Having large pores on your face makes you look less attractive and eye-catching. Problem of enlarged pores care commons to women over 25 of age. Very unfortunately, these large pores look even larger in summer and under the bright sunshine. Do not worry, there are ways and different products to minimize your pores.

Pore Refining Tips
In summer, sebum secretion is highly accelerated by UV light. When the sebum mixes with dust and makeup, they clog up the facial pores. Therefore, it is important to cleanse your face thoroughly in order to have clear pores.

Our metabolic rate is accelerated under high temperature in summer. With higher metabolic rate, more metabolic wastes are formed and so is the horny layer of our skin. The accumulation of horny layer enlarges your facial pores and may even cause skin inflammation. During summer time, it is best to use gentle exfoliating skincare products every 2 to 3 days.

After a thorough face cleansing, you need to apply toner to shrink facial pores. Toner on one hand replenishes moisture to skin and on the other provide a second cleansing to your skin. Toners with oil control function help remove the remaining sebum and dirt in your pores. For better results, you may keep your toner in the fridge.

Large facial pores are associated with an inadequate moisture balance of skin. Therefore, moisturization is another important task beside oil control. For summer skincare purpose, you should choose moisturizer with a light texture and better to have both moisturizing and oil controlling functions.

For a more intensive treatment, you may apply facial mask once a week and apply pore refining essence every day.

I love using ChiQui Beaute’s Facial Masks. I use their Mud to Go Purifying Mask about 1 to 2 times a week and it really has been helping the pimples on my forehead and chin. Their masks are all paraben free and natural so they don’t harm your skin. My skin used to be flaky in some areas and oily in others, but the masks have helped even out my skin and has made it much smoother. It even comes with Lightening masks, which I use to help fade away old acne scars and to even out my skintone. It really work. Their website is chiquibeaute.com. I used this coupon code “J10DOLLAROFF” for $10 off any mask. Hope this helps! :)
