A couple of weeks ago, I recommended Angus Castus to deal with PMT, because my PMT has been getting worse with peri-menopause. Well this week I’m back with the other side the annoying peri-menopausal coin. Spots.

I’ve been very lucky in that my skin has never been very blemish prone but when I get them, I get them on my chin, usually before a period. Recently that’s been spots on my chin all the time and also around my nose. It’s not a good look and while I’m not at the cystic acne stage, they are sore and look horrible.  I’ve been experimenting with skincare to help resolve the issue and it was helping but this was the final piece.  I found it via this year’s M&S Advent Calendar and my skin was clearer after the 1^st day I used it.

I’m never going to solve the problem completely (not until the hormones stop) but spots I do get don’t last as long and aren’t as sore. Overall, my skin is clearer, less dry and seems to take face cream and SPF better.

I’m all about taking care of my skin without breaking the bank and this cleanser is the most expensive part of my skin care regime, coming in at £40 for 200ml. Yep I was pretty horrified too but it should last about 6 months and it makes a huge difference to my face. There may be other, cheaper stuff that works on my chin spots but I haven’t found it yet so right now it’s worth it.
