When it comes to anything that promises smaller, less noticeable pores… I am totally IN! When I was younger I used to do the old ‘pore minimizing strips’ {you know the ones that you peel… put on… and 10 minutes later they promise smaller pores on the nose area} In recent years I have given up the good old strips and looked towards something that is more of a long term solution rather than a quick fix for the nose area. So in recent months I have been on the lookout for the ultimate pore minimizer since in the summer months those pesky pores can start to be wayyyyy more noticeable… here’s the breakdown…
One product that I found a while back; but recently found when re-shopping the stash is the Benefit POREfessional. This product is more a primer in my eyes and works wonders on the pores. You apply a thin layer on the skin and instantly your skin feels soft and smooth. It works on all skin tones from the fairest to the darkest. I have found that during summer months this helps not only shrink pores and smooth skin, but it also helps makeup stay put a lot longer than usual. Priced at $30 USD I have found that a little of this will go a long way. My full size bottle has lasted me a whole summer and part of the fall as well. All you need is a dime sized amount to cover the full face. Definitely worth the purchase.
Estee Lauder Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher I picked up on a recent shopping spree { it was a gift with purchase} this is a GREAT product. This product claims to make pores dramatically smaller by at least 1/3 all while exfoliating the dead skin cells and clogged pores. So far it has lived up to its claim. Once applied on skin it literally makes your skin feel like silk… HANDS DOWN AMAZINGNESS!!! At $52 USD for a 1.0 oz bottle this is a bit pricey so I can see myself using it only when my skin is feeling a bit dry since this is more of a serum and you will need to still moisturizer the skin. I do love this, but the price tag in my eyes is step for a small bottle.
MACCosmetics Prep + Prime Skin Refined Zone is phenomenal. Priced at only $21 USD this is AMAZINGNESS in a tube. Like the Estee Lauder Idealist, this is also a mild exfoliator that dries instantly all while unclogging the visible pores and controlling shine. I found that I am IN love with this product, it not only helps the oh- so dreaded t-zone stay pore-fect {I know cheesy}; but it helps make skin soft and even instantly. Can you say MUST HAVE for summer….
BeccaCosmetics Line and Pore Corrector, is a GREAT product. On the pricey side as well at $58 USD, this pore corrector is to die for!!! It minimizes pores, helps get rid of fine lines and is a soft focus primer as well. Full of tons of anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients this product is up there with the best of the best!! Once applied on my face this product helped drastically reduce the appearance of the over-sized pores and minimized the fine lines around the eyes, mouth and forehead {goodbye frown lines}. With this product I found my complexion looked like that of a teenager {the good old days}. And the best part is a small dime sized amount will last you a long time…I will gladly be taking the steep price tag and repurchasing this product again and again. {LOVE this!!!}
So as we slowly creep into summer, what are some of your pore minimizer’s that are you’re must haves? I sure know that I will be slathering my face with a few of this this summer season as radiant, smooth, even complexion with NO sight of the pores is what I am aiming for… What about you?!?
