Born with large pores

question What’s the difference between large and small pores?


answerIn a nutshell, large pores are bad and small pores are good. When pores are large they’re prone to getting clogged, and clogged pores means pimples. It’s true that genes play a role in the type of skin you have and the size of your pores, but If you feel like Mother Nature might have skipped you when she was handing out small pores, don’t panic! If your gene pool isn’t blessed, you can still make the best of what you’ve got. Adding a few extra steps into your daily routine can help fool everyone into thinking you were born with fantastic skin.

Step 1. Cleanse daily with pore unclogging scrub in a hot shower, then close pores with a cool rinse.

Step 2. Sweep a tingly toner over your skin to tighten pores.

Step 3. Nourish and protect with an SPF 15 moisturiser.

Step 4. Use face and nose strips once weekly to get deep down into clogged pores and cleanse away dirt. 

Make this 4 step plan a habit and you can actually minimise the appearance of large pores over time and have people thinking you were born looking this great!

I was born with large pores and as a kid would hear my mum talking about it to people which wasn’t the best thing for someone to hear! It’s great to know there are products out there that can help. Thanks 24/7 Girl!

The pore strips are amazing, they pull muck out of your skin you didn’t even realise was in there! My skin looks so much smoother, these are such a must have for me!
