"Achieve poreless, glass-like skin" is a popular phrase often promoted by beauty influencers on social media. But is it truly possible to have skin that resembles glass and is completely poreless? Let's delve into the basics of pores and explore realistic ways to achieve a flawless complexion.
Pores are tiny openings in the skin that allow sweat and oil to be released from the glands. They play a crucial role in regulating body temperature through sweating, removing toxins from the skin, and maintaining skin hydration and health. The concept of "removing pores" or "eliminating pores" isn't practical or advisable. We do believe thou, that the real issues is not to remove pores but to tighten enlarge pores.
As we go about our daily lives, factors such as smoke, wind, dust, and the use of makeup to conceal skin imperfections contribute to clogged pores. Additionally, if you frequently touch your face or rub your skin with your hands, the oil from your hands can also clog pores.
Our skin continuously renews itself by producing new cells. If dead skin cells and dirt are not removed properly, they can accumulate on the skin's surface. This buildup can result in dull skin, clogged pores, and a rough, uneven texture.
We all aspire to have flawless skin and often rush to buy products aimed at brightening the complexion. However, it's important to understand that while investing in products to brighten and smooth your skin is beneficial, addressing the root causes of your skin issues is crucial for achieving your skin goals.
If you struggle with bumpy, rough skin texture and enlarged pores, you might be tempted to spend a lot of money on trendy skincare products while neglecting essential steps like exfoliation. Some people also believe that a minimal skincare routine is sufficient to achieve their goals, but relying on a toner pad alone to "remove pores" or skipping necessary treatments will not lead to flawless skin.
Here's the reality: clogged pores are a common issue given our current environment. While we can't completely avoid air pollution or exposure to toxins, we can minimize exposure, prevent buildup, and treat the problems that arise.
If you're dealing with clogged pores, avoid attempting extractions on your own. It's best to leave this to professionals, as DIY extractions can lead to inflamed acne and pigmentation (we speak from experience).
Instead, consider these effective home skincare to help unclog your pores:
Reinforced Action! With active ingredients such as salicylic acid 2%, gypsophila extract, lipoaminoacids mild cleansers and micro-grains of rice, the desquacrem forte delivers a deep pore cleansing action, combined with the exfoliating effect of salicylic acid and micro grains of rice.

A Basic Recommended Skincare Routine
Makeup Removal/Cleansing: If you frequently wear makeup, start with a makeup remover or double cleanse your face to ensure no residue is left on your skin.
Toner/Face Lotion: While some may think it's not important, a face lotion or toner is essential. We recommend using a product focused on a single function (rather than a 2-in-1). A toner or face lotion helps rebalance your skin's pH. After cleansing, your skin’s natural lipids are stripped away, so rebalancing is crucial.
Exfoliant: Use an exfoliant once or twice a week (not daily). Daily exfoliation won't accelerate results but can harm your skin.
Clay Mask: Apply a clay mask once or twice a week or as needed.
Hydrating Serum: Hydration is key to minimizing the appearance of fine lines and maintaining smooth skin texture. Keeping your skin hydrated is different from merely keeping it moist.
Moisturizer: A moisturizer is crucial for locking in moisture. Without it, your skin can become dry and dehydrated, which may lead to increased oil production and clogged pores.
SPF 50: Even if you’re not keen on skincare, applying SPF 50 is essential. It helps prevent premature aging and reduces the risk of skin cancer.
