Well I've just come back from a Spa break (at The Cambridge Belfry, very nice and friendly staff , they have great deals too). I not only had the back massage but also the facial, which involved cleanse, tone, essential oil massage, exfoliate and moisturize. For me that was 20 mins more than my face ever gets. It was extremely nice and very relaxing and left my face feeling like a new born baby's bottom!....unfortunately, I had a black tie event to go to the following night and I had committed the cardinal sin...NEVER GO FOR YOUR FIRST FACIAL, THE DAY BEFORE AN EVENT!
I had my facial in the morning, so by that evening, the toxins had began to make an appearance in the shape of 2 perfectly formed zits on my forehead (they looked like cyclops and his mate had come out to play!), now I know it seems a bit theatrical, but I am fortunate in the fact that I very rarely get any spots, so getting not one but a couple right smack dab in the centre of my forehead, 24hours before I was due to go out, felt a bit traumatic!
Lucky for me, fate was on my side! I had received a tester from Dermalogica, several weeks prior and I had popped it in my bag just in case this did occur. It's called Clean Start hit the spot (Available at Dermalogica or www.johnandginger4teens.co.uk £13.04). This concentrated spot treatment absorbs without a trace and promises to "minimizing breakouts while controlling future breakout activity". Well I dabbed that sucker to the smell of something minty and went to bed hoping for the best.
You can imagine my surprise when I saw those spots had miraculously disappeared in the morning! I went to my ball that night feeling like Cinderella on a pint of Vodka and had a fantastic time!
A few more spots turned up just below my nose by Sunday morning, which I ignored, but by Monday I decided to dab somemore Clean Start on it and as of today (Tuesday) they had diminished, but not disappeared like it did on the first day, so I think you have to attack them the minute they rear their ugly head....I for one will be having plenty more facials so me thinks I shall be purchasing the full size tube!!!
