The key to unclogging pores and getting rid of blackheads? Good old chemical exfoliation. "There are products that you can use to help emulsify and clean out your pores," Koro said. "In my treatment room, I like to use salicylic and glycolic acid a lot. They're both amazing ingredients, and they help to keep your pores clean."
Chemical exfoliation — which uses acids to help exfoliate the surface of your skin to remove dead skill cells, oil, and debris — is not only the key to deep-cleaning your pores, but also achieving a radiant, glowing complexion. "Keep in mind, you have to remove that dead skin so that your serums and your moisturisers can actually penetrate through, versus just sitting on top of a bed of dead skin."
