Blocked Pores & Congested Skin

Blocked Pores and Congested Skin:

​

Blocked pores and congested skin often result from the accumulation of excess oil, dead skin cells, and impurities in the pores. This can lead to the formation of blackheads, whiteheads, and an uneven skin texture. Factors such as improper skincare, environmental pollutants, and hormonal changes can contribute to pore blockages and congestion.

​

Description:

• Blackheads (Open Comedones): Pores filled with oil and dead skin cells that oxidize and turn dark when exposed to air.

• Whiteheads (Closed Comedones): Similar to blackheads, but the pore opening is closed, causing the contents to remain white or flesh-coloured.

• Congested Skin: Refers to an overall appearance of clogged and enlarged pores, often accompanied by a bumpy or uneven texture.

​

​

Before undergoing any beauty treatment, it's essential to consult with a qualified skincare professional or dermatologist to determine the most suitable options based on your skin type and specific concerns. Additionally, maintaining a consistent at-home skincare routine with hydrating products is crucial for long-term skin health.
