How to Get Rid of Those Damn Pores

With those hot summer days quickly approaching, I want to make sure my skin looks great sans makeup as much as possible. And all of that starts with… my skin!

The CINCteam and I can all agree that our biggest pet peeve about our skin is our pores and what lies within them. While large pores are unfortunately often the result of genetics, sometimes they can be caused by oil and dirt buildup that’s stuck in the skin. In the quest to minimize our pores (or at least the appearance of them)- genetic or not, I rounded up four of my favorite products to help you get rid of those damn pores!

1. Charcoal Creme Mask

It all starts with getting that dirt out of your pores and this charcoal face mask is incredible! I was introduced to it by one of the girls on the CINCteam who noticed a huge change in her skin texture after she started using it. It goes on super easily and is the perfect way to remove the dirt and toxins in your pores, clarify and hydrate your skin all at the same time!

2. Pore Focused Skin Masks

Oh sheet masks, how I love you. When I said that there’s a sheet mask for everything in this post here, I wasn’t kidding! These pore focused minimizing face masks and nose strips are total life savers and do more than your average sheet mask. The strips are great for both clearing out your pores and tightening them.

3. Face Polish

This face polish has very quickly made its way to my favorites. It’s gently exfoliating and leaves my skin feeling soft as a baby’s bottom! A little goes a long way, so just mix some powder with some warm water (I like to add a little bit of honey, too!) and apply it like a regular mask. I like to use it along my t-zone to really help shrink those pores!

4. Pores No More

Your pores won’t go away overnight, especially if they’re a genetic thing but using this primer make it look like I never had pores in the first place! It lights up my skin and smooths over my pores making my skin look #FLAWLESS. Remember, a little bit goes a long way!
