Do those large pores on your face drive you nuts?
Are you self-conscious about them?
Do you think they’re really noticeable (even if they may not be to others)?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone in your concerns!
Pores are actually a normal structure in the skin; think of them as an open shaft down into the skin, at the base of which is a hair follicle that grows a single hair (whether it’s visible or not). Each pore also has its own sebaceous gland, producing oil (sebum). Unfortunately, pores can get clogged up with dead skin cells (that line them), dirt, and excess oil, stretching them out and enlarging them. Other factors like sun, genetics, skin type and age can also contribute to enlarged pores.
Instead of constantly thinking about them, try out some effective methods to shrink their appearance. It’s not as hard as you may think. All you need to do is to follow the guidelines mentioned here.
Take a look at some easy-to-do actions to help your skin look flawless.
Throw Away That Magnifying Mirror From The Makeup Cabinet
Take a deep breath and take the magnifying mirror away from your reach!
You don’t need to get worried about their appearance when you have actually decided to move on. Besides, no-one sees your pores as you see them in the mirror. So, your first step is to show optimistic emotional health. Be calm (take a zen moment!) and proceed to the next step.
Use A Chemical Exfoliator To Break Down The Bond Between Dead Cells And The Skin
Chemical exfoliators work magically to remove dead skin, oil, dust, dirt, and other junk from the pores. First make sure to cleanse your skin properly using a quality cleanser such as Ultracleanse. It’s ideal for all skin types, including oily skin. In fact, I think it’s the best facial cleanser for oily skin. A few times a week, also use a chemical exfoliator for an even deeper clean, and to help remove dead skin cells and other debris. Look for one that contains a combination of both AHAs and BHAs such as salicylic acid, to help clear out the pores. Reveal is the perfect example; it’s easy to use and doesn’t require rinsing off. Your skin will look more luminous and pores that have been unclogged will appear smaller.
Add A Retinoid To Your Essential Skin Care Routine
Incorporating a retinoid into your daily routine such as retinol, retinal, and tretinoin is also a good option to get flawless skin. There are many different types of retinoids, but the most effective non-prescription one is retinol. Retinoids contain essential Vitamin A to assist your skin’s turnover process and reverse UV-induced skin damage. If you have aging skin, make sure a quality retinol like Ultimate A serum is a daily part of your skin care, to help to reduce the signs of aging and fine lines.
People with acne problems can reap even more benefits from retinols as they can tighten pores and make them less noticeable. Indeed, retinols are a mainstay in the management of acneic skin and should be used every night before applying a non-comedogenic moisturizer. BrightEnlite milk moisturizer is the perfect choice; not only is it lightweight, but it also contains red clover extract, which reduces oil production from skin sebaceous glands, making pores appear smaller.
Plan A Weekly Skin Care Routine To Nourish Those Pores Well
There are certain approaches you should think about doing once a week in addition to your daily cleansing and regular exfoliating. Your weekly skin care regimen may include using a physical scrub, applying a clay mask, and gently massaging to clean the skin surface and improve outer texture. They will greatly help to minimize the appearance of outsized openings. Skin Elegance carries the Synergie products to do this: MediScrub (non-plastic bead physical scrub) and Detox/Antiox deep purifying clay mask.
Some other DIYs include using an ice bath, apple cider vinegar toner, and home-made face packs to improve the tone and texture of your skin. But, do not forget to moisturize your skin with a quality moisturizer made for your skin type. For example, if you have mature skin, choose one of the best moisturizers for aging skin from a reputable supplier like Skin Elegance. It supplies Synergie Skin’s clean beauty products made for different skin types and concerns.
Wear Sun Protection Every Time You Leave Home:
Too much direct exposure to the sun damages your skin, thickening it and making causing pores larger. In addition, sun damage to the skin’s supporting elastin and collagen will cause the skin to shrink and pull away from the pores’ edges, making them sag and look bigger.
To avoid this problem, make sure to wear sun protection (a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects you from both UVA and UVB sun rays) whenever you go out of your house. Apply the sunscreen under your makeup. I recommend using a non-chemical, physical sunblock like ÜberZinc, that’s kind to your skin and to the environment.

Stick To a Nutrient-Rich Diet Plan for Beautiful Skin
Whatever goes in your stomach can directly impact the appearance of your skin. Experts say, following an anti-inflammatory diet can give you control over the excess production of oil and subsequent pore clogging.
A diet free from sugar, starch, oil, trans-fats, and carbs can help your skin look and feel healthy. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B2, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, selenium, zinc, and potassium can help to detoxify your skin.
