There are many things to adore about Chrissy Teigen (like, for example her ingenious clapbacks, or the near-constant hair inspo, or her amazing levels of compassion).

But another reason to love and protect her at all costs is her generosity with skincare recommendations - from the face oil she swears by, to breaking down her entire goddamn skincare ritual.

The latest reveal she's made is - thank the lord - one for fellow acne sufferers. Chrissy's opened up about her acne in the past, and according to People magazine has now revealed one of her favourite go-to fixes for painful spots: ZitSticka's KILLA kits.

ICYMI, ZitSticka KILLA kits comprise 8 SA cleaning swabs, and 8 microdart patches. Applied to clean skin (overnight if you can), these little patches deploy spot-dissolving ingredients into the source of a zit, to help speed up the cycle of the spot, aid healing and reduce inflammation.

Chrissy shared the patches to her IG story, recommending them as part of a spot-busting routine.

As an acne sufferer myself, I feel Chrissy's pain when it comes to acne, and I've tried everything from salicylic acid to DNA hacking to in attempt to clear up monthly cysts.

I also agree strongly with her tip-off. My current routine incorporates these stickers along with an SA face wash (I love this by Verso and this by CeraVe) when menstrual spots begin to rear their heads.

Another great anti-inflammatory hack is taking and regular doses of CBD under the tongue - obviously, consult a GP first. Great brands include Kloris (the crème de la crème), BeYou if you like a spray option, VitalityCBD for a super-affordable option, and DreemDistillery if you're looking for a night oil specifically engineered to help you fall asleep.

Oh - and if you're looking for post-spot acne scar hacks, ZitSticka also have you sorted, with their HYPERFADE scar-reducing patches - also now a firm staple on my skincare shelf.



Goodbye, face covering-induced acne - you will not be missed.
