Collection: Large Pores & Oily Skin
How can large pores and oily skin be improved?
Step 1: Improve pore function
Increasing cell turnover will help clear out blocked pores and minimize their appearance. Hyperkeratinization is the term used when dead skin cells do not leave the pore because of an excess of the protein keratin, causing increased build-up. Reducing hyperkeratinization in the pore can prevent blockages, minimize pore size appearance and help control the overproduction of oil. Skin texture will improve as a result.

Step 2: Control sebum production
The overproduction of sebum (oil) can be linked to hormones, genetics or an issue with the skin’s hydration balance. Irritation can also increase sebum production, so it is important to use products with soothing ingredients to control excess oil.

Step 3: Hydrate the right way
Over-washing oily skin can actually make it worse because dryness signals the skin to produce more sebum. There is a delicate balance to finding the right level of hydration for oily skin. Use lightweight lotions or gel hydrators that give skin the moisture it needs without making it feel greasy.

Step 4: Protect from UV rays
Your skincare regimen should always finish with the application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Look for ingredients that improve oily skin while providing adequate hydration to maintain a proper moisture balance.
