Close Open Pores

The first thing we all need to understand is pores DON"T CLOSE, your skin has to be able to breathe. Pores can be minimised but at no point in your life are they closed. there are a few simple things we can do to minimse the appearance of open pores.

Steps

 * 1)  Firstly and i think most importantly, when you are in your teens, treating acne and other skin conditions properly is the key to good looking skin for the rest of your life.
 * 2)  to do this you need to use a good quality cleansing routine, using cheap nasty products from drug stores and supermarkets is my first big NO.
 * 3)  the routine is reasonably easy
 * 4)  1 first get your self a good cleanser and use it as instructed morning, and before you go to bed. Using it in the early evening is a waste of the product. When cleansing, don't use really hot or really cold water. this removes the natural oils that protects your skin and brings blood vessels to the surface.
 * 5)  2 Use a toner after cleansing to remove traces of cleanser and make up that can be left on the skin. Choose a toner depending on your skin type. Never use strong smelling toners. Do you really want those toxic chemicals on your face? Witch hazel is a good quality toner for all skin types. it can be easily applied with cotton wool. Use am and pm.
 * 6)  3 MOISTURISE no matter how oily your skin is!! this balances oils and refuels dry areas of your skin to give a even texture all over. Use am and pm.
 * 7)  4 an exfoliant is necasary to keep your other products working their best and able to get into your skin. a harsh exfoliant chould be use 3 times a week, weaker ones can be used daily. If you have a bad acne break out, try a non abrasive exfoliant that is left on skin over night then rinsed off in the morning to avoid spreading the blemishes over your face.
 * 8)  using a facial masque acording to your skin type once a month and a steam facial weekly is the final step to your skin care routine.
 * 9)  this routine will keep your skin at it's healthiest  so that it can repair it's self. Your pores will now become as closed as they can. Genetics and environment play a big role in how your skin looks.

Tips

 * NO ONE looks as closly at your skin as you look at in in the mirror.
