Preventing Clogged Pores
Wash Your Face Regularly With A Mild Facial Cleanser
Cleaning in the evening before going to sleep provides the ideal opportunity to remove cosmetics, soil and oil that has built up throughout the day.
Apply a mixture of cleansing agent and warm water onto your face, paying particular attention to areas around and under your eyes.
Always avoid applying cleanser or body wash all over the body because this could irritate and inflame skin cells.
Consider using makeup remover wipes or a wash designed specifically to remove cosmetics if your typical facial cleaner leaves behind signs of cosmetics residue.
Exfoliate Your Face 3 Times Per Week To Keep Your Skin Healthy
Reducing wrinkles and unwinding knots with regular shedding sessions will help prevent skin breakouts, reduce kinks, and psychologically condition your pores so they’re less likely to clog in future.
Be careful when peeling under your eyes to protect the delicate skin around that area.
Change Your Pillowcase Once Per Week
Your pores could be being blocked due to oil and debris on your pillowcase, making breathing harder during sleep time than necessary. Switching it out once every week might help decrease how much oil and dirt gets onto eyelids during restful slumber.
Use a hypoallergenic cleanser when washing your pillowcase to avoid allergies.
Consider switching to a luxurious silk pillowcase as it won’t accumulate as much dirt and oil than other textures do.
Avoid Switching Out Your Facial Care Products Too Often
Changes in skin care products may also contribute to blocked pores. Stick with what works for you and do not try out new ones regularly.
If your current skin care products seem to be contributing to skin problems, it might be worthwhile to try something completely new – just make sure not to change from product to product too frequently!
Change of products may cause temporary increases in breakouts; this should not exceed four or five months and a half. If it persists beyond this point, the new item could be worsening your situation and should be tested against alternatives before considering switching again.
Avoid Switching Out Your Facial Care Products Too Often
These spots could be caused by milia, which occurs when dead skin cells get caught underneath the skin and collect. Though often misinterpreted as blocked pores, milia need to be addressed through treatment methods specifically targeted towards them.[14]
Home remedies exist for eliminating milia on various parts of your face, however this should never be done around your eyes.
Scrubbing your eyes less can often prevent milia from forming.[15]
If extraction doesn’t work, your primary care physician may suggest using a retinol product to keep milia from returning.
