spots

[2nosey]

i've started getting these tiny spots on my face that when i touch it , it feels like dry skin. i've been getting the spots on my cheeks and i never get spots in that area, only on my forehead. i can see them when there's light reflecting on to my face and they're starting to get worse. 

please can anyone tell what i should do to get rid of them

i try to drink plenty of water at least 5 glasses a day and i don't eat much junk food. 

thank you very very much

Could be an allergy to something, Miss. The fact that your skin feels dry and has tiny spots points to an irritated skin rather than ordinary spots.  Have you been using any brand of  soap, facial cleaners or makeup lately that you haven't tried before?  The fact that your skin feels dry and has tiny spots points to an irritated skin rather than ordinary spots.   Try using products for sensitive skin - ask at the pharmacy section of the chemist. 

 

Actually, it would be a good idea to ask a pharmacist's opinion.  They are pretty knowledgeable about rashes, etc. and I am sure they could help you.

 

Best Wishes from Mrs FP.  I didn't take any offence to you thinking I was a Mr.!

Whoops, there was a stutter in my answer.  Sorry.

I used to suffer from these,it can be a change in weather or just hormones but use a slightly thicker cream as you probably have a dryer skin with a combination by the sounds of things(a very popular skin type and condition)a change in moisturiser will probably help which is what i did. use a good exfoliator twice a week and a moisturising mask if you can too.You should notice the difference after a week or so if you do this. They are hard to get rid of completely as i still get the odd few and i hate them being a beauty therapist myself i have to try real hard to have flawless skin and out of all the clients i have treated there are only 1% who have had perfect skin!!!

Quinaderm, you can get it from most chemists, it's magic stuff.

Do they feel sensitive? if so go to pharmicist or doctor. You clearly think they are something out of ordinary.

thank you very much for your replys. (especially mrs FP!)

it's definetly something out of the ordinary. i used to use oil of olay on my skin it's the classic one but then it was making my skin so greasy i stopped using it and used baby lotion the one for adults. yesterday i thought they were getting better but it looks as though they're spreading.

 

ive heard of quinaderm my sister uses it however i was thinking of a more natural way to get rid of them because it don't want to rely too much on medication.

CHOP'R'US: i've got a mask that is exfoliating and moisturising. will that do? and yep i do have combination skin! (you must be a well trained beauty therapist) it's the tpe of skin that's dry and then oily in the t-zone right? i've got one of those facial steamer things at home should i use that?
