How to minimize pores

Ever look into the mirror and all you see are humongous pores staring at you? Well there's a system you can follow that makes your pores smaller.   

*Every other day or two use a toner.  
Toners are a must-have because they tighten, refine pores while gently removing excess oil, dirt and makeup residue without overdrying. So how about Astringent? Can we use it? Well, astringent is different from toner, they contain a high amount of alcohol and usually contain salicylic acid for acne users. Don't apply too much astringent as it dries out your skin. If you have acne prone skin use astringent every 2-3 days depending whether or not your skin dries out. For normal skin, apply Toner every other day or two. 

*Exfoliate. 
Once a week, exfoliate. Exfoliating your skin removes the the surface layer of dead cells. Make sure you use a gentle scrub with tiny grains. Big grains in cheap scrubs can tear skin and cause more harm than good. 

*Apply translucent powder.
Translucent powder hides pores making it less noticeable. 

Yes it's these 3 simple steps but don't forget your daily face wash routine


Hope you enjoy these great tips!
