Deep Pore Cleansing

Even if you wash your face every day, it's inevitable that dirt and grime will start to accumulate deep down in your pores. That's why it's important to do a periodic deep pore cleansing treatment. Deep pore cleansing treatments revitalize your skin and prevent breakouts.

Types

To do a deep pore cleansing, use a mask, facial cleanser, toner, strips or pads. There are many recipes out there for homemade deep pore cleansing treatments as well. If you are willing to splurge, many spas offer deep pore cleansing facials.

Function

Deep pore cleansing treatments penetrate your skin deeply to remove the dirt and debris that accumulate in your pores. For the best results, you should do a deep pore cleanse about every other week.

Considerations

Look for deep pore cleansing treatments containing ingredients that will remove dirt and grime from deep down in your pores without drying your skin out. Some sebum-balancing ingredients that are compatible with all skin types include kaolin clay, avocado oil and clary sage.

Effects

Your skin will feel softer and look smoother after doing a deep pore cleansing treatment. Deep pore cleansing treatments minimize pores, control acne, balance sebum and reduce blemishes.

Warning

Don't overuse deep pore cleansing strips because they can irritate your skin and lead to breakouts. Stick with deep pore cleansing treatments that are gentle and natural to avoid drying and irritating your skin.
