Spots starting

DD is 12 (next week!) and is starting to get little spots over her forehead and on the sides of her nose.

Can anymore recommend cleansing products for her? There seem to be a myriad of products out there!

Thanks countydurhamlass. Looked on their website and I think I'll get some of their products for older ds too when next in England.

My dd's nearly 11 and I've noticed this too. Emphasise the importance of washing with a mild cleanser and warm water, keeping hands clean and trying not to touch her face too often. Spot treatments may be too harsh, I'd try a soap free cleanser and a mild toner.
