DR RAFFAELLA GABASSI
1.) What pore vacuums are and how they work?
Pore vacuums are handheld devices that use suction to remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from pores. They work by creating a vacuum effect that draws out impurities trapped in the skin. You move the pore vacuum over your face, targeting areas with clogged pores and blackheads.
2.) How to get the best out of them?
Like most things, consistency is key. Regular use of a pore vacuum can help to improve the appearance of pores and will result in clearer, smoother skin.
3.) Which ones do they recommend?
In the UK, some highly rated pore vacuum brands include the Sarah Chapman Skinesus Pro Pore Refiner, Dermapore+ Ultrasonic Pore Extractor, and Personal Microderm Elite Pro.
4.) In addition to using a poor vacuum what else can you do to improve the quality of your skin?
Alongside the use of a pore vacuum, there are several other ways you can improve the overall quality of your skin. This includes:
Cleansing your skin daily with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and impurities.
Exfoliating regularly to remove dead skin cells and to prevent clogged pores.
Using a gentle moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated and balanced.
Protecting your skin from the sun by wearing sunscreen daily.
Eating a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants.
Staying hydrated. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and flush out toxins.
Getting enough sleep to allow your skin to repair and regenerate.
Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, which can have negative effects on skin health.
