I say younger and firmer LOOKING because there is no permanent way to shrink your pores. You can, however, minimize them some time. If you add these extra steps to your daily hygiene routine you benefit from smaller pores, firmer looking skin, and skin that is both clean and radiant.
Before we start, you’ll need to make sure you have the following items:
– Pore-refining face wash
– Cotton balls
– Toner
– Moisturizer
– Face scrub
So far. I agree with everything in this article. All you need to minimize pores are four things: a good cleanser, a facial toner, a moisturizer, and an exfoliant.
I specialize in rejuvenating dry skin, so I use products that are, first and foremost, moisturizing. The only exception is the facial toner that I use. It works on all skin types, even though it is totally natural. That said, I still make sure my toner has no alcohol in it, so it is not too drying.
The key is to use four products that work for your skin type. And for me, I make sure they are completely natural, and, ideally, organic. That’s where I part company with the author of the above article, who goes on to suggest you can get the job done with an all-in-one pore minimizing serum.
Frankly, I don’t believe in serums. I haven’t seen much benefit from them, and there is very little independent research showing that they do any good. Also, I wouldn’t be without my natural exfoliant either. There are so many benefits from using it a couple of times a week.
It’s not hard to have a smooth, luminous complexion. It should only take four really good products that are designed with your skin type in mind. And then you should be spending just a minute or so twice a day with them – less time than you spend brushing your teeth, actually. There’s no need for fancy-dandy serums and elaborate routines. However, you do need to have a routine that you can keep up with every day, because as the writer of the article ponts out, results don’t last for ever. That’s another reason why it’s so helpful to learn about simple skin care that you can follow easily every day.
