Picking your pimples again? Try this!

I never give my spots a rest. Much to my own regret. As soon as I start picking at them, I wish I hadn’t. Fortunately, my wonder weapon helps me ward off the worst.

The number one pimple rule? Don’t touch! A piece of advice I preach but don’t practise. As a popaholic, self-control isn’t my forte. But all that squeezing, fiddling and picking slows down the healing process and can cause ugly pimple scars.

By the way: the balm is also available with SPF 50. However, in terms of texture, I prefer the version without SPF as it’s less greasy.

Sometimes the tiniest details can make or break the way our skin feels, hair looks or make-up pops. In my Blazing Beauty Tips series, I share useful techniques and products with you that I’ve either discovered myself or stolen from the pros.

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
