Ways to Minimize Large Pores

We are all born with unique facial features and a certain skin tone and skin type. Whether you have sensitive skin, oily or dry skin is determined by your genes. You happen to have large facial pores, I'm sorry, you can't change it but you certainly can make them look much smaller.

No. 1: Wash your face twice a day
You have large pores, it means that you have oily skin and that skin constantly produces dead cells - oil. Washing your face 2 times a day - morning and night, with a cleanser that contains salicylic acid can minimize the appeareance of your pores as they have the ability to unclog them.

No. 2: Use an oil-free moisturizer
Avoid using an oil based facial moisturizer, instead opt for the oil-free ones, especially the ones contain retinol. Retinol has the ability to boost collagen production of your face, therefore will help to minimize lareg pores over a period of using.

6 Myths about Aging

Shocking but true:  From 2000 to 2010, the number of people getting Botox in the U.S. increased by 584 percent

Myth #1:  If your makeup has SPF,  you're covered.

Reality:  Unless you are slathering yourself in foundation, your coverage is inadequate.  Dr. Brandt recommends wearing at least a teaspoonful of sunscreen on your face everyday. "Protecting your skin from the sun lets the repair enzymes shift from defending skin to healing it."

Myth #2:  The more you exfoliate, the better.

Reality:  Though it's important to remove dead cells regularly so your skin will reflect more light and will be better absorbed treatment products, doing it too often can be so irritating that you won't be able to use other anti-aging products, like retinoid.  The ideal: Exfoliate just once a week with an at-home microderm system or peel.

Dior Addict Lip Glow

The Dior Addict Lip Glow is truly a luxurious lip balm that would respond to the color chemistry of your lips to bring out your natural lip color and enhance it. It is moisturizing and sun protected. It has an SPF 10. I am totally in love with this lip balm. I have super dry lips and none of any other lip balm products work for me in the past. From Burt's Bee, Chapsticks to some other drugstore brands, except for Vaseline. But I can only use it at the night time, before going to sleep and as a lip prime to moisturize my lips before putting on any lipsticks. But with this Dior Addict Lip Glow, I can now bring it with me on the go, to any where and it is very convenient.
