Clogged pores are never a nice phenomenon. I mean, who out there prefers rough, bumpy, spotty skin? It’s not exactly desirable, but if you are suffering congestion, there’s a lot you can do to improve the situation. Luckily, SUZANOBAGIMD™ is on hand to offer her expert advice for decongesting and purifying the skin.
What is congested skin?
Skin congestion is basically an icky build-up of dead skin cells, oil, sweat, dirt, and other impurities.
It’s not just a simple case of dirt or oil though. In fact, congestion can be caused by more complex issues like hormonal fluctuations that occur with periods, pregnancy, polycystic ovarian syndrome, menopause, or thyroid disease. Overactive sebaceous glands, lack of a skincare routine or using ineffectual products may contribute to a congested complexion too.
It might also surprise you to know that some skincare products actually clog up pores. Known as comedogenic, beauty staples like make-up, sunscreen and some face and body creams are often the main culprits.
So, with endless gunk seeping into the skin’s epidermis and dermis, deep cleansing and exfoliation is a necessity when it comes to keeping skin cells clear of blockages and working optimally. Otherwise debris builds up with nowhere to go and spots, pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, enlarged pores or acne develop as well as dull, uneven skin.
How to Treat Congested Skin
It might be time to revamp your skincare routine if you’re suffering the dreaded congestion. First off, sling out any comedogenic products that are still lurking in your bathroom cupboard. Don’t feel guilty, the bottom line is that they’re not doing your skin any favours.
Go for clinically proven non-comedogenic products instead, especially products that decongest and purify the complexion. Using a gentle but powerful cleanser like SUZANOBAGIMD™ Cleansing Wipes will get to the heart of the problem, not only by lifting superficial make-up, dirt, and oil build-up, but also by clearing out deep-seated debris and impurities.
Knowing that this product is hypoallergenic, and dermatologist tested brings welcome peace of mind. Not to mention that the pre moistened wipe is infused with BioDTox, combining a powerful trio of soothing Aloe plus Broccoli and Citrus Bioflavonoids which protect against free radicals and environmental pollutants. It makes cleansing quick and convenient, especially when you’re on the go, like at the gym, when you’re away for the night or after a facial mask.
A balancing toner is another essential step for anyone suffering congested skin. SUZANOBAGIMD™ Balancing Toner is the perfect tonic because it gently restores the skin’s natural pH and minimises the appearance of enlarged pores and oily skin by removing excess oil and impurities.
The signature antioxidant combo of Aloe Polyphenols, Brassica Sulforaphane and Citrus Bioflavonoids plus additional Witch Hazel make an appearance in this formulation, counteracting free radical damage and keeping the skin healthy and youthful.
Excuse the pun, but the next step to achieving clearer skin is a spot of exfoliation. We absolutely love SUZANOBAGIMD™ Intensive Daily Repair, a gently exfoliating daily hydrator.
Suitable even for sensitive skin types, this effective formula harnesses the power of Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs). It’s star ingredient exfoliates dead skin cells from the surface, helping the skin be smoother and more even.
Peptides and antioxidants are also in here to protect the skin from future damage as well as wonderfully calming Chamomile Extract, an excellent soother of stressed and irritated skin. The clever combination of ingredients ensures a healthy skin barrier function, more radiant, smoother, even skin and even a visible improvement to the signs of ageing.
To complete your daily ritual, add SUZANOBAGIMD™ Retivance® Skin Rejuvenating Complex to your evening skincare routine.
This revolutionary product contains Retinaldehyde, a form of Vitamin A that is directly converted into Retinoic Acid by the skin, improving skin firmness, elasticity, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Peptides and antioxidants also work together to enhance results and provide necessary protection against free radicals, whilst soothing chamomile calms irritated skin. Although it might seem like an incredibly strong product, it’s amazingly gentle and great for those with sensitive skin who want to use Vitamin A.
