By: Sheetal Rawal
Have you ever wanted to deep clean your clogged pores in the convenience of your very home? It is a perfectly skin-friendly thing to do between facials. It ensures you keep your skin squeaky clean from the inside out. Also did you know that skin with clean pores absorbs the wonderful products like toners, lotions, serums etc. many times over giving your skin the best results? Also did you know that most of us have clogged pores? Even those of us that do not have acne or enlarged pores? Often impurities, excess oils etc clog our pores, especially in our T-Zones preventing the skin from breathing deeply. And we may not notice this at all.

So here is a very easy procedure to clean those clogged pores. It is amazingly simple and takes no more than 15 minutes of your time.
1. To 1 TSP of any clay add 1/4th tsp of baking soda. Add enough plain yogurt to form a thick paste that is the right consistency to apply on the skin. Set aside to use in a few minutes.
2. Soak a towel in hot water. Wring dry. Wait for it to come down to comfortable temperature, and then cover your face with it for 3-4 minutes. The towel should be a bit on the warm side, but be careful to not scald your skin. This procedure will open your pores.
3. Now get some pure jojoba oil (easily bought at any natural store) and massage your skin with it with firm circular strokes for 5-7 minutes. After massaging, wipe the excess, if any, with a tissue. Jojoba oil goes very deep in your skin and actually begins to dissolve the impurities inside those clogged pores.
4. Now apply a generous layer of the clay+baking soda mixture all over your skin. Clay, as it dries, pulls impurities from deep within your clogged pores, and baking soda dissolves any oils that could be causing clogged pores. Yogurt is wonderfully astringent and great as an exfoliant due to its lactic acid content.
5. After this mask has completely dried, wash off with lukewarm water. Pat dry and follow with a generous amount of your favorite natural lotion or serum, or both.

This procedure is second to none to deep clean those clogged pores. Give it a try for yourself, and yes, please comment about your results. We would love to hear from you.
