Blemishes and spots are the worst. As if you’re not trying to deal with enough (you know, like friends and relationships and work and feeding yourself), your skin comes along and makes it even worse. Goodbye confidence. But there is a lot of information out there that can help you feel better about your skin and hopefully, eventually, sort it out.
That’s why we've teamed up with Boots and Beauty Hunter (our great hub for all things beauty related - check it out) to talk all things skin confidence with the Boots scientific skincare adviser Dr. Mike Bell, to ask him all the questions we have about problem skin and adult acne, what causes it and how to deal with it. Turns out eating chocolate won’t give you spots, but there’s a bit more to it than that.
