supposedly you can do the same with the inside bit of a biro - and you don't have to have pink fluffy hair

the cure for spots/acne/blackheads /greasy skin= old age once you become and old git you dont have any wories about any of them ,you dont have to worry about greasy hair either cos it falls out,other problems do arise like not being able to see your toes past your belly when standing in the shower

My dear old mother used to pick blackheads out with a pin

A bit of decent aftershave is a good spot killer Dont go for the cheap and nasty stuff

I still get spots from time to time

[Sunkissed Suzie]

My advice is
A) Steam your face and squeeze
B) a blackhead remover
C) biore pads for your nose and chin (sore but work)
D) Witch hazel or clearasil, or indeed toothpaste or sudo cream (drys them out)

Goodluck

Depending on how persistent your spots are you could also go and see your doctor for some stronger cream or antibiotics (The cream removes oil and the antibiotics kill the bacteria).

If they cause scaring you can also get a referral to a dermatologist who can prescribe Roaccutane which is pretty much guaranteed to clear them up.

For the blackheads try Panoxyl Aquagel, it comes in different percentages try 5% first.

If you do decide to try it remember to follow the instructions, as if you leave it on your nose to long you end up looking like Rudolph the reindeer .

For the other spots, apart from a mild soap and lukewarm water I don't know, you could always ask at the Pharmacy counter.

Laters,

Go with some Panoxyl (already mentioned I think).

Used to get quite a few but think I've now really grown out of them - or it might be to do with me eating a better range of food - i.e. fruit!
