If you’re embarrassed or annoyed by a skin condition you are far from alone: all humans are susceptible to skin complaints – even the picture-perfect (i.e. airbrushed) celebrities that you see day-in-day-out gracing the covers of magazines and ‘breaking’ the internet.

The good news is that there is almost always a cure, or at least something to help ease the irritation. Take a look at the infographic below to find out more about some of the more common skin conditions, how to treat them, and which not-so-perfect celebrities share your symptoms.

Did you know that Britney Spears, Cameron Diaz and Brad Pitt have all suffered from acne? The same goes for 80% of the world’s population, at some point during their lives. Whilst no-one wants to go out with blemishes on their face, mild cases can be treated with creams and the effects of more extreme cases can be dampened with medication.

Plenty of sun-worshipping celebs are affected by hyperpigmentation; a condition that results in uneven, darker patches of skin. You can help reduce its appearance using pigment lightening treatment that contains ingredients such as kojic acid, azelic acid, licorice, sabi white, mulberry and Vitamin C.

Celebrities such as Mariah Carey, Bill Clinton and Cameron Diaz (again) have suffered from rosacea; a redness to the face that can sting or feel sensitive, whilst looking similar to sunburn. This condition affects 1 in 10 of us – typically as we hit middle age – and hits fair-skinned people more than most. Unfortunately, there is no known cause for rosacea, but it’s commonly believed that you can help reduce outbreaks by avoiding the sun, spicy food, hot tubs, saunas, cold temperatures, harsh exfoliants, and steam treatments.

Eczema is a very common condition (affecting 3.5% of the global population) which causes dry, inflamed skin that is extremely itchy. However, it affects children most prevalently, with 60% of sufferers actually recovering during adolescence. There is no confirmed cause, although it is understood to be primarily genetic, with environmental factors causing outbreaks and contributing to the severity of symptoms. We have a number of hydrating and soothing treatments for eczema available here.
