Skincare for Clogged Pores & Blackheads
What causes clogged pores?
Clogged pores form when excess oil and dead skin cells collect inside the pores. They may appear as blackheads, whiteheads or small areas of uneven texture, particularly around the nose, chin and forehead.
A consistent routine with effective cleansing and one carefully chosen pore-focused treatment can help keep congestion under control and make pores appear less noticeable.
How to care for congested skin
Start with a suitable cleanser to remove daily build-up, make-up and SPF. Follow with one targeted exfoliating product, such as a pore pad, toner or serum, according to its directions.
Avoid combining several acids, scrubs and exfoliating cleansers in the same routine. Over-exfoliation can leave the skin feeling dry, tight or uncomfortable. Complete your routine with lightweight hydration and daily SPF.
Pores cannot be permanently opened, closed or removed, but consistent skincare can help keep them clearer and improve their visible appearance.
