If you associate deep-cleansing skincare with overpriced products and spa services, think again. In this article, you’ll find out how the Bliss Pore-Fector Gadget works to remove impurities from your skin and help you achieve a flawless complexion. Then, learn how you can incorporate the Bliss Pore-Fector and create a detoxifying facial in your own home with a simple five-step process.

What exactly are impurities?

When we talk about the “impurities” that the Pore-Fector Gadget removes, we’re referring to anything trapped in your pores. If your skin is clogged, it might look dull and lifeless, or you might experience frequent bouts of blackheads and acne. Skin impurities also make it difficult for your skin to absorb skincare products. These culprits can include:

• Dirt and grime that accumulate throughout the day
• Excess oil (sebum), which is often overproduced by your pores
• Dead skin cells that build up when the skin isn’t exfoliated often enough

How the Bliss Pore-Fector Gadget can help

Manual cleansing can only do so much to help remove these blockages from the pores because your ordinary products just can’t penetrate into the skin well enough. The Bliss Pore-Fector Gadget steps in to:

• Fully cleanse the pores. The higher vibrations of the Pore-Fector (27,000 per second!) will help you achieve that clean, smooth complexion you want.
• Help products become absorbed into the skin. The lower speed of the Pore-Fector provides a gentle massaging action that is far more effective than applying moisturizers or serums manually.

How to use the device

Using the Bliss Pore-Fector Gadget is simple and quick – in fact, it takes just a few minutes per use, morning and night, to achieve glowing skin. Just apply a thin layer of Bliss Daily Detoxifying Facial Toner to freshly cleansed skin and turn on the device. Set the Pore-Fector on the higher speed (a red light should appear) and apply pressure in an upward direction to un-clog those blocked pores and remove any oil and debris left after cleansing. Apply any moisturizers or treatments to your face and set the Pore-Fector on the lower speed (the light should be green this time). Use the device until the products are absorbed completely.

Do-it-yourself: Detoxifying facial

The Bliss Pore-Fector Gadget is even more effective when combined with other products to create a detoxifying facial that you can do at home to clarify your skin. Follow these steps for a gentle facial you can do on a weekly basis.

1.Wash face. Your first step is to use a gentle cleanser like Bliss Clog Dissolving Cleansing Milk, which is an effective fix for oily skin and clogged pores. If your skin is on the dry side, a creamier cleanser will suit your skin better – try June Jacobs Creamy Cranberry Cleanser. Cleansing will remove dirt, oils and makeup residue from the skin’s surface and prepare the skin for exfoliation.

2. Exfoliate using the Pore-Fector. First, use a cotton pad to apply the Bliss Daily Detoxifying Facial Toner. Use the higher speed of the Pore-Fector to effectively exfoliate your skin without irritation. Unlike ordinary exfoliating products that physically slough off dead skin cells, the Pore-Fector uses gentle but powerful vibrations to remove impurities and delicately polish the skin and improve how it functions.

3. Open pores. Once your skin is squeaky clean, use a steaming treatment to prepare your skin for your facial mask. The professionals often use steam during a facial, and it’s easy to do at home. Simply fill a bowl full of boiling water and let it sit for a couple minutes until it’s cool enough for you to sit with your head about 10 inches above the bowl. Use a towel over your head to trap in the steam. Let your skin absorb the steam for about 8-10 minutes (or as long as you can stand).

4. Apply a detoxifying mask. Now that your pores are clear and open, it’s a good time to apply your mask. Try Bliss Steep Clean facial mask, which is a treatment ideal for clogged pores and dull skin. It smoothes and brightens the skin and effectively unclogs the t-zone. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse.

5. Massage on treatments using the Pore-Fector. Your skin is now ready to reap the benefits of any treatment products you choose. You can use whatever you normally use on your skin, whether it’s an anti-aging serum or a daily moisturizer, or further the detoxifying benefits with a serum like Bioelements Urban Detox. Turn on the device and set to the lower setting, and then use the device to gently massage in your products.

Bonus massage. You can finish with a mini-massage using a drop or two of a facial oil such as Jurlique Skin Balancing Face Oil. Use your fingertips to gently stimulate and massage your skin, focusing on stressed areas like the cheeks, forehead, mouth and eye area.

Like any skincare device, the Pore-Fector Gadget will be the most effective when used as part of a comprehensive skincare regimen tailored to your skin type. And a little patience will go a long way, too. Make the time to take care of your skin and use the Pore-Fector every day, and you’ll soon be rewarded with noticeably clearer, smoother, more glowing skin.
