Everyone wants clear, impurities-free skin. Unfortunately, not all of us were
blessed to have the model- look beautiful skin that we always wanted. People are always bombarded
with those various skin disorders and we are always flocking to our drugstores to buy the latest miracle
cure for that naturally beautiful skin.
Some
Facts:
Fact number one. The cosmetic industry makes billions
of dollars from the public quest for great skin. They use the money to advertise and
perpetuate their products. Do not be fooled by the hype.
Fact number two. There are many factors that
contribute to the clogging of pores: like dehydrated skin, improper cleansing, excessive
oil production, excessive build-up of dead skin cells, hormones, excessive sweating,
dirty work or play environments, genetics, makeup, fingers on the face, allergic reactions,
a diet high in sugar content and many others.
Fact number three. Most skin impurities are due
to clogged pores, so the best way to have that beautiful skin is to unclog your pores.

5 Steps to unclog your pores
-
Avoid oil-based products such as facial
lotions, wash and cosmetics. Look for products that are “
non-comedogenic,” it means it will not clog your pores.
-
Do not wear tight headbands, baseball hats,
and/or helmets when you exercise or play sports, and make sure you
wash the sweat-soaked things each time you wear them.
-
Keep the skin hydrated and moist
so your cells can function properly. Moisturize your face with
mild, non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep it hydrated. Moisturizing is a
necessity. Again, the product with the least amount of chemical additives
is the best. Always use a light moisturizer on your face after cleansing.
-
Cleanse your pores with a toner or skin conditioner on
cotton balls. Do not try to scrub harshly or you will strip and damage
your skin. Even after rinsing your face, if you do not remove the
remainder of cleanser and loosened debris residues, you are only going to imbed
that debris deeper into the pores as you layer serums and moisturizers on top.
The absolute best way to perform this deep pore cleansing is with a salicylic
acid toner or skin conditioner on cotton balls. There's no need to harm your
skin by vigorous scrubbing or harsh treatments, simply wipe with toner damp cotton
balls until the last cotton comes away perfectly white.
-
Astringents, Salicylic Acid, retinoic acids, and glycolic
acids all work to prevent pores from clogging. Be aware of some active ingredients
like benzoyl peroxide, these ingredients can cause major side effects.
So there are 5 easy steps to eliminate or lessen your problem.
