Whether you have acne-prone skin or the occasional
hormonal outbreak, we all know what getting a huge spot can do to confidence, especially before a big event. And while spot
treatments may work well for some, for others they worsen the spots or, in my
case, leave scarring. Once you've figured out what type of spot you have and
are ready to treat it without using toothpaste, it's
time to tackle it head on (pardon the pun). This is where spot stickers will
become your (invisible) hero.
The stickers contain acne-fighting ingredients such
as salicylic acid and
tea tree to help kill the bacteria in the spot whilst ensuring it doesn't
spread onto other areas of the face. As well as this, the dots reduce
inflammation and redness to ultimately heal the blemish faster. The best thing
about the stickers is that they're almost invisible, meaning they can be worn
out of the house and even under makeup. And if you're a spot picker . . . you
know better! But you need to buy some of these ASAP, because I can guarantee
you won't be able to pick with a sticker on.
I use the Peter Thomas Roth spot stickers every time I
have a spot. I tend to know what a blemish looks and feels like before it is
fully formed, so I apply a sticker after my evening skincare routine, just
before getting into bed. Eighty percent of the time, the spot is completely
gone when I wake up and stays gone. If it is a hormonal spot, it can be a bit
trickier to shift, however, I will apply a dot every night until the spot fades
and find it drastically reduces inflammation and redness.

spot plans an attack.
