Top Tips on Cleaning Pores

Know your skin type -it is important that you are aware of your skin type and choose pore cleaning methods and products that are best for your particular type of skin. Whether your skin is oily or dry, there is a way to clean your pores that is right for you. Whichever cleansing product you use, remember always to use warm water.

For oily skin – you should use a mild oil free cleanser. You may feel like washing your face all the time to reduce the oily, shiny appearance of your skin but remember, your skin needs its natural oils and lubricants and cleaning your skin in the morning and night-time is sufficient.

For dry skin – a gentle, alcohol-free, cream cleanser will clean your pores without drying out your skin further.

Pore-cleansing masks -It’s a good idea to add a weekly mask to your pore cleaning routine. They have a deep cleansing effect as the mask penetrates into the pores and removes clogged dirt. They usually consist of a creamy paste or gel and may contain vitamins, oils and fruits

Steam cleansing – whatever skin type you have, cleaning pores with steam is free and easy to do in your own home. Holding your face above a bowl of steaming water for about fifteen minutes has the effect of relaxing your skin and opening up your pores. You may choose to add some lavender oil to the water to help relax you. Dry your face off gently with a towel every five minutes and then go back to the steaming bowl. After fifteen minutes, pat your face gently with some cool water and dry off with a clean, dry towel. It is a good idea then to apply a toner to your face that suits your skin type.

Drinking Water Helps With Cleaning Pores

Drinking water – yes it may seem obvious but are you drinking enough water? Be sure to drink around 8 glasses of water each day. This helps flush out toxins from your body that may otherwise be expelled through your skin. Good hydration of the body will help in keeping your pores clean and unblocked and free of spots and skin blemishes.

Remember! Your skin is a living tissue that continues to die and replace itself. By following a routine of cleaning pores on a regular basis, you will maintain the health and vitality of your skin.
