Why Enlarged Pores are Preventing You From Becoming Your #BestBeautiful

Imporefection

Aside from genetics and age, external factors such as heat, sweat, and humidity are some of the leading causes of enlarged pores. It seems like whatever we do, we’re all susceptible to having enlarged pores. Having large pores doesn’t necessarily mean they get bigger overtime-pores can only expand or shrink and the reason why people call them ‘large’ is because they become more pronounced than the usual. (Now that’s a quick fact for you!)

Is this enough reason to panic? Not really, especially if you’re properly educated that you can shrink them back, but this doesn’t mean you can just slack off on it, which leads me to the reasons why enlarged pores inhibit you from becoming your best beautiful self.

Having enlarged pores is a sneaky condition: At first, it seems harmless, but eventually, you’ll notice that your face gets oilier than the usual, blackheads and whiteheads seem to recur often, you’re breaking out more than the usual, and your face just looks so rough and your makeup almost always seems patchy-all these can result from having enlarged pores. When your pores are wider than the usual, makeup and dirt can easily penetrate and cause riot underneath in the form of a zit! By the way, enlarged pores can worsen as you age and if you have oilier skin, you’re more prone to this skin condition too!

I’m not saying though that you’re ugly if you have enlarged pores-my point is, you can be your best beautiful with the help of skin care products that target this problem and if you can improve yourself, why not, right? Don’t lie-I know you’ll agree when I say that we’d all love to have smooth skin always if possible, eh?

How do you shut enlarged pores and prevent all these skin horrors from happening? Here are two suggestions from Olay. Click READ MORE.

1.    TONE YOUR SKIN

I’ve used to think that Toner is unnecessary, until I had enlarged pores and witnessed how this product creates a difference. For years, alcohol- based toners have been the top remedy for enlarged pores, but unfortunately, not all people can tolerate this ingredient. There are gentler toners nowadays that address enlarged pores without drying out the skin such as Olay Total Effects Pore Minimizing Toner, one of Olay’s newest products that addresses enlarged pores- this toner is formulated to remove surface dead skin to reveal new, fresher, and more even skin (FYI: Dead skin cells attach themselves to the edges of your pores, causing them to widen). The nice thing about this toner is it just feels like water: it’s so mild that even those who get irritated by the slightest cooling sensation can tolerate this product!

USE MAKEUP THAT ADDRESSES ENLARGED PORES

There are makeups that promise to conceal enlarged pores, but there are those that aim to treat it such as Olay’s Total Effects Pore Minimizing CC Cream, another product from their new Pore Minimizing Line. This oil-free, everyday base has a light, breathable texture that promises to treat enlarged pores and yields an airbrushed finish to give you the illusion of smoother skin. It comes in two shades, Light and Medium.

Use these products together with twice-a-week scrubbing and good food choices, and you’ll be able to score smooth, ‘poreless’ skin in no time. If you’ve got smooth skin, your makeup just looks better (heck, you may even not feel the need to put on makeup everyday), your skin clearly shows that it’s in good health, and of course, you’ll feel much better. Don’t let enlarged pores ruin your look and reveal your #BestBeautiful self by using products that address these issues such as Olay Pore Minimizing Toner and Olay Pore Minimizing CC Cream.
