How can I prevent clogged pores?

You can help prevent clogged pores by sticking to a skin care routine that’s right for your age, skin type and skin concerns. A dermatologist (medical doctor who specializes in skin conditions) can recommend the right products and treatments.

Other ways to prevent clogged pores include:

• Avoid touching your skin with unwashed hands.
• Don’t use oil on your face, such as coconut oil, olive oil or jojoba oil.
• Exfoliate your skin with gentle scrubbing or periodic chemical peels.
• Keep your skin clean and moisturized.
• Never pick at or pop pimples.
