FAQ'S

What are spots?

The skin’s surface is constantly replenishing itself by shedding dead skin cells to replace them with new ones. Sebum, the essential oil that is needed to lubricate the skin, is produced by the sebaceous glands and is secreted through the pores to the skin’s surface.
 

If dead skin cells are not removed, then they stick together and clog up the pore openings.
 

Sometimes sebaceous glands can produce more oil than is needed. This can cause an oily complexion and if the pores are blocked, the oil can gather in the hair root providing a great place for the spot-causing-bacteria to grow.
 

The combination of clogged pores, bacteria growth and trapped oil, means spots can form and appears on the skin’s surface.

Who gets spots?

Nearly everyone will get spots at one time or other. In fact, spots are one of the most common skin problems for people aged between 15 years and 19 years of age.⁴

How many times a day should I wash my face?

Contrary to what you might believe, washing your face too often can actually make your spots worse. This is because over-washing your face can dry out your skin.
