In this post, I will share my current favourite products for cleansing and removing those blackheads and keep your pores clean.
Here is my list and best products I’ve tried and would recommend for clean pores and smooth & flawless skin!
I have a normal and a little bit sensitive skin with some really annoying T-zone black dots as almost everyone does. Here is what helps me to minimise the pores and the appearance of the blackheads!
1. Etude House Baking powder BB face wash
2. Clinique toner for the normal skin
3. Sticky stripes for T-zone
4. Egg pore tightening mask, Tony Moly
T-zone pore minimizing mask. Use it after pore cleaning, for example with special nose sticky stripes. To tighten your pores, reducing the appearance and blackheads treatment and prophylaxis.
5. Eisenberg facial mask
6. Sanctuary scrub
Soft scrub to remove dead cells is crucial for healthy skin colour and cleans pores.
7. Clinique Pore serum
Hello ladies,
here is an update from ‘back to the future’ in July 2018 :)
I wrote this post 4 years ago and I still use and totally love these products:
Baking powder by Etude House
One love!
I bought it probably 5 times since then, I switch to other ones to try something new but always come back to this one eventually.
Clinique Pore Solution
It is still with me.
I do not use the Sanctuary scrab any more, but I have also tried another product by Sanctuary brand – warming detox mask. First, you gently massage it into your skin and then leave it for 5 minutes and rinse. I love the effect and how it refines and cleans the skin.
I normally use the cleansing anti-blemish Biore toner.
I keep two toners on my vanity shelf – one moisturising for normal skin type and another one for blemish control. I use or another one and alternate depending on how my skin looks and feel.
I have also tried Glam Glow Youth Mud Tingle Exfoliating mask and I love the results. It is a little pricey and I use it once in a while before the events or when my skin has many breakages, looks dull and needs to be revived asap.
One a week you may need using any mud musk from a local pharmacy, any mud musk can work well.
Ensure to moisturise the skin after any mud mask and use the softening and moisturising treatment generously, or wear a mask sheet for about 15 minutes.
I will also mention my Benefit Poreficial that for some reason I do not really use, perhaps, as I do not have very enlarged pores and I do not really see any effect. I think this product you need to use to conceal to mask your problem, but not to treat it, while the products in this list here are great to fight and prevent your pores enlargement and blackheads. I have tried using it for a several time, but I did not really understand the hype about it. Maybe it’s just not my thing.
I cleanse my pores properly and I do my best to eat healthy, so I do not need to cover the pores…
When it already happened
If your pores are already clogged and you have an acne problem and pimples all around – here is where heavy artillery comes to work!
Try Body Shop Tea Tree treatment mask – you can use it locally on the problem spots or on your T-Zone, or on the full Face. I would not recommend using it often if you have a normal or dry skin, but only time to time. I think it also fights any bacterias and calms any skin inflammations down for sure. I re-purchased it many times and I am a loyal fan to it, because it really works for me.
Keep in mind an idea that your skin imperfections may be caused by dehydration and a bad diet. Ensure to moistorise your skin properly, eat clean and healthy, try to experiment with your diet and exclude diary and coffee and see what works better for you.
PS: this post is not sponsored and I have purchased all these products.
If anything is ever sponsored in my blog I only share my personal honest opinion after I used a product for a while.
