Here’s how to treat teenage spots and pimples, according to the experts

ok.co.uk:

It’s 7am on a Monday morning, and my daughter is putting me on the spot. And I mean that quite literally. “Tell me how to get rid of THAT!” she demands, pointing at the pimple that’s sprouted on her nose overnight.The embarrassing truth is, I don’t actually know.

I’ve written about adult acne many times over the years, yet I’m in uncharted waters when it comes to good old-fashioned teenage zits.

In fact, make that tweenage. My daughter is only 11, so I’m even more doubtful. Are pimple products at the chemists even suitable for such young skin?

It’s a topic I’ve been asked about repeatedly by mum mates who seem to mistake me for a dermatologist rather than a beauty director.
