Due to various environmental pollution, urban people like you and me are generally troubled by pore problems. No matter how diligent we are in cleaning or how timely we use deep cleansing masks, blackheads and dark spots always seem to persist. The issue of enlarged pores also becomes more noticeable with aging. How can we effectively deal with deep cleansing to achieve the best results? And what are the top concerns about cleansing for beauty experts?
To achieve optimal deep cleansing results, it is essential to first understand the characteristics of the deep cleansing products you use and your personal skin type. Generally speaking, clay cleansing masks have strong cleansing power, but due to their powerful cleansing effects, they are not suitable for sensitive skin. It is also not recommended for normal and oily skin types to use them daily; using them 1 to 2 times a week is sufficient. On the other hand, sheet masks with cleansing and purifying bamboo charcoal ingredients have a milder nature and can be used daily or every other day without irritating the skin. Of course, the frequency of use should be based on your skin condition and the ingredients of the product, as excessive cleansing can disrupt sebum secretion and lead to skin imbalance.
If you have a makeup habit, you cannot just use makeup remover products to replace the basic cleansing process. Whether you are using makeup remover oil, makeup remover milk, or makeup remover wipes, their main function is to dissolve makeup, not to clean the pores. It is recommended that after removing makeup, use a gentle but less cleansing facial cleanser for a second cleanse to further clean the pores, reduce the chance of residual makeup and oil clogging the pores, and prevent the formation of acne and blackheads.
For enhanced cleansing effects, you may have been attracted by blackhead strips or blackhead suction devices on the market. Indeed, the cleaning power of these products is visible to the naked eye, and blackheads and acne can indeed be stuck or sucked out. However, both of the above products have the potential to stretch the pores, causing the skin to become loose. Deep cleansing can make the skin become increasingly coarse, and the effect is not worth the loss.
