Your pores can become clogged with dead skin, oils, yeast, and more, and lead to blackheads, whiteheads, and other acne issues. Winter may worsen clogged pores, as drier skin leads to more oil production.

The most important thing to remember is to leave your pores alone. Squeezing them, popping pimples, or otherwise manipulating blemishes will make things worse. You can use over the counter retinols to help dry out spots, but otherwise let the skin heal itself as much as possible.

Kindred Hair and Skin Center can help unclog pores using HydraFacial technology.
