Anyone know of a good pore-cleansing facial exfoliator/mask?

I need one that cleans pores out really well. And one that actually works! I%26#039;ve tried quite a few but they didn%26#039;t live up to their promises. I also live in Canada, so it needs to be a product they sell here. Thanks for your suggestions!|||I live in a really hot %26amp; humid climate where pores clog all the time. The best I%26#039;ve tried is Skinceuticals Clay Mask. Seems to declog everything and get rid of flaky skin from sun damage. Try their website or Google for a place to buy online.|||i use dove exforliater it works great|||How about making your own? It%26#039;s convenient, economical, no chemicals, etc.


Exfoliator - You can use any of these with olive oil instead of water if your skin is dry or flaky:


*Baking soda, mixed with your favorite facial cleaner. Soaps and creams both work well. Use about a half teaspoon of baking soda in the palm of your hand, then mix the facial cleaner into it. Gently scrub your face with this mixture, then rinse off. For creams that you%26#039;re supposed to remove with tissue, tissue the mixture off, then follow with a warm water rinse.


*Corn meal makes a gentle and extremely frugal exfoliator for your face or all over. Mix it with just enough water to make a paste for your face, then wash with it. For your body, make a suds on a washcloth or sponge, then sprinkle corn meal over that and wash.


*Salt is harsher but quite frugal for this, so use it sparingly, but use it fast, as it dissolves quickly in water.


*Sugar is also used as an exfoliator and does a wonderful job. Again, use it quickly to prevent it from dissolving before you%26#039;re finished.





Masks - Use oatmeal (instant or quick cooking), blended to a powdered state, then mixed with just a little water and any of these:


*vinegar or lemon juice, pureed cucumber or strawberries to help lighten and even skin tone


*milk to soothe and smooth


*egg yolk to tighten and cleanse pores and soothe dry skin


*milk of magnesia to absorb excess oil


*honey to help acne|||To exfoliate take some lotion %26amp; add table sugar. It works great %26amp; its cheaper than buying it.|||As a beauty consultant for Mary Kay cosmetics, I recommend for you; Timewise 3-N-1 Cleanser.
