      Hi Little Britton,

      When I was in school I suffered from a lot of spots. The best way to prevent them is to make sure you wash your face with soap when you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed. This kills the bacteria on your face which causes the spots in the first place. Eating healthy and staying away from eating things like burgers and chips also helps with your skin.

      I don’t think you can get rid of dimples, sorry.

      Spots are caused by pours in your skin becoming blocked and clogged with oils, bacteria and other things. This is why teenagers suffer from them more than adults or children usually do, puberty causes oil production of the skin to go into overdrive. Washing regularly and exfoliating gently can help get rid of them, and prevent more of them.

      Hi Little Britton,

      I don’t think you can do anything about dimples!

      As Euan and Deborah have said, firstly spots can be prevented by washing your face regularly (recommended is usually morning and evening) to wash away bacteria and oil that can clog your pores.

      Secondly, make sure you eat more healthy things like fruits and vegetables which can actually help make your skin better from the inside out. Eat less junk food and chocolate, sugary and fried things! These foods contain a high amount of sugar and fat and these things are known to increase oil production and can lead to spots and acne.

      Hope this is clear 🙂
