Three different ways to clear clogged pores
We’ve all experienced clogged pores—especially from the dreaded maskne that no one seems immune to these days. There are actually different ways to clear your pores, other than using strong chemical exfoliants or ungodly pore strips. So, here are three ways you can clear your clogged pores to get smoother and clearer skin!
Clean those pores out
Most people think of chemical or physical exfoliants when thinking about clearing clogged pores. But did you know that a good first cleanser can unclog and clear your pores? On top of that, a good first cleanse will allow your second cleanser to penetrate deeper into the skin to further clean out your pores.
To effectively unclog pores, you’ll want to have a first cleanser that has ingredients like Heartleaf (Eoseongcho in Korean) AKA Houttuynia Cordata. If you haven’t heard by now, Heartleaf is a plant ingredient gaining popularity in Korean skincare due to its anti-inflammatory and soothing abilities, as well as its anti-bacterial and pore purifying benefits.
The A by BOM Ultra Watery Eoseongcho Cleanser is a buttery cleansing balm that’s formulated with Heartleaf. Thanks to Heartleaf, this A by BOM cleansing balm digs deep into your pores and buffs away all impurities, including makeup, sebum, pollution, and dead skin cells. This pore purifying power may sound like it can strip away moisture and leave your face dry. However, this balm also contains Camellia Oil, Chia Seed Extract, and Green Tea Extract to hydrate, soothe, and condition your skin. So, you are actually left with soft, hydrated, clean, and radiant skin!
Exfoliating and toning pores
If you’re looking for an easy multitasking product for clear pores, exfoliating toning pads are the perfect choice. Just smooth over your face with a pre-soaked toning pad after cleansing. Within days, you’ll start noticing cleaner pores and smoother skin.
The Celimax Jiwoogae Heartleaf BHA Peeling Pads come soaked in Heartleaf, BHA, and Green Tea Water. So these pads are gentle enough to be used as daily toning pads in place of your toner, but powerful enough to deep clean pores and help with sebum control while keeping future acne at bay.
Drawing out impurities
Did you know that clay masks can shrink pore sizes? By drawing out sebum in your pores, clay masks can draw out impurities as the mask dries on the skin.
Get fast pore shrinking results from the newest clay mask on the block: Celimax The Real Noni Refresh Clay Mask. This is a great express product for those who don’t want the mess or hassle that comes with a traditional jar clay mask but want the pore purifying benefits of a clay mask. Why? It comes packaged in a no-fuss tube and the Noni Fruit Extract in this clay mask keeps the clay moisturizing enough for your skin while the clay dries on the surface. This also helps the clay mask easily emulsify or dissolve when washing off with water which causes less irritation—and it’s quicker to wash off than most clay masks.
The Real Noni Refresh Clay Mask is formulated with Kaolin and Bentonite clay which are highly absorbent. This means the clay will absorb all of the excess sebum, dead skin cells, and impurities from clogged pores. Even a 5 minute masking session will clear your pores!
