Fighting Clogged Pores

Do you wash your face both morning and night and still have clogged pores? Unfortunately, this is because routine washing isn’t enough to clear your pores. However, there are products and treatments you can use to make clogged facial pores a thing of the past!

Although blackheads are the most common culprits of clogged pores, they can also be caused by natural oil secretions mixed with skin germs. They can also be caused by milium cysts, which occur when keratin becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin.

Cleansing Brushes:Electric cleansing brushes remove more dirt, oil and makeup than wipes or washes alone, as they’re able to reach deeper into your pores to release the contents. Choose a gentle wash while using a brush, as strong washes or exfoliants can be too harsh if paired with one. Creamy based cleansers are best for dry to normal skin while gel based cleansers are best for normal to oily skin.

Exfoliating Cleansers:These cleansers include powerful ingredients that remove or prevent clogged pores. A great exfoliator will prevent overproduction of sebum, tighten your pores, and remove the outermost skin layers so fresh skin can emerge. We recommend one including glycolic acid. Alternatively, you can choose an exfoliating sugar scrub for the removal of dead skin cells.
