Pores

Q and A:

April 18, 2013


Hey yall, Here is a question from one of my fresh faced beauties…

Q: Hey Monica!! What can I do to minimize the look of my pores? And what is a good face washing regiment? ie how often should I exfoliate, do facial mask, etc. I have combination skin which on any given day can be more oily or dry depending

A: When it comes to your pores there is a pretty simple answ er for that. Just keep up with your daily skin care routine. I say this because as you get older, oils and skin cells can build up in your pores, causing them to expand. Which brings me to your next question…

A good skin care routine for combination skin includes…   
        
-Use a cream mild Facial cleanser (If you wear makeup then use a cleanser that can also take off makeup such as the facial cleanser/ makeup remover by Neutrogena Naturals) 

-Use an Oil free, lightweight facial moisturizer ( I use a moisturizer called Dew by DDF

      
-Exfoliate once a week using a scrub such as the purifying pore scrub by Neutrogena Naturals

I use a different facial cleanser when I have a few breakouts I want to quickly diminish. For that I use the Eccential-C Cleanser by Murad. It has glycolic, and rice amino acid along with vitamin, A, C and E to quickly Zap any bumps. Apply it on DRY face and let it sit for like 3 minutes, and then wash it off. The next day I’m usually happy with my results and then I go back to my regular mild cleanser due to me not being a fan of using a glycolic every day.

Well as always, I hope this helps! Please follow me via Instagram @_beautyexpert and “like” me on facebook EXPERT OF BEAUTY

Ok yall, here is a question from one of my fresh faced BEAUTIES...

 Q: "Ok im going through some face breakouts and im going crazy!!! Loll. I never had to deal with this n i dont know what to try. Im breakin out around my jaw line, a little on my cheeks and on my neck..what can i use?? I have sensitive skin." 

 A: Hey hun, What I am going to recommend is that you use a cleanser and OIL-FREE moisturizer from brand called Simple. Simple has no dyes, artificial perfumes or harsh irritants that can upset your skin. Instead, just their purest possible skin loving ingredients with added vitamins, for natural healthy-looking skin. Offering a skincare range suitable for all skin types - especially sensitive skin. I also recommend that you exfoliate ONCE a week using the Simple facial scrub. Exfoliation is considered one of the most important techniques that you can perform on your skin to resolve certain skin problems as well as to achieve healthy and glowing skin.
