awful moment of panic when wake up, head to the mirror, and find ourselves the less than proud owner of a big new blemish which seems to have sprung out of nowhere.

Whilst it’s often easier said than done, it’s important not to panic when you find yourself faced with a blemish just when you need it least, as even when time isn’t on your side you can still make it a lot less noticeable.

Although you might find your hands constantly edging closer and closer to that spot, it’s important not to pick, squeeze or scratch, as you could make it look larger and run the risk of permanent scarring.

Using a product such as Dermalogica Special Clearing Booster can soothe skin whilst also helping to clear up any blemishes speedily, and for those who want to conceal and heal spots simultaneously- either before or during their big event- Dermalogica Concealing Spot Treatment is a must.

Don’t let a blemish ruin a special occasion- let Dermalogica deal with it.

If you regularly find yourself struggling to control a less than clear complexion, it’s safe to say that you are probably always on the hunt for ways to clear breakouts up as quickly as possible.

However, there is often a very fine line between clearing up breakouts quickly and making the situation worse. We all know how tempting it can be too squeeze a spot in the hope that it will disappear more quickly, although this can not only make it look much worse but could also make it spread- leading to a much longer healing period.

If you need to cover up blemishes using makeup, make sure that you use a product which allows skin to breathe, as layering on thick products could not only look awful but could further clog skin.

Luckily, when you’re looking to clear up skin quickly, Dermalogica has many great products which can really help.

When you’re looking to cover spots up, Dermalogica Concealing Spot Treatment can help to disguise blemishes whilst simultaneously helping to banish them- so you don’t have to risk using unsuitable makeup.

Clearing skin whilst you sleep is also a very easy task when you arm yourself with Dermalogica Overnight Clearing Gel, and as well as helping to shift existing breakouts, this fantastic product can also help to prevent future blemishes.

To dry out breakouts whatever the time of day, Dermalogica Special Clearing Booster is indispensable, and can really help to bring down redness.

Take a look at Dermalogica’s fab range of products and swiftly give blemishes the heave-ho.

The teenage years are some of the most trying times when it comes to looking after skin, and it needs proper care and attention to keep it looking the best that it possibly can.

The skin of teenagers has completely different requirements to those in their 20s and 30s, so it’s important that the correct products are used- rather than raiding the bathroom cabinet for your mum or older sister’s!

A characteristic of teenage skin is excessive oiliness. This is largely due to hormonal changes, and the production of excess sebum. This is why it’s extremely important for teens to invest in an effective cleanser, as failure to do so could lead to blocked pores- which will quickly result in spots and blemishes. A suitable cleanser is of optimum importance, as it is no longer sufficient to wash your face with any old soap that happens to be in the bathroom, as doing so could mean further skin woes.

Teens should also get into the habit of using a very light oil free moisturiser. This will help to condition and balance the skin, without promoting excess shine or oil.

Beginning a proper skincare regime in your teens is a great way to get yourself into a routine of caring for your skin- and Dermalogica have some fab products that will stand you in good stead for years to come.

With the sun now shining brightly on a more regular basis, it finally looks as though the good old British summer is here! Although you can never guarantee how long the sun is intending to stick around for, temperatures are certainly much warmer than they were a few months ago during the ridiculously long winter.

However, although you can always guarantee on the sun to raise spirits, its appearance isn’t always appreciated by those who suffer with oily skin.

Those with oily skin know just how difficult it is to keep shine at bay at the best of times, so when the sun is shining and the temperatures are soaring, you can only begin to imagine just how much excessive oil can potentially make an appearance.

Luckily, with a little help from Dermalogica, keeping shine under control doesn’t have to be tediously time consuming, and by using a couple of key products you can keep your skin looking magnificently matte all day long.

Dermalogica Oil Free Matte Block is perfect for use during the summer months, and not only does it keep shine at bay, it also contains an SPF 20, so the negative effects of the sun’s rays are reduced even further.

Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion is another very popular product, and it’s great for those cooler days spent indoors.

Have faith in Dermalogica, enjoy the sun and feel confident in your skin.

It’s not just us mere mortals that can become victim to annoying spots and blemishes, they can even affect A-list stars- as singer Katy Perry revealed.

Katy, of ‘I Kissed a Girl’ fame, recently told how she faced a battle with blemishes, which left her confidence in tatters.

Katy’s condition was so bad that facing the world was a task in itself, and she explained:

“I just wanted to hide. It was an amazing blessing to have clear skin.”

Katy, who is set to get hitched to comedian Russell Brand later this year, has recently been signed up to promote skin care- showing that skin problems can ultimately be overcome.

If, like Katy, you regularly suffer from spots or blemishes, in addition to assessing whether there is an underlying condition, it’s also important to religiously follow a good skin care regime.

Dermalogica have a great range of products which can treat spot and blemish prone skin, and they are key components in achieving a clear complexion.

Whether or not you’re a fan of Katy’s music, you can certainly take comfort in the fact that there is light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to overcoming pesky skin problems.
