Steam for 5 to 10 minutes to open up pores and loosen the plugs clogging the pores. Exfoliate regularly to remove dead skin, sebum and plugged pores. Apply an astringent Lotion or Pore Tightening Toner specially formulated to cool the skin and close the now cleansed pores. This will prevent further development of the process that leads to spots.
