So… how to minimize the appearance of pores?
Enlarged pores are a natural part of your skin, while you can’t completely erase pores, you can minimize their appearance with the right skincare routine and habits.
(Technically you can’t erase pores but to minimize them. Keep reading to find out how!)
First, keep your pores clean
Dirt and oil can stretch out your pores, so a proper cleansing routine is essential. Use a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser twice a day to prevent buildup without stripping your skin.
Second, use a BHA (Salicylic Acid) Exfoliant
Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), like salicylic acid, penetrate deep into the pores to dissolve excess oil and clear out congestion. Regular exfoliation helps prevent blackheads and whiteheads, which contribute to enlarged pores.
Third, hydrate with lightweight moisturizers
Many people with oily or acne-prone skin skip moisturizer, but this can actually make pores appear larger. When your skin is dehydrated, it produces more oil to compensate, leading to clogged and stretched pores. Hence, choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer instead to keep your skin balanced.
Lastly, never skip sunscreen
UV rays break down collagen, which can lead to loss of skin elasticity and more visible pores. A broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen protects your skin and prevents premature aging.
Pores can’t be erased – but you can make them look a whole lot smaller.
Minimizing their appearance is totally possible! A great first step? Daily sunscreen. It protects your skin from sun damage that can make pores look larger over time. Start there, and your skin will thank you.
Prefer a tinted finish? Choose Ultra Glow UV Protector or Gel Oil-Free UV Protector for an invisible look!
