When you think about blockages, your thoughts may go to drains and sinks, but – although faulty plumbing can be alarming – we think there's an even more troubling place for blockages: your pores. These tiny openings on your skin can attract all types of dirt and lead to clogged pores (Livestrong). If you're ready to tackle this common skin care problem and discover a really clean complexion, you'll find one here Eminence Organics Instructions for fighting your clogged pores:
What are clogged pores?
Pores are small spots that you see on your skin, which are actually the openings of the hair follicles. When impurities settle on the skin, an evil mixture of dead skin cells, dirt and oil can penetrate deep into these openings. Pores filled with dirt lead to blackheads – clogged channels that look dark on the surface. You can spot blackheads on the face – especially the nose – but they can also appear on the back, chest, neck, and arms (Healthline).
Do not use pore strips
If you suffer from clogged pores, it may be tempting to resort to options like pore strips, but many beauty experts don't recommend these products for blackheads (Self). These sticky strips can irritate your skin and lead to inflammation, especially for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin types. Although these strips may remove some surface debris, they can also make the problem worse by placing dirt and debris even deeper in the pores. The superficial effect of pore strips that remove skin cells also means that perfectly healthy skin cells are torn away along with dead skin cells.
This is how you clog your pores
If pore strips are not the right choice for you, we recommend three Eminence Organics peels instead:
Strawberry-Rhubarb-Dermafoliant
Our Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant is a favorite of stars like actress Thandie Newton and uses naturally occurring lactic acid and salicylic acid to cleanse your pores thoroughly and remove dead skin cells. Chickpea flour and rice powder gently polish the surface of your complexion and absorb excess oil. No wonder that the Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant was recognized as the best skin care product “Farm To Table” at the NewBeauty Beauty Choice Awards 2017.
