One of its functions is to eliminate a portion of the body's waste products through sweating. If toxins escape through the skin they disrupt the skin's health integrity. This is one of the key factors behind many skin disorders including acne. If the pores become clogged, the microbes that are involved in causing acne flourish. Once you've cleaned your skin, it's time to work on fighting pimples before they start.
Pimples begin when oil and dead skin cells get trapped in pores.
So you've got to use products that work inside the pores to help keep them clear. The key is regular daily usage even when your skin looks great. Only using this stuff when you get a pimple won't do your face justice. Try using OTC Vanishing Creams. They absorbs excess oil and are clinically proven to help prevent breakouts.
