How skincare products reduce pores

-






 First, I want to say what other people always say: pores can differ due to genetics. But skincare products can shrink pores, but not too much. The skincare products always contain active ingredients that can reduce pores, clean the appearance, and reduce oil production. Just remember that your pores can’t be eliminated, and they are vital for the skin.

1. Products with retinols/tretinoin



This active ingredient is the gold standard for anti-ageing. They are forms of vitamin A; they can unclog pores, reduce them or prevent them from getting larger and produce collagen. 

2. Products with niacinamide 



I have researched, formulated and used niacinamide, and trust me when I say this – it regulates oil production too. It reduces pores and strengthens skin barriers. I will be writing very soon about all the active ingredients I have researched and formulated on and writing about their benefits and also their drawbacks. You can read more on other active ingredients. 

3. Products with green tea extracts 



Green tea contains astringent which can tighten pores.

4. Products with peptides 



They are small chains of amino acids. They tighten pores and produce collagen. 

These are just the few listed, but there are more active ingredients that reduce pores.

    Today I’m going to show you how you apply your skincare products orderly. And yes, it really matters. You can wear your sunscreen before putting on your serum. Is it not every time you wear sunscreen, except when you go out. Here is how to apply skincare products on the face. 1. Face wash/face cleanser comes first. Some people have face wash, while others have face cleansers, so either one you have – this one comes first.  2. Toners Toners come second. You can read  Why a Toner Deserves Your Attention  to know more about toners. 3. Serums Serums should come before face creams.  4. Face oils That’s if you have face oils as your skincare products; they should come before your facial creams or moisturisers. Most sites and bloggers always say facial creams or moisturisers come before face oils. But with face oils coming first, it’s better to avoid heat and some misunderstandings with the products. 5. Eye creams 6. Face creams/face moisturiser There is day a...

Why you still have breakouts even with a consistent and targeted anti-acne routine

    You have spent money on a good and nice anti-acne product, but still your breakouts are there. Sometimes it looks like the acne are gone forever, but then they come back again. It’s actually concerning. Here are the reasons.  1. Dirty water: this involves your drinking water and bathing water. Some people don’t realise that their bathing water is the cause of the breakouts. When water contains some bacteria and other impurities, it causes breakouts. Some countries don’t have safe drinking water, which can also be a cause of this too. 2. Dirty towels: when the towel used to clean the body has been in use for too long, it becomes so dirty and can cause breakouts. Using the same towel for your face can also cause breakouts. Sharing and also using face towels for a long time before washing can be the source of the breakouts. 3. Dirty bedsheets: this is another reason too. When using a good product, you must ensure that your bedsheets are clean. 4.  Fake products :...

How often you should wash your hair

Washing your hair regularly enhances hair growth and keeps the hair healthy and safe. Here are the times you should wash your hair. 1. Wash your hair every day when you have an oily hair or scalp.  When your hair is not made, washing it every day is proper in order to avoid smells and dirt and keep it from looking limp. Don’t wash your hair every day if you have thick hair and a sensitive scalp. This can cause scarring of the scalp and dryness of hair. 2. Whenever you exercise Washing your hair whenever you did an exercise is actually proper because of the sweat.  3. Washing your hair after each braid  Whenever you lose your braids or remove your frontals that have stayed in your hair for days, I advise washing before making another hairstyle.
