i have horribly open pores and every photo shows it any ways i can minimize that look so my face looks more porcelain
Avoid face wash or exfoliators with the little beads in them, of any material. They clog up your pores and make them open. Try to find exfoliators that are made out of fruit acid (like pineapple) because that gets rid of the dead skin build up without clogging pores.
Hold a warm wet wash cloth over your face to open the pores, then wash your face and rinse with cold water to help close them. Toner also works well to close your pores so that they don’t get any ickyness in them that makes them seem big. Use moisturizer after toner as well 😊
I prefer the Sephora brand Essentials Kit for skin care, and also their exfoliator pads. The kit is only like $20 and I think the exfoliating pads are like $15ish? Honestly the best skincare stuff I’ve ever used and I’ve spent the last year or so switching between brands to find which worked best. The only one I liked more was Drunk Elephant but that’s super expensive and honestly the Sephora kit is just as effective. Plus the face wash has toner in it so that’s one less step!
The kit comes with face wash, moisturizer, and a clay mask. The exfoliating pads are separate but I don’t remember them being too expensive for how well they work.
You also can talk the the Sephora workers and they can answer more specific questions for you as well ☺️
