Useful information
What you need to know about
blockage and inflammation of
the facial sebaceous glands.
Above-average secretion by the
sebaceous glands leads to oily
skin. This over-activity is caused by
hormonal changes, especially
during puberty, inappropriate high-
fat or high-protein diet, excessive
consumption of alcohol, etc.
This over-production of sebum
causes the pores to widen. Oily
skin can have a shiny or dried
appearance, depending on whether
the flow of sebum into the pore has
an oily consistency or has already
dried within the follicle.
Oily skin is usually “impure”,
because it provides an excellent
feeding ground for bacteria. The
oxygen supply within a healthy pore
normally restricts the spread of
bacteria. There is a correlation
between this bacterial spread and a
pore becoming visible to the eye. If
the pore becomes blocked, the
environment becomes anaerobic
(i.e. oxygen-free), ideal for
Propionibacterium acne, which
spreads like wildfire. This leads to
inflammation and blemishes.
Normal pore (Fig. 2-a)
A normal amount of oil is secreted
from the pore.
Blocked pore (Fig. 2-b)
Oil trapped in the pore oxidizes and
solidifies, causing clogged pores
and blackheads.
Blackheads should not be removed
by squeezing with fingertips or
fingernails, as this can damage the
skin and cause further inflammation.
Cleansing two or three times a week
is recommended.
Charging your Pore
Cleanser
Before using the appliance for the
first time please charge it for at
least 12 hours. (Fig. 3)
Place the Charger upright on a flat
surface. Plug the Charger into an
AC outlet. It will adjust automatically
to voltages between 100-240 V AC.
Switch the appliance off and place
it upright into the Charger with the
switch facing toward the front.
When the appliance is placed in the
5
correct position, the charge
indicator light will glow and stay on
until the appliance is removed from
the Charger. You can fully charge
the appliance in 12 hours if it
seems losing its power.
A full charge will supply enough
power for about 20 minutes of usage.
Using your Pore Cleanser
• For best results the pores of the
skin should be enlarged. For this
reason it is a good idea to perform
your skin care routine when taking
your bath as heat from hot water
will enlarge your pores.
• For best results, use the appli-
ance two or three times a week as
part of your skin care routine.
1. Remove any make-up from your
face, leaving just bare skin.
Never use the appliance on
skin coated with cleansing
lotion or facial soap.
2. Add water to the Water Tank.
(Fig. 4)
Unplug the Cap and supply tap
water into the Water Tank, then
replace the Cap.
3. Attach the Wide Cup (
F
a ) to the
Cup Socket, making sure that it
is facing outward. (Fig. 5)
4. Slide the Mist Switch to the “on”
position, then slide the Power
Switch to the “1” position.
• The Mist Nozzle will produce
a fine spray of water.
• If water drips from the face,
wipe it off with a towel or set
the Mist Switch to the “off”
position.
5. Move the appliance slowly
around the tip of the nose. (As
explained below and shown by
Fig. 6.)
• Roughly cleanse the entire
surface of nose without focusing
on any particularly spot.
6. Now turn the Power Switch off
and reverse the suction cup so
that the Point Cup (
F
b
) is facing
outward. Then turn it on again.
(Fig. 5)
7. Move the Point Cup over the
nose in the way described by
the arrows. (As explained below
and shown by Fig. 6.)
8. Rinse your face, and apply
moisturizing lotion or any other
skin conditioner you normally use.
• Keep your face sufficiently
moisturized.
Around the tip and wings of
the nose
(Fig. 6)
1. Move the cup all over the nose.
2. Limit use of the Wide Cup over
the whole nose to one minute
or less.
3. Limit use of the Point Cup to
two minutes or less.
(Do not repeatedly move over
the wings of nostrils where the
skin is thin.)
Use only the Point Cup if you have
concerns about skin irritation.
