Ok, weirdly clogged pores?

Um it's not so much zits... It's just that when I feel my skin I can just tell it's clogged, i guess. And (I know I shouldn't do this!) I press on the areas and stuff comes out. I know it's nasty but that's another problem. Anyways why are my pores so clogged? I wash my face and neckline morning and night and use proactive at least once a day. That has helped with most of the acne but yeah...

Reply:take about four aspirin and dissolve them in a few drops of water.. add in a squirt of honey and make it into a paste.. you can also add in a few vitamin e capsules if ya like.. this can be used as a scrub, mask if left on for ten minutes, and a spot treatment left on over night.. it works like pro active.. i've used both and got the same result with each which is clear skin.. pro active dried my skin out too, but aspirin didn't.. it's a lot cheaper also..





oh.. and pro active contains benzoil peroxide.. whereas aspirin contains salicylic acid .. which is common in acne, pore cleaning, and blackhead scrubs..





honey alone as a mask works very well also.. leave it on for twenty minutes..





another thing i do as an exfoliate is i scrub my face with an electric toothbrush.. it's sounds kinda weird but it works.. it really cleans out your pores and removes dead skin, oil and dirt.. you can use any scrub ya like or the aspirin i mentioned.. i like to use st. ives.. and i do it about three times a week..





only wash your face when you wake up in the morning, before you go to bed, and after exercise.. excess washing makes your face produce extra oil..





warm water opens pores and cold closes them.. so wash with warm and rinse with cold..





and watch the make up you use.. a mineral make up is much better for your skin.. it doesn't clog your pores or cause break outs.. i recommend bare minerals..





and get a good toner and moisturizer.. i use the garnier nutritioniste moisturizer.. and lemon juice is a good toner..





drink lots of water.. eat healthy.. and take vitamin e, vitamin c, zinc and b vitamins..





hope this helps..

Reply:Are you washing you face with water? That's not good. It causes your pores to get even more clogged.


And if that's not the case, wait a couple of more weeks. Products take weeks to start working well.


Or...


Buy a pore unclogging product.
