Simple Acne Solutions

There’s nothing more suffocating for the skin than having clogged pores. Whether they’re whiteheads or blackheads, it’s unpleasant to see skin impurities that prevent your skin from breathing and letting body or facial waste out. Clogged pores are caused by excessive production of sebum by the skin. If your hormones act out and fluctuate, or if your daily diet is filled with mostly fatty and greasy food, then your skin’s sebaceous glands produce more oil than expected. When your skin is too oily, there will likely be bacteria build up and thus your pores get blocked. If they’re partly clogged and darkened then you have blackheads. But if your pores are completely covered, then you have whiteheads. Both kinds of impurities, if left untreated, could lead to the outbreak of acne.

There are several ways to deal with pore clog up, both with cleaning solutions and medications.

The first thing you should put in mind is to wash your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser. Pay attention to your skin time because the type of cleanser you’ll need depends on whether you have dry, oily or combination skin. It would be better if you chose a foaming facial wash or a facial wash with micro beads for deep and thorough cleansing. For an even deeper clean, go to the spa and get a facial once a month. The salon or the spa will be able to take off the dirt that you can hardly see with your naked eye.

Another way to clear out pores is to exfoliate or go through microdermabrasion. Both methods will roughen skin a bit and then take away the oil and the excess dirt afterwards. It will also rid your skin of dead skin cells

It is also good to put on a soothing face mask once a week. This will take out any product residue on your face and it will also absorb excess oil.

If you do not wish to get treated by a dermatologist try using a toner every night after you wash your face. Toners remove dirt and will tighten your pores to keep the bacteria and filth from getting back in.

And to complete your regimen against clogged pores, don’t forget to always moisturize. There is an oil-free moisturizer that leaves your skin smooth but does not leave it greasy. And always re-hydrate your skin with at least 8-10 glasses of water every single day.
