Keeping Your Pores Clean Is a Must

Posted by Anthony Daley on September 12th, 2016

You should keep your skin’s pores as clean as possible for several reasons. First, your skin will be better able to absorb the anti aging skincare products applied on it when its pores are clean (i.e., free of blackhead and whiteheads). Second, you will love smoother and suppler and, thus, younger-looking skin because there are no clogged pores to mar its beauty.

But before applying any product and making any action on your clogged pores, here are a few things that you must know first. Keep in mind that your haste can easily lead to regrets, such as when your clogged pores become infected (i.e., pimples). You want to take better care of your skin, not hasten its fall into premature aging.

Know the Causes Behind Clogged Pores

You must first know the root causes of clogged pores before you can take appropriate action, a reasonable sequence of events that will benefit your skin over time. Your clogged pores may be caused by these causes:

The oil naturally produced by the skin becomes blocked in the pore usually by the presence of dead skin cells, which failed to normally shed.

The pores become blocked by skincare products containing petrolatum and mineral oil.

Whiteheads are the small and white bumps under the skin while blackheads are enlarged pores containing oil, which has oxidized from air exposure causing them to turn black.

Now that you know the causes, you can easily find the solutions. For example, you should exfoliate your skin on a regular basis, usually twice a week, and stop using skincare products with mineral oil and petrolatum. Instead, you can use Sans Soucis natural skin care products, such as the Sans Soucis moisturiser, since these are made from thermal spring water, among other safe, effective and organic ingredients.

Perform Manual Extractions

You may also consider manual extractions of the whiteheads and blackheads marring your skin’s beauty. You can do the task on your own, you will find several how-to guides with tips like using nose strips, exfoliating with facial exfoliator containing round beads, and keeping your hands and face clean before manual extraction, among others. You should never pick at your skin since it can lead to infections, which means a worsening of your skin condition.

You may also use pore-clearing products with salicylic acid, which has been scientifically proven to smoothen the skin while also clearing out its impurities. Just be sure to ask your dermatologist about the safety and efficacy of these products especially when you have sensitive skin. You may also ask for professional extraction with your dermatologist, if and when your clogged pores are getting out of hand.

Of course, the best way to fight the signs of premature aging including the appearance of clogged pores are to eat a healthy diet, exercise on a moderate basis, and get plenty of sleep, as well as adopt a sensible skincare program. You should always clean, tone and moisturise your face two times daily as well as exfoliate on a regular basis.  Your diligence will be rewarded with smoother, suppler and sexier skin!
