The importance of looking after our pores

When it comes to skin, it’s the health and cleanliness of our pores that can determine the state of our overall complexion.

According to Slick Wellness, it is through these openings that oil or sebum from the sebaceous glands comes to the surface of our skin.

It comes via hair follicles and these hair follicles grow from these tiny openings itself.

The openings extend downward from the epidermis of our skin to several layers of the skin below.

These openings can get clogged due to too much secretion of sebum or with dry and dead skin cells. These also get clogged with normal every day dirt and filth.

These are what clogged pores are and it is really important that you keep these openings clean, as clogged pores usually would lead to blemishes and acne.

Maintaining a good skin care regime can go a long way in keeping these openings free from dirt or grime and can help in preventing formation of blackheads and acne in the future.

Babor’s in-house laboratories have developed a deep-pore cleansing mask that not only has an exfoliating effect but also refines the complexion. Skin is cleansed deep down and refined and has a fresh and rosy appearance.

How to use Babor Cleansing CP Deep Pore Cleansing Mask: Apply a 1 – 2 mm thick layer of cleansing mask to pre-cleansed skin, taking care to omit the eye and mouth areas. Leave on for about 5 – 10 minutes to take effect. Once the mask has dried slightly, moisten your fingertips and use circling movements to work up a lather and exfoliate the skin in Step 2. Finally, rinse the mask off with lukewarm water. Use once or twice a week.
