TODAY’S TOPICS

First of all don’t forget to join my giveaway of the fabulous :

BHA, Zinc Oxide, Bentonite Clay and Ghassoul Clay are your best allies in this neverending fight against blackheads. Forget about blackheads patches and weird natural remedies, they don’t work. BHA (salicylic acid) is a skin exfoliant with anti-inflammatory & antibacterial proprieties. It unclog pores, tighten enlarged pores, reduces redness (rosacea) and minimizes sebum production. It is ideal for all skintypes as it is very gentle and not irritating. Among all the anti-blackheads and pores-tightening skincare products I have tried in my whole life serums with 2% BHA are the ones who work best against those kind of annoying skin troubles.
Bentonite Clay and Ghassoul Clay are also two excellent ingredients against sebum, blackheads, enlarged pores and acne but I find them less effective than BHA and great only as wash-off masks.
I’ve been using the Paula Choice 2% BHA Liquid for about six months now and my blackheads reduced by 90%, which is huge since my blackheads are deeper than the bottom of the sea and my pores larger than Texas.

A lot of wash-off masks against blackheads are available on the market but I find these three particularity effective.

 – Laneige Mini Pore Waterclay Mask 

–Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Mask

The three of them contains pretty much the same ingredients but they are a little bit different. The Mamonde contains a few anti-aging ingredients and is less drying & more brightening than the Innisfree, while the Laneige is a little bit more moisturizing than both the Mamonde and the Innisfree. All three of them provide excellent results and are perfect for all skintypes, including sensitive ones.
