10 Pore-Clearing Masks That Won't Dry Out Your SkinClean out your pores without compromising your skin |
Even if you're lucky enough to have beautiful skin, chances are you're still met with at least a few visible or clogged pores. You might wonder why the heck pores even exist if they cause so much trouble, but they do actually serve a purpose. Your pores act as tunnels that can release sebum to help lubricate skin and keep it healthy (yes, sebum can be good!). Issues occur when you have too much sebum.
An overproduction of sebum can lead to pores becoming clogged, making them look darker and larger. It can also lead to acne (whiteheads, blackheads, cystic acne, you name it). The solution? Make sure you clear the skin of unwanted dirt, oil and makeup and use a cleanser or toner that targets the issue, along with a pore-clearing mask a couple times a week.
Masks are a potent way to deep clean pores. So potent, in fact, that some pore-clearing masks can leave skin dry or flaky. The key is to look for masks that contain nourishing and hydrating ingredients to keep skin balanced. To help you get started on your (sometimes frustrating) pore-clearing adventure, we've rounded up 10 must-try masks that will unclog your pores while nourishing skin.
