Can We Get Rid of Pores?
The truth is, you can’t completely get rid of them. But you can improve your skin’s elasticity to make pores look smaller and less noticeable!!
Tips to Minimize the Look of Pores:
Deep Pore Cleansing: Remove impurities trapped deep within your pores using products like oil cleansers, pore-care cleansers or clay masks.
Boost Skin Elasticity: Use products that enhance skin elasticity to tighten pores, such as pore-minimizing toners, serums or reedle shot
UV Protection: Shield your skin from the sun to reduce irritation and prevent pore enlargement.
How Can I Get Rid of Blackheads and Sebum?
Blackheads and excess sebum are common concerns, and many people ask, "Should I squeeze them out?"
The answer: No! Squeezing too hard can damage your skin and even enlarge your pores.
Try These Tips for Managing Blackheads and Sebum:
Oil-Based Cleansing: Use an oil-based cleanser to break down blackheads and sebum, followed by a water-based cleanser for a thorough clean.
Exfoliation: Exfoliate 1–2 times a week to control sebum. Products like AHA/BHA toners or serums, or retinol.
Hydration: Always hydrate your skin to keep your skin moisturized and balance oil and water levels, which helps reduce sebum production.
By following these steps, you’ll notice a visible reduction in blackheads and sebum over time!
