Aw tinks bleah, was that before or after eating the Crunchie..? :-(
Maybe the crunchies are not helping your skin.
good diet, let your skin breath, only wear make up when on a night out.

Before boxy! But im a picker....i love it LOL

The stick is a godsend!!

I dont eat THAT badly...i think its the fake tan too actually x
Sauna- and then an ice cold dip, works wonders for anyone's skin:)
You're probably right, the constant fake tanning will be putting stuff on your skin that's not meant to be there. You need to cleanse all the time, it is blocked pores cause them.
I used to get them when I was young. Spent hours squeezing them out. Ugly things! Seem to disappear when you get older tinks so don't worry about them too much.
NOX I'd rather have the blackheads:-)

Tinks what's this spot bursting stick you have?
is it one of those little v-shaped stick thingies?

If i see someone with one...i actually get itchy hands and almost salivate at the thought of squeezing it lol...xx

Ill get you a link....xx
Sounds as though you may have oily/combination skin type - do you use the LE product specifically for that type?
You need to wash your face with surgical soap.

At least morning and night, and a couple more times if you can.

Use tepid water.Pat your face dry.

Keep away from make-up except for a night out.

If your hair is long and around your face, tie it back.

Eat as much fruit and veg as you can.

Cut down on dairy produce.

Stop picking - you'll get your skin infected, and that can scar.

Keep your hands scrupulously clean and try and keep them away from your face.

Cut your fingernails short and scrub them daily.
I still get them starbuckone and the occassional spot and wrinkles and little growths and red viens and ..........

Had a similar one from body shop...but they changed it to a "looped" one which was rubbish xx
Try the hot cloth method every day ...and I mean every day :) Morning and night .
Any old cream .Smear it on ,rub it in and then rinse a rough flannel in very hot water and clean it all off .Keep rinsing and scrubbing .Then splash your face with cold water to close the pores .You will never get another blackhead .
I'm 64 and have been doing this for donkeys years and I'm not blowing my own trumpet but my skin for my age is not too bad :)
Andy - Are you serious? Like girls will listen to that advise!!!
Steam them, exfoliate them (once a week) - do try not to squeeze them please Tink! Drink lots of water - first thing in morning, drink some hot water with a squeeze of lemon or a slice of lemon in it, and make sure you cleanse tone and moisturise every bedtime and never go to bed without taking off your make up, and you'll have beautiful skin!
Andy that's like some torture from the 1800's ;-)
Did you see this blackhead cleaing brush?
