Indeed, research reveals that a third of men and women are affected by the skin issue in their adult years – so how can you fix it without having to resort to controversial acne drugs?
One skincare expert believes she has a cheap and effective solution for treating spots – and you’ll find the ingredients in your kitchen cupboard.

Speaking about the quirky treatment, she said: ‘While living in the Soviet Union at the age of 13, aspirin was my “miracle DIY” mask to combat any big, angry spots.
BYE BYE BLEMISH: HOW TO MAKE IT
Crush one aspirin tablet (non-fizzy) using a teaspoon and add a little water to create a non-runny paste.
Apply this mixed solution directly on the spot and keep it on the spot for 15-20 minutes before washing off.
‘Back in 1980’s in the Soviet Union we did not have fancy creams, everything was a deficit, especially skincare products. This how I learned to use natural, but very effective ingredients.’
Sharing her method, Nataliya recommends crushing one aspirin tablet (non-fizzy) using a teaspoon and adding a little water to create a non-runny paste.
Apply this mixed solution directly on the spot and keep it on the spot for 15-20 minutes before washing off.
Because aspirin is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, she says the spot will reduce in size and become less visible.
She added: ‘This method works especially well on angry, painful spots and on teenagers who are suffering from outbreaks as aspirin is kinder to skin than prescribed acne medication.’
