Your Questions Answered - How to Make Large Pores look smaller

Hi Eman

Gone through your videos and they were fantastic .
I've got open pores on my face and I want to use something that can fill my pores so my skin looks smooth. Even after using foundation, my skin is oily. Is there any kind of camuflague that i can use?


So you want to make your pores look smaller. Here are a few tips:
Large pores are caused by two things: genetics and age. There are a few options to deal with large pores.

One option is to go to a dermatologist or a spa to get microdermabrasion treatments. These treatments are a type of facial that gently sloughs off the dead surface layer of skin.

Another option is to use products that have low-strength topical retinol or vitamin C. Both of these are antioxidants that work to increase collagen and elastin production to give your skin a smoother appearance. Try either The Body Shop Vitamin C Super Charged Serum or Neutrogena Pore Refining Cream. Microdermabraison treatments will also help the antioxidant creams penetrate the skin more quickly.

Another option is to conceal large pores with makeup. Start by applying a primer. Primer is a product that evens out skin tone and prevents foundation from sinking into pores. After it dries, apply your foundation. As a final step, use a kabuki brush to apply a light dusting of loose powder. This will make the surface of your skin appear smoother.

So many things effect your skin. Your diet, exercise, what products you use to cleanse your skin etc. One tip I always suggest is to use a 3 step system twice a day. Cleanse, Tone and Moisturize. Make sure you wash your face before going to bed. Never go to bed with your make up on!!! That will clog your pores and give you the little bumps. You are on the right track...masks and exfoliating are a very important step to getting rid of those little bumps on your skin. Also remember to drink lots of water. And exercise - it makes you sweat out all the impurities in your skin and your skin feels fresh and rejuvinated.



Good luck, xo Eman Aziz
