Become dux of your class: What’s your skin IQ?

Here are the answers - how many did you get right?

1. Chocolate gives you pimples.
Phew! This one's false. But diet is important in helping to keep your skin looking its best, so save choccies and junk food for special treats.

2. Picking pimples can lead to scars.
Yep, this one's true. Don't ever be tempted to pick. Use a good concealer to gently cover up blemishes - rest assured, it will go away!

3. The Clean & Clear® Morning Burst™ range contains Vitamin C.
Sure does, this one is true! The formula of the products in this range is enriched with Vitamin C and ginseng, designed to energise skin, while the invigorating citrus fragrance awakens the senses.

4. Moisturising doesn’t cause pimples.
True! All skin types need moisture, even those with oily skin. The key is choosing a product that is specially formulated for your skin's individual needs.

5. Using a body moisturiser on my face is OK.
Definitely false! The skin on your face is delicate and far different to the skin on the rest of your body. So products formulated for your body should only be used on the body, and facial moisturisers should be used only on your face - got that!

6. Washing my face several times a day will help oiliness.
False. You shouldn't over-cleanse your skin - it won't get rid of oiliness. In fact, it may dry the skin out, leading to the production of yet more oil! Cleanse once in the morning and once at night before bedtime only.

7. It may take six to eight weeks before you see results from your skincare.
True, you've got to give your skin time to adjust to any new regime to see true results start to be evident.
