How To Unclog Your Pores

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.

How To Shrink Pores And Why They Get Bigger With Age

If you feel like your pores are getting bigger with age, you are not alone! Indeed, it is a common concern to find out how to minimize pores while fighting the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. But why is it like that? And what is the best skin care regimen to treat both problems at the same time? Here you will find the answers to these questions and let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Aging skin

It's no secret that our skin changes with age – but why is that? Two main factors are a loss of elasticity and a decrease in oil production. With age, the production of collagen and elastin decreases (both are crucial for storage Skin firm and flexible), which leads to less "rebound" of your skin. This is due to hormonal changes and changes in the connective tissue. This is the reason why fine lines become wrinkled and the skin often becomes saggy. Sebaceous glands also produce less oil with age, making your skin look drier, itchier, firmer and feel like it did when you were young. The outer layer of skin (the epidermis) becomes thinner and more sensitive, so that this dry, itchy skin is also more easily irritated by environmental stressors.

Why do my pores look bigger?

How exactly does a decrease in elasticity and oil production enlarge your pores? The pores are also elastic, and when the collagen content decreases, the pores lose this elasticity. As you get older, the skin's natural peeling process Known as desquamation, slows down as your skin dries up. The result is more dead skin cells that sit longer on the surface of the skin and fill pores that are likely to remain stretched.

Aren't you helping this process? Sun damage and sun exposure, which we often see as symptoms of aging skin. How Livestrong points out: “Sun damage creates a cell margin around individual pores. Although this accumulation takes place on a microscopic level, the end result is noticeable … While genetics are responsible for 20 percent of the pore size, sun exposure is a whopping 80 percent. "Eminence Organics Mangosteen Lactic Pro Peel 10%

How do I reduce pores and smooth the appearance of wrinkles?

So what are the main treatments and techniques to minimize pores while reducing the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin? Peeling, sun protection and professional treatments with a beautician are the best choice. To alleviate a slower desquamation process, include a gentle peel in your daily skin care routine, along with professional peels that remove dead skin cells.

We recommend booking a treatment with us Mangosteen Lactic Pro Peel 10%, which is safe for even the most sensitive skin types, minimizes the pore size and leaves the skin feeling deeply conditioned and supple. In addition, you should book a skin exam with a licensed beautician who can create a custom routine with you and address your main concerns.
