‘How to reduce open pores?’ by Best Facials Singapore

‘How to reduce open pores?’ one of the most frequently asked questions by our clients.

Angels Dream Spa, home to Best Facials Singapore finds out more on why, how and what we can do to reduce the open pores.

For many of us, having to deal with uneven skin tone and occasional break out was already quite a chore. Additional ‘little hole’s on our faces known as pores constantly give us even more headaches.

Why some of us have more visible open pores than others? Pores are more visible in those with oily or combination skin. While the size of our pores is largely determined by genetics, some pores are bigger than others due to hair follicle and oil gland. Poor hygiene and resulting dirt, oil and dead cells that build up often make pores look bigger.

If you notice that pores are getting bigger as you get more mature, it is because the pores loses its firmness when we age. The surround muscles give less support to the skin around the T-zone.

Here are some of the actions we can take to rectify this.

1) Cleanse well with the appropriate cleanser.

Cleansing oil and Enzyme cleanser are the new rockstar in the beauty industry which helps to thoroughly cleanse the face. Alternate these new options with your usual gentle cleansing milk to ensure skin is not dehydrated and lack of moisture. Read more ‘What cleanser should I use?’by Best Facials Singapore

2) Apply a purifying mask and alternate with firming mask

As pores are more visible when skin is congested due to excessive activity of the sebum gland and when it loses elasticity, we choose to rectify this problem with the appropriate mask. ‘Why mask?’ by Best Facials Singapore

3) Use ample toner day and night

Toner with a mild alcohol content will give tremendous help to reduce the visibility of the pores. Many may not use a toner as they believe it is an additional step in the routine. But, adding this simple step will make a big difference in the effectiveness of your skincare. ‘Why toner?’ by Best Facials Singapore

4) Choose the appropriate mattifying serum and lifting serum

Yes. With the intensive R&D behind some of the reputable brands in the industry, they have created not only the usual anti-aging serum but also a variety of serums to help keep the sebum glands less active whilst providing firming capabilities.
