How to get glowing skin by opening your pores

Let's say that before reading my first tip, called No to Make Up, you have already been applying make up naturally. Do not fret, there is still a way to reduce the damage and try to fight your way to a naturally glowing skin.

As I have discussed in the past tip, putting make up means contaminating your skin with hazardous chemicals. If you do not clean your face well, you will end up with those chemicals, still lodged in your pores until you are old enough to pass away. Anyway, one sure fire way of cleaning your pores is to expose them to heat.

Here's what you can do:






Heat water up to the point before it becomes unbearable to touch.

Dip a small or large face towel in it and let the water soak the towel.

After the towel is all dampened up, take it out of the water and let it cool for a bit.

When the time comes when you are able to put it on your face, do so.

Let it stay there for a couple of seconds; 1 minute is my personal preference. This will open up your pores and make your face more available to cleaning.

Be sure that you have washed your hands thoroughly before doing this as we cannot risk infecting your pores with bacteria.

Once you have had enough, take of the towel by either wiping it off your face or by lifting it. It won't make a difference anyway.

You can now proceed to clean it with a facial cleanser of your choice. If you do use a facial cleanser with alcohol content, the alcohol will close the pores for you. This uses the same logic as when you put aftershave after you shave.

Side note: For the men, this is also a good method to use when you are shaving. By opening up your pores, it makes shaving much more easier.

Remember, be sure to always, always clean your face after wearing making up as this will lessen the harmful effects of the chemicals in the make up.
