DS(7) with beautiful skin has one blackhead and two pimples on his nose...

[befrazzled]

how on earth am I going to get rid of it? Also DS(nearly 10) has started getting the occasional 'proper' zit. Any skincare tips for boys? Best products to use?

Depending on your budget in the Boots xmas catalogue they are selling a product that heals spots using light and heat. Its probably going to be used a lot over the next 10 years so might be worth investing.

I luckily never got many spots as a teenager but when I did I wished I had something like that because most spot lotions have lots of chemical in them and bring me out in an allergic reaction.

DS11 has begun to get occasional spot. He has started using Simple face wash as I felt it would be less harsh than the teen face washes. When he gets a good 'un I have to confess to giving it a gentle squeeze followed by a dab of lavender oil.
