How to Unclog Your Pores
Most people have experienced the dreaded feeling of touching their face only to discover their pores are clogged. Clogged pores can happen for a variety of reasons, but usually it's a combination of sebum (oily substance secreted by your skin), dead skin cells, and environmental pollutants that have become trapped in your pores. Not only can clogged pores be unsightly, but they can also lead to breakouts. So, how can you safely unclog your pores and prevent them from becoming clogged in the future? Keep reading to find out!
Method 1: Cleansing
The first step to unclogging your pores is to thoroughly cleanse your face both morning and night. Use a gentle cleanser that won't strip your skin of its natural oils. This will help remove any dirt, sebum, or makeup that may be clogging your pores. Be sure to avoid cleansers that contain harsh chemicals or fragrances, as these can irritate your skin and make breakouts worse.
Method 2: Exfoliating
Exfoliating on a regular basis is key to keeping your pores clear. By sloughing off dead skin cells, you're preventing them from clogging your pores and causing breakouts. You should aim to exfoliate 2-3 times per week using a physical or chemical exfoliator. We recommend our brightening serum; for gentle exfoliation that will leave your skin looking radiant and feeling smooth.
Method 3: Regular Facials
Regular facials can do wonders for keeping your pores clear. Custom facials that are tailored specifically to meet the needs of your individual skin type are essential. During your facial, skilled estheticians will deeply cleanse your skin, extract any congestion, and perform high frequency treatments to help kill bacteria and reduce inflammation.
Clogged pores are no fun for anyone—but luckily, there are plenty of ways to prevent and treat them! By following the methods outlined above, you'll be on your way to achieving clear, gorgeous skin in no time!
