Forget sugar!

Unless you're blessed with the genetics of some porcelain-skinned ancestors, you are, or have been in the past, prone to blemishes and spots of some variation.

Whether it's dietary, hormonal or not cleansing properly, they creep up on us and can quickly turn into a  dermatological nightmare if not monitored or treated.

Speaking on Dermot and Dave, multi-award-winning facialist and skin lecturer Jennifer Rock (aka. The Skin Nerd) tells us why sugar is so bad for your pores. Yes - sugar!

She also praises the results plasma pens and salicylic acid can yield and offers advice on how to treat 'bacne'.

And when it comes to skincare, don't expect to see a huge improvement overnight, "it takes about 28 days to see good skin health".
