Now before you start shouting at the PC, I want you to think about why you are trying to search out the information right now. Is it because you have a hot date, going out with friends or something similar?

However, if you have found your way here because you are suffering from spots and acne you really do need to start thinking about dealing with this in a long term manner.

It might help but it's not going to solve the bigger picture.

• Oatmeal Mask


• Two Day Fix

The Toothpaste Trick

This is a favourite on getting rid of spots quick. But you do need to use caution when trying this one, it is known to dry out the skin and leave a nice red patch on your face.

It's best carried out before you go to bed at night. Clean your face well with soap and water. Splash your face with cold water to close the pores back up and pat dry. Take a pea sized amount of regular toothpaste and apply to the spot or pimple.

In the morning simply wash away the dried on toothpaste and you should see a marked improvement. Use with caution, especially if you have sensitive skin.

The Oatmeal Mask

Again, this is great to do before bed. Clean your face well with soap and water and pat dry. Get a mix of oatmeal and water and gently apply to your face. Rub gently in circular motions and then leave a cake layer on to get rid of spots quick.

Leave on the face for around five minutes before washing off. I have heard people say that they combine the oatmeal mask with the toothpaste trick to get great results overnight.

The Two Day Fix

If you are lucky enough (or unlucky enough) to get a spot a few days before a special event. The best thing to do is to start the two day fix in order to get rid of spots quick.

Start first by drinking lots of water. This is a great way to get your body detoxifying on it's own. Hydrated body leads to hydrated skin and this is a good way to get the balance of your skin right.

- Avoid eating fatty foods at all costs
- Keep your hair pulled away from your face
- Avoid makeup at all costs
- Do NOT squeeze the spot or pimple
- Do not start to over clean

On the first day run a hot bath and keep the door shut. Ensure that you keep a window open so that there is some air coming in. Sit in the bathroom and let the steam work its way into your skin and then once the bath is cooler jump in and place a flannel on your face.

Relax for a good twenty minutes.

Apply the oatmeal mix and leave on for 5/10 minutes. You can use the toothpaste fix if you think your skin is OK with this.

On the second day, continue to drink plenty of water and keep your hair away from your face. Don't wear makeup at all.

Go through the same process as on day one but before bed, apply a small amount of sudocrem. Again, this is not recommended for very sensitive skin as it can dry it out.

In the morning you should notice a real difference to your skin!

When it comes to getting rid of spots and acne it can take time to get the right product that suits your skin and you. Yes, it's not something that is just going to go away on it's own, you will need a product of some kind to do that.

Teenagers who get acne and spots do have an advantage that most of the time it will eventually go when puberty is well under way. There are times (and people) though when waiting isn't an option. No one wants to walk around feeling uncomfortable with themselves.

You can either consult with a dermatologist or GP to get prescription medicine or try one of the hundreds of products that claim to help you get rid of spots and acne.

What works well for one person just won't work for someone else.

This is where it can take time to get it right. You need to give each product you try at least six to eight weeks before you can see any real results. It's not a quick fix unfortunately.
