Top 4 ways to achieve poreless skin perfectly

What usually stands between you and flawless skin is pores. Enlarged pores aren’t just for the young but also a sign of aging skin. While we can’t change the number of pores we are born with, there are ways to shrink pores for a smoother, flawless, poreless appearance.

While many options abound for poreless skin, these top 5 are must-haves to include in your skincare regime for a smoother finish.

#1 Wash your face regularly and thoroughly

As with any good skincare routine, a good cleanse is imperative and sets the tone for good skin. By cleaning your skin well and thoroughly, you will be getting rid of all the gunk, dirt and grime clogging your pores which no doubt have the effect of making your pores look bigger otherwise. Be sure to cover all areas of your face while cleaning and this includes the hairline and around the nose where dirt can hide and build up.

A gentle cleanser is best for anyone regardless of skin type. We love Skin Gym Deep Cleansing Gel that melts away all traces of dirt and makeup gently and easily without irritating the skin thanks to the exclusion of SLS.

See this as a complementary step to you daily cleanse, that works harder to dislodge and get rid of dead skin cells which can make your skin appear duller than they really are. Be it a physical exfoliator or a chemical exfoliator, using at least one of them once a week will do wonders for keeping skin clear and healthy.

#3 Be generous with your sunscreen every day

Ensuring your skin is well protected from the sun is important because UV damage can expedite the breakdown of collagen and elastin, the essential building blocks for your skin that keeps it firm and supple. When collagen and elastin break down, this can cause pores to appear larger and this is definitely something we would want to prolong for as long as possible. The simplest way to prevent this damage is with consistent and sufficient use of sunscreen that will protect your skin from sun.
