Whats a good facial scrub or anything that opens up your pores?

I need something to help my face a bit..|||Iam a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.





In my experience of 12 years alot of commercial store bought products DO NOT WORK!





Why do you want to open up your pores? Do you want to unclog the pores?





Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it%26#039;s a broad question!





Your age plays a role! How old are you? Do you always have breakouts?





Clogged pores can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.





If you are a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role.





The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.





The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples%26#039; needs.





Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?

If you want to get in there and clean out your pores, start with warm water on your face because warm water opens them, then wash your face, then rince with cold water to close them up again.|||Biore products are soo good! I love %26#039;em!
