This is step one. 

Think about it: with all the skincare products we put on our skin, natural occurring sebum and other pollutants in the air, our pores are bound to get clogged. 

When you’ve got dry skin, your body may try to make up for it and overcompensate by producing more oil, which can clog pores. 

Touching your face constantly introduces plenty of bacteria and can lead to clogged pores. 

We don’t care how many skincare stories you’ve read, do not try to extract pores on your own. 

Even if you’ve got clean hands, constant prodding and touching of your skin could potentially irritate and stress skin out even more. 

Given all the products we put in our hair (loads of dry shampoo, loads!), it’s funny how most of us don’t make a better effort of leaving our hair. 

When sleeping, make it a point to keep hair out of your face with a scarf.
