Answer 1

Make sure you wash your face every night before you go to sleep and then again in the morning when you wake up. Have a clean face at all times is the key for flawless skin.

Scrubs are good too, but not too much. Only scrub your face 1-2 times a week. If you overscrub, your face will get senstive.

Also, drink lots of water.

I love Biore pore strips, the trick to get the most of the blackheads is to put some charcoal mask on (try Origins) to dry your skin and loosen the blackheads, then wash your face for about 5 minutes with warm water. Finally, put the pore strips on and leave it until it's really hard. Good luck! Oh btw, I use the pore strips for men cuz it covers more area and help clean the skin around the nose as well!

St. Ives has a line of facial scrubs. The apricot one works best for clearing pores and getting the gunk out. After that it's great to use a cleanser to clean deep down in the pores after they are unclogged. Try not to use makeup with oil bases. Covergirl has coverup that is based on water instead.

Answer 4

steam your face. boil a pot of water, remove from heat, get a towel. Put your face over the steam as close as you can, cover head with towel and sit 5-10-15 minutes. This is a great way to clean pores. when water cools down enough dip hands in and rub some on your face, scrub gently with towel, you may wash your face again with some kind of antibacterial soap if you wish, or use some hemrhoidal cream to tighten pores again

Answer 5

Lower your fat intake drastically and your clogged pores will disappear within 2 weeks. A diet like Weight Watchers, LA Weight Loss, etc. will do the trick and if you don't need to lose a few pounds anyway, just eat more of the foods they approve of. Your additional fat should be 2 tablespoons of olive oil, but other than that, eliminate all other dietary fats and you'll be amazed.

Answer 6

Biore strips. They do work. Your pores will get clogged again but it lasts longer than the scrubs.

Answer 7

Hi, If you live in the U.S. or Canada I can recommend a product from a company called Arbonne. The only thing is they only deliver in these two countries. They have a line called Intelligence and my niece who is 23 really likes it. It is a 5 step system,but it really improves the complexion. I personally use their NutriMinC RE9 line and I use to have really big pores, but not anymore. You can view their products in their online catalog at http://www.wonderful.myarbonne.com Good luck to you.

Answer 8

Oh, you mean blackheads? Try Blackhead Remover by Biore. They are adhesive strips that you can peel off your skin. It's supposed to remove the debris from blackheads. You may also consider switching to make-up foundation that is "non-comedogenic" if you haven't already. It means non-pore-clogging.

my skin is super sensitive too.. i still get really bad pimples and (im no teenager) if i dont baby my face.. first of all you might wanna try PROACTIVE i hear its the best thing out there for bad skin

but ive had to go to the natural store to keep my skin pretty much pimple free i buy a natural soap called CALENDULA its a baby soap comes in an orange box.. can check your local natural stor for it i go to DAVIDS NATURAL to buy mine in the MD area.. i wash with that and then use alcohol.. might sound crazy but my skin is so sensitive that i actually have MUCH clearer skin when i wash with the kitchen sink water and not the bathroom. (more chlroine in it which kills bacteria.. theres a stong smell of it thats not in teh bathroom sink water ) might not be a difference in the water where u live but try and see if you get a difference in your skin.
