Pores on your face can get clogged with oil, dry skin cells, and everyday dirt and debris you encounter when you're out in the world. Clogged pores left untreated can lead to blackheads and acne, so it's important to clean them often. Follow the four essential steps and techniques for unclogging your pores: deep cleansing, steaming, and using a facial mask and professional serum and moisturizer.

1 Deep cleanse your face weekly

Washing your face seems pretty simple, right? You’ve been doing it your whole life and, well, your face is still attached so what’s the big deal?

The issue is that you can cause more harm than good if you don’t do it right, and that can result in some pretty significant issues, like congested skin, blemishes, acnes, dryness, dullness, irritation and premature sagging and wrinkles.

Start the unclogging process by washing your face and perform weekly deep-cleansing. We all cleanse our face every day. It is a normal routine. However, do you know that weekly deep cleansing is equally important and it acts as a spring-cleaning to your skin?

Deep-cleansing helps to remove excess oil and dirt within the pores and along with dead skin cells to give the skin a smoother texture and healthy glow. We are all well aware of the importance of weekly facial mask but this deep cleanse concept is the fundamental prior to the next step of facial mask. You need to look for a skincare brand that has the ability to respect the balance of skin flora while truly lifts impurities from the skin. Gentle Deep Pore Cleanser by Institut Esthederm has a creamy texture which brings a unique quality to the product. When the skin is massaged, this supple cream thickens, resists and clings to the skin, effectively absorbs and eliminates impurities deep within the pores. It is very gentle and does not cause any irritation. After rinsing off, your skin’s texture is refined, blackheads are less visible, and skin is instantly cleaned to reveal a fresh and radiant complexion that everyone will fall in love with! You just need to do once or twice a week, it’s that simple!

2 Unclog Your Pores with Steaming

Sorry, folks, but you can skip rituals like massaging your face to increase circulation or splashing with cold water to "close" your pores. "Pores don't open and close," says dermatologist Dr. Jeanine Downie, from Montclair, New Jersey. In fact, extreme hot or cold can exacerbate problems like rosacea and redness. That said, mild steam can help soften hardened oil in pores, so it's never a bad idea to cleanse in the shower.

You can also prepare a bowl of hot water, then lace a towel over your head and lean over the steaming water. Tent the towel over your shoulders and the pot so that the steam is directed to your face. Let the steam soak into your face and pores for ten minutes. It's also important to avoid over steaming, which can lead to your skin drying out regularly and then over-oiling to make up for the dryness. Only steam your face once a week or so, after a proper cleansing, for a period of 5-10 minutes.

3 Use a Facial Mask

Masks can be used to moisturize, detoxify, increase circulation and replenish nutrients. But above all, they add an extra dimension to the skincare routine, and they are truly pampering. But why do so many people neglect this pampering and beneficial product? Because it takes time—most masks need to remain on the skin for about 15 minutes. Now, you can have many choices of facial masks in the market, from cream mask, paper mask to leave-on mask. You have to know your skin condition and what you want to achieve in order to select the right mask. For those people who wants to unclog their pores, remove impurities and at the same time leave a baby-tender skin with a healthy glow and even complexion, you can opt for Lightening Buffing Cream. The cleansing power of this lavish cream mask and grain-free scrub in an incredibly gentle formula which respects the balance of skin flora, will not irritate the skin or cause any inflammation. Just apply in a thick, even layer to the whole face, neck, and décolleté. Leave on for 3 minutes then just gently scrub off and rinse off. It immediately eliminates dead cells, refines the skin’s surface and tighten the pores, leaving you with an even and luminous complexion.

4 Apply Professional Treatment Serum and Moisturizer

All of us need the “treat” to the skin to boost the skin cellular ability and increase our skin immune system in order to maintain a long-term healthy skin condition. Most serums are water-based treatments which contain a much higher concentration of active ingredients and nutrients such as Vitamin C, E and K. The molecules in serums are smaller than those in a moisturiser, giving them the ability to penetrate through the pores and deep beneath the skins epidermis absorbing all those good ingredients and nutrients deep within the skin’s layers, where it is needed most. It works deep within cells to control and re-balance cellular energy. While moisturisers are designed to give the epidermis more hydration in order to maintain a healthy complexion.

When coupled together, serums and moisturisers act as the perfect blend to improve your skin exquisitely. This great ‘tag team’ allows those much needed nutrients to soak deep into the skin’s layers through the use of serums, while the moisturiser hydrates the outer layers of the skin. When your skin is re-balanced and at PH5.5, your skin is at a good skin ecosystem which you will greatly enjoy a smooth, healthy and youthful skin, forever.
