Listen Later

In the final episode of our teen skincare special in partnership with Purifide, by the makers of Acnecide, Netmums host Wendy Golledge tackles the dreaded “why now?!” breakout – those spots with perfect timing to appear right before prom, birthdays, or big family events.

Joined by mum Sarah, her daughter Phoenix, and Consultant Dermatologist Dr. Alia Ahmed from Purifide, we share real-life stories, expert advice, and quick fixes for calming flare-ups without panic or last-minute product scrambles. From spot patches with powerful ingredients to confidence-boosting strategies, this is your go-to guide for those skin emergencies.

In this episode, we cover:
  • Quick, dermatologist-approved fixes for those “emergency” spots
  • The truth about water, diet, and skin health
  • How to support teens’ confidence when a breakout threatens to ruin the day
  • Filtering social media skincare advice so it’s safe and effective
  • When to seek professional help if spots just won’t go away
  • Why big events can trigger flare-ups (and how stress plays a role)
  • Whether your teen’s prepping for prom or simply wants to feel confident in their own skin, this episode is packed with reassurance, expert tips, and real-life perspective.
