Beauty QnA

Q: Why am I getting pimple break outs? I'm 32 years old! Sometimes, my skin is clear and fabulous and then all of a sudden, I am riddled with pimples on my chin for at least a week! Help! - Allison Gibson

 A: When it comes to random skin breakouts, there are a variety of factors that could contribute to it. Answering yes or no to the questions below will help you narrow down the cause:

• Are you suffering from stress?

• Are you using a new skincare product?

• Have you eaten/drank anything new or in vast amounts recently? (You could have an allergy to the food).

• Are you continuously touching your face without realising it?

• Is there a change in weather conditions?

• Have you taken any new form of medication lately? (Your hormones could possibly be imbalanced).

• Are you washing your face religiously and removing all forms of make-up properly?

 Q: My daughter gets terrible eczema when spring begins. She gets dark patches and suffers with low self-esteem, which isn't great for a 17-year-old. What can you suggest? - Tozi Gumbi

 A: It sounds as though the eczema plays a huge role in your daughter's life. Instead of recommending a product or range, I suggest you consult a dermatologist in order to treat her eczema. There are so many different forms of eczema and in order for her to get the best treatment, a doctor would be the best option.
