Using an exfoliant sponge is a great way to get all of that dirt and grime out of your pores! "It will help exfoliate stubborn dead skin cells and debris from the surface of your skin so your cleanser can get a little bit farther into your pores," says dermatologist Dr. Cynthia Bailey.
Parsley is actually a great item to use for unclogging your pores. It's known to strip toxins right out of your pores and get rid of any dirt and debris causing irritation to the skin.
Try adding parsley to boiling water and let it soak until the water cools down. Then, dip a wash cloth in the water and apply it to your face for a few minutes. After that, your skin will be unclogged and fresh!
