It is important to follow this up with a serum to maximize the absorption of the serum.

19. Can we Unclog Pores completely?

You can't really unclog your pores in the sense of emptying out your pores of everything. When we do a facial, we think we are opening up all our pores and getting all the pores cleaned up. However, we are really just scratching the surface of our pores.

The reality is we don't actually need to empty out our pores. It is more about keeping your pores function better.

33.

Mixing Retinol + AHAs or BHAs



Technically, you can mix them together. Retinol helps your body to produce more skin cells, while exfoliation helps to shed excess skin cells.

Using both the same time can be effective, but you are risking over exfoliating your face.

You can use it if you have been using Retinol or Exfoliants for a long time and have not experienced sensitivity.

The best way is to use Retinol one night, and exfoliate the other night. So one day you produce more skin cells, and the other day you shed the excess skin cells. Perfect!
