clogged pores

Ask a Skin Care Expert

I'm currently 3 months pregnant and have noticed that the pores on my nose and cheeks are clogged Is there a way that I can clear them at home (trying to save for the baby) or do I need to have a professional facial I have stopped wearing all but tinted moisturizer (Mary Kay brand) with an SPF of 20 That coupled with cleansing and exfoliating has helped me clear up the acne I got in the first few weeks of my prenancy I just want to clear my pores now as I feel like my face is still dirty until I do

Thanks
