FACE MISTS THAT ARE TOTALLY WORTH YOUR MONEY

It took me a minute to come around to face mists, which—let's be honest—may appear to be nothing much more than atomized H20 to many of you. In short, a total waste of time and money. But hear me out: the ones you’ll see here are brimming with skin-loving ingredients, calming Rosewater, and even water from the French Alps. Just ONE spritz on my just cleansed and bare face was enough to change my life (and skin) forever. How you ask? Well...it instantly makes me feel revived, comes to my rescue at work when all I want to do is a nap after lunch and cools, soothes and hydrates my complexion when I need a midday pick-me-up. Ahead, a bunch of facial mists that you are bound to love: 1. AVENE THERMAL SPRING WATER Think of it as water, but with supernatural powers. It’s packed with skin-softening silicates and has a balanced dose of Calcium and Magnesium that work together to improve skin's texture and strengthen its barrier. Plus, its pH level of 7.5, ma...

EASY WAYS TO MAKE YOUR PORES (ALMOST) DISAPPEAR

-



They can ruin the most flawless makeup look. Even a full coverage foundation doesn’t stand a chance. So how do you nix pesky pores and flaunt a smooth complexion? 




Here’s how to get rid of pores on face:



#1 VACUUM-CLEAN YOUR SKIN





Time to wage an all-out war! Large pores and excess oil go hand in hand. When dirt and oil get stuck in your pores, they cause them to stretch. A quick way to nix this is by busing a charcoal-based face wash that literally sucks the bad stuff out. Did ya know charcoal can bind 800 times its weight in dirt and oil? Get Aloe Veda Activated Charcoal Deep Pore Detox today.






#2 BUFF YOUR STUFF






Common mistake: extra vigorous exfoliation. This inflames pores, making them even larger. You need a mild but tough exfoliator infused with chemical exfoliants like Salicylic acid or Glycolic acid. They stimulate cell turnover and keep pores clean. Use not more than twice a week. Try O3+ Glycolic Acid 10 % Face Wash.







# 3 TIGHTEN UP





Have you noticed your pores look larger in your 30s than they did in your 20s? That’s because the skin loses collagen and elastin — the building blocks for tight skin—as you age.  Hydrate yourself inside out: drink lots of water and use a hydrating serum. This shrinks pores by plumping up the surrounding skin. We tried The Face Shop Chia Seed Moisture Recharge Serum and loved the moisture surge it gave our skin.





# 4 SUN PROTECT





The sun too plays a big part in how big your pores become. Direct sunlight tears up collagen in the skin, making pores larger. Simple solution daily mattifying SPF to structural skin damage before it happens. Give VLCC Matte Look SPF 30 Sun Screen Gel Crème a try.






# 5 ADD A RETINOID TO YOUR ROUTINE




It’s time to say hello to the wunderkind of skincare: retinol. A vitamin A derivative, this stimulates the metabolism of skin cells and encourages collagen production. Use daily to visibly reduce the appearance of brown spots, wrinkles, and large pores. Pure Retin A is available at chemists. Add a drop to your night cream. Or simply pick up retinol infused skin formula like L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Night Cream.






#6 PRIMER FIRST




A must before putting on your foundation. While you're waiting for results to kick in from the treatments above, invest in a pore-minimizing primer. These wonder formulae contain optical reflectors that mattify skin and visually fill in pores so they look smaller and smoother. We love the super-light, matte NYX Professional Makeup Studio Perfect Primer that doesn’t clog pores. 





#7 LAST RESORT: THE DERMATOLOGIST!


All else fails, head to the dermatologist for a laser treatment. The only proven way of ACTUALLY reducing pore size. A series of treatments with non-ablative lasers can reduce pores by building collagen, plumping the skin and shrinking pores. Bonus: The treatment has minimal downtime.
