The ideal complexion is hard to achieve but one thing that is necessary for a beautiful and clear complexion is dirt-free, clean skin.

- Cleanse with a quality product
Cleansing is a basic step that you probably already do as a part of your skin care routine. However, you should make sure that you are cleansing your skin twice a day to remove the dirt and contaminants that build up on your face during the day, as well as the dirt that builds on your face as you sleep. Along with this, you should ensure that you are using a product that contains ingredient that have the ability to reach deep inside of your pores and deliver and thorough cleanse.
Solvaderm Skincare makes a product that meets all of these requirements; it is Rejuvoderm face scrubber and cleanser.

It is effective even for those who have troubled acne-prone skin and oily skin. It is fortified with soothing ingredients as well as salicylic acid which purifies the skin and lactic acid which gently exfoliates the skin. It is made without the use of parabens, fragrances, and will not irritate or dry out your skin.
- Remove all traces of makeup
Sometimes cleansing is not enough if you are wearing a full face of makeup or have on waterproof eye makeup. Before you moving on to toning, treating, and moisturizing your skin you need to ensure that you have removed all traces of makeup from its surface. This may sound like a lot more work for you but this doesn’t have to take a lot of time. You can use makeup wipes, which are very convenient because the product is already on the wipe. Or you can use a makeup dissolving cleansing oil to breakdown your makeup and make it easier to remove without scrubbing when you go in with your cleanser.
If you don’t ensure that all of the makeup is removed from your skin and not just some of it the makeup can burrow down into your pores. This could cause future breakouts but the chances of that happening will be significantly reduced if you take this extra step to remove all of the substances that can clog your skin from its surface before you move on to the rest of your skin care regimen.
- Exfoliate often
Another great way to achieve flawless face and dirt free skin is to exfoliate your skin a few times every week. This step will not take you long, but it poses great benefits for the skin. This will help to keep your pores from clogging and it will rejuvenate the surface of your skin by removing damaged dead skin cells and make way for healthy, glowing skin cells to surface.
You can purchase an exfoliator or you can make an exfoliating and calming mask out of oats and milk. The oatmeal holds calming benefits for the skin and the milk contains lactic acid that will gently exfoliate and brighten the surface of your skin. This is also a great option if you have sensitive skin because it doesn’t contain any harsh ingredients.
- Use deep cleansing masks
If you want to get deep inside of your pores and keep them from clogging then masks are you’re friend. They are a wonderful treat for your skin that you can put on and they take minimal effort. All you have to do is apply the mask to the surface of your skin and you let it work its magic. You can read, watch, television, or any number of things while your mask purifies your skin.

- Use products that fight free radicals
You also have to fight the contaminants that you can’t see on your skin like free radicals. Free radicals are harmful molecules in the environment that your skin is exposed to. Although they can affect the skin negatively, you can combat them by using skin care products that contain free-radical fighting antioxidants. You can also add anti-oxidant rich foods to your diet in an effort to strengthen your skin cells against these molecules like berries, grapes, and nuts.
