so if i open my pores by using boiling water and let the steam hit my face, can i use my proactive steps after instead of using water to close the pores ??? Witch way is better to keep the bacteria and pores not unclogged ?Boiling water / pores?
Using steam to open pores is very damaging for your skin. And ProActive isn't the best way to get rid of acne, either. Instead, try this:
First -- stop using bar soap. The stuff that holds bar soap together (including clear bars) will clog your pores. Get a face cleanser that isn't greasy. If it leaves a film on your face after rinsing with water, it's too greasy.
Second -- Get a 1-2% BHA product. BHA is a chemical exfoliant, and it will dissolve the oil in your pores so that pimples don't start. Apply in the morning. More info on BHA here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article鈥?/a>
Third -- Either use pure tea tree oil or benzoyl peroxide on areas prone to breakouts at night. Be careful with benzoyl peroxide as it will bleach clothes and hair.
Fourth -- don't use a really greasy moisturizer/foundation, and make sure the bottle says ';non-comedogenic';. This means it won't clog your pores.
Finally, if you do all this for two weeks and it doesn't get better, see a dermatologist.
