I mentioned in my previous blog that I do have oily skin- so that makes me prone to acne and visible pores. But the good side of having this skin type is that we delay the development of wrinkles and fine lines compared to those with dry or normal skin. (So what would you rather have?)
Oily skin is caused by a myriad of factors. Genetics, hormones, diet, stress, age, among others. I am always in search of the perfect product that won't aggravate or trigger breakouts. This is addressed by using water-based and non-comedogenic products which are sold practically everywhere now (Be sure to read the label!). For the unsightly and visible pores, I turn to Clinique Pore Minimizer and recently, Benefit Porefessional. These little known secrets complete my strategy in creating that flawless canvass.
Depending whether you are using a moisturizer, sunscreen or primer, dab a pea- size of Clinique Pore Minimizer in areas you want to de-shine or diminish pores (i.e T-zone). You can use it over makeup but I usually apply it after moisturizing my face or before putting on makeup. It is matte-finished and it stays all day. A recent favorite, Benefit Porefessional works just the same only that it has a silky balm texture to it. I once tried it over make-up, it looked okay but still, I prefer using my old routine. Both come in small tubes but they last pretty long. What pore? No more!
