Spots, pimples, acne, breakouts, bumpy - uneven skin... it's a nightmare for anyone of any age.
I used to suffer dreadfully with it, nothing worked for me... apart from a small number of products (face washes, scrubs etc) - but only temporarily.
A reason that they don't work and why I no longer used them is because they drastically alter the PH levels on your skin, stripping away essential oils.
This leaves your skin sore and brittle; causing easy damage to it.
After using them, your skin is left without its natural oils and PH balance, and so your skin tries to compensate by excreting more oils.. in an attempt to re-balance them.
This means a higher level of oil/grease on your face, clogging up your pores and causing dirt to get trapped in them. This turns into sebum (the white substance which appears in spots) and contains bacteria which can spread - causing more spots to form.
