Me too, because I didn't remove my make up properly. *Regret*
I'm considering facial.. Hmm, maybe you can read the reviews of some facial salon before going

Me too! Lately I've been getting some big red bump & some clogged pores on my face. For those big red bump I just use FOTE aloe vera gel to reduce the redness. As for clogged pores I just use pimple cream which contain BP over it.

Use mud mask at least once a week to cleanse the pores! I am using Edom dead sea mud mask and my skin feels clean and smooth after each use coze it also exfoliates. Whenever I have pimples, i dab a bit of the mask on the pimple and leave it on overnight.

maybe the therapist didn't do a good job on extraction and it actually worsen your condition?
first you might wanna find out why the sudden increase in breakouts.
did you change to a new skincare/cosmetic range recently? if you did, you might wanna stop using them, unless (for skincare's case) it's already stated to have a purging effect then you shld continue usage until the recommended period.
or have you been staying up late at night or increased intake of heaty/fried food? (these two are my skin killer)
have you been drinking sufficient water lately?
or is it pure stress?
breakouts on your forehead suggest stress.
those on your upper cheek suggest weak lungs
those on your lower cheek suggest digestive problems.
on your jawline is hormonal...
and i forgot what those on your chin suggest....
i've tried the zamian gold cacao pack wash off mask and it helped control my breakouts alot.
pm me if you wanna know more... =)

did you change your skincare or use a new product recently? what about your makeup removal or makeup tools?

breakout on cheeks may also suggest that the facial wash/cleanser that you are using is not suitable for you. i wouldn't recommend exfoliating with you current skin condition.

i hope your skin improves soon

Can pimple cream cure clogged pores too? O_O

honey01: I'm not very sure if pimple cream helps in clogged pores. But for me, I just prefer to apply some pimple cream on those clogged pores. Exfoliating & AHA helps in clogged pores too.

honey01: Don't apply too much pimple cream... it only dries up the surface instead of removing the gunk from inside the clog pores. Try using a clay mask to draw out the impurities... else, time to hit the doctor's/ dermatologist.

Ohhh alright thanks!

I've been using clay mask but the result is not very obvious. Maybe i'll try for a longer period of time and see whether it works or not. Thanks for the advice!

hey honey, try not to change products or to use too many different products at 1 go.

I use to have the same problem but now i've cut down on using too much facial products and changed to a no frails brand - and probably less 'sophisticated' type of skin care regime. (",) I've even stopped going to facial salons.

i've been on the same regime for 5 years - no bumps/no pimples any more. Well, if there are signs of one coming, it goes off quickly when i just leave slightly more BHA cream on affected area.

There's this site that you may want to explore :
http://www.paulaschoice.com/ -
i find the tips there really interesting and really useful. I try to abide by it and so far so good. You don't have to purchase their products just read the articles. (",)

of course - sin #1 sleeping with makeup on. (",)

thought I'll share my usual facial regime each time i wash my face or if i need to hit nap :
1) cleanse
2) tone
3) moisturize. (I use BHA cream)

i also try to do a weekly mud mask at home. (I use the brand AVAHA- dead sea mud). But as i'm a mummy of 2 - i hardly have time to do it and it can drag till 3 to 4 weeks before i can do my next mask. (",)

Hope my sharing helps (",)

clogged plugs are pimples, is it correct?

[RetroBling]

i guess clogged pores and bumps are the ever-staying enemy for us girls who use makeup all the time

i just started on the pore care package from fancl (pore essence, skin renewal pack and sebum care pack) hope to see good results soon!

clogged pores are not the worst. the protruding ones are the worse. saw the 3D clogged pores on my friend's skin. really horrifying. i think the weather towards complexion in singapore.
