Question Clogged Pores

What could I do about clogged pores, My problem area's are around my nose and chin. I get what I call white heads in this area, And when I mash them it leaves a little hole my face (my chin is starting to look bad) I just wandered what ideas you might have. Also I use the (wal-mart brand) equate cleanser I know I need to change but I have sensitive skin and somethings break me out. What cleaning products do you prefer?
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Connie in Al.

Re: Clogged Pores

Sounds like you need to get some type of exfoliator to help clean out the pores. For whiteheads/blackheads, use a BHA product (Paula's Choice makes a good one). You can also use a washcloth to manually remove them - say, after a shower - but be careful not to tear the skin. You can also use AHA peels.

If your cleanser is the Equate equivalent of Cetaphil, there's nothing wrong with it - except that if you have oily skin, you may need to get the one for oily skin (Cetaphil makes one, I don't know if Equate does or not).

Something is clogging your pores - perhaps your makeup? You may need to make some adjustments to keep it from happening again, but using a BHA toner will help.

Also, jojoba oil is wonderful for your skin. It balances oil production and won't clog pores - plus it makes your skin really soft. It will also help clear out pores.

Remember - it takes a few weeks for hidden impurities to come to the surface, so you may continue to have whiteheads ot pimples appear even after you start a new regimen.

Re: Clogged Pores

You mentioned that you use the Equate brand, and that you have sensitive skin. So i'm guessing that you're looking for a good, gentle but inexpensive cleanser. I highly recommend Dove bars no matter what price the person is looking to spend because they're a great product. I use the unscented sensitive skin variety. It works great for my dry sensitive acne prone skin. Something gentle that doesn't clog pores is a must for me so this stuff has been great. Super inexpensive too.

Re: Clogged Pores

Hi there!

Another suggestion is to try Neutrogena's Deep Clean Cream Cleanser and their Pore Refining Cream. The refining cream also has an SPF of 15, along with alpha-hydroxy acids and moisturizer.

I had a real problem with enlarged pores, and these Neutrogena products really have remedied the problem. Worth a try anyway! Linda
