I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I’ll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
Are you serious?
In case you are... may I suggest that you cut back on your routine
somewhat? ...considerably?
If you want to cleanse your pores deeply, doing so after a facial ice pack might not be the most productive. An ice pack will close your pores, making them more difficult to cleanse. A deep pore cleanse is more effective after gentle steaming either directly or indirectly such as a hot shower. Or after exercise when your pore have opened due to sweating. Sweating is also an effective way to cleanse and flush out your pores.
Almond / walnut or other ground nut/shell/ husk exfoliating scrubs have a tendency to tear the pores, they are like micro fine shards of glass, which over time will result in permanently enlarged pores. No one wants a face that looks like a golf ball. The best scrubs to use are artificial scrubs with perfectly round beads. They do the job without tearing the pores,
