Hotwaterand
steam help to
openpores.

esarealways open
ereisn’t anythingyo
candoto“open them up”.Pores
aren’ttemperature-sensitive. Hot water
and steam causethesurface of the skin
to swell, making pores appear more open.
It’s better not to use hot water on your
skin, as this strips away essentials oils and
dehydrates your skin. Steaming your face
hydrates the skin although it needs to be
done in moderation because it can cause
inflammation if done too often.

Youcan’tover-exfoliate
because skin is shed
everyday.

e misconception here
t byexfoliating you’re
properlycleansing your skin when
infactyou’restrippingand sensiti sing it.
Washing and exfoliating are two diffe-
rent things. When washing you rely on soap
to cleanse, but when exfoliating you rely on
abrasion. Yes, your skin sheds, but it’s only
necessary to remove dead skin cells every
three days or so. Also, when you exfoliate
don’t use too much force as this will
damageyourskin.

to work their magic.
Serums have active ingredients that lose
