It's taken me 22 years to realise this but like death and taxes, you cannot avoid spots. You can gulp down gallons of water, drink in seaside air and eat only steamed veg and fresh fruit, but one morning you will wake up with a little blighter on your face. We are POWERLESS to them. We can, however, control how we treat them. Enter the Body Shop. They've created a number of ranges to help whatever skin condition you may have. The Vitamin C products will transform dull, lifeless skin into a glowing thing of beauty (as you may guess from the sunshine yellow packaging). Head back to yesteryears with the Pomegranate range which helps reduce signs of ageing or intensely hydrate your skin with the Vitamin E range and kiss goodbye to dry skin. I am quite far off turning 60 and thankfully I don't suffer from dry or dull skin, but unfortunately I get spots and red marks. So for all you unfortunate souls like me, give these two ranges a try and see what you think. It's time to fix your face.
The Tea Tree Range
Tea tree is a magic potion. Although tea tree has a rep for being abrasive to skin, some of you might shrink back and say "how could I put that on my skin? It will BURN it!" But the Body Shop has been super clever by adding allantoin (a soothing agent) so that it doesn't feel as if you've just undergone a chemical peel. No more excuses! The Tea Tree Oil is exceptionally good at blitzing spots and blemishes within hours. Quite seriously, I tried it on one or two problem areas and my spots had dramatically reduced overnight. Keep it in your handbag just incase. Apply the Night Lotion to clean skin before bed and you'll wake up with your skin still feeling refreshed and noticeably clearer. Pore Minimiser does exactly what it says on the tin - it makes your pores, spots and blemishes look smaller! I found that whenever I used it, my concealer went on a lot easier and stayed on a lot longer. For sensitive skin, the tea tree range is too strong for continual, everyday use, but the Body Shop's products make for excellent emergency breakout relief. Begone, angry spots!
The Seaweed Range
Does your skin chop and change between dry, oily, spotty and clear? Then the Seaweed range is for you. It's not as strong as the tea tree range, but still makes your skin tingle and is ideal for constant use. Facial Exfoliator is essential for buffing away dry skin patches and the Clay Mask is ideal for once-a-week intense exfoliation. Your skin will be left as soft a baby's bottom. Again, the Pore Perfector does what it says on the tin, while acting as an excellent primer. Use the Purifying Cleanser at night to wipe away any impurities your skin has picked up during the day and follow it with Clarifying Toner to tighten and moisturise. The next morning, give your face a wash with the Cleansing Facial Wash to keep it feeling - and looking - clean and fresh all day.
We can't stop spots, but we can fight them. Look fresh faced and keep your confidence brimming with the Body Shop's range of excellent, and reasonably priced, products.
