Real Skincare Guide

Level 1: breakouts, non-painful, a little scarring

Minimize your skincare routine, all you need is an oil cleanser (if you wear a lot of makeup) than a good foam cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Repeat the same routine before bed just without the sunscreen.

Wear sunscreen everyday!!!

Always apply more moisturizer than you think you need.

Drink a lot of water (2-3LT)

Get consistent sleep

Take a multi vitamins to balance your hormones. I recommend the One-A-Day Woman’s Vitamins (get a real pill cause the gummies don’t have enough iron)

Work on your stress (breathe work, meditate, journal, yoga, walks, going out with friends, therapy, etc)

Look at what body oils/shampoo/conditioner you are using. Could be your akin reacting poorly to something in there.

Level 2: consistant breakouts, acne, scarring

All the stuff for Level 1 apply.

Minimize your skincare routine and than slowly add back in stuff like hydrochloric acid and retinol. Having an elaborate skincare will just make your skin worse. First, focus on healing your skin barrier.

If you are a teenager, it just might be your hormones/growing pains. It will go away eventually.

Pimple Patches work and are especially good if you are trying to stop touching your face.

Wash your pillow cases every 1-2 weeks.

Try to sleep on your back.

If you pop a pimple than apply an antibiotic ointment.

No point in using anti-aging products if you are under the age of 25. It just won’t do anything for you.

Note that if you take in a lot of nicotine you will breakout. If you smoke and you have bad skin, it probably won’t improve unless you quit or lessen the dosage.

Level 3: painful consistent breakouts/acne/scars, redness, irritability, hurts,

Go see a dermatologist!

Acne is can be a real problem. If your acne is painful seek professional help.

If Accutane is recommended, than I would do it. Based only on the experiences of my friends, I have seen great results after a couple months. There are side effects and it is not for everyone but if a professional says you should than I might consider it.

No topical treatment is going to make those scars go away. You are going to need to laser resurfacing which is like this secret treatment rich people do to clear up their skin. It is expensive but really works. Beauty brands want you to think that the right cream can clear up your skin but if you have bad scarring you are only going to see real results with laser treatments

All of the above recommendations still apply

Your acne does not take away from your beauty or your worth as a human being. Remember that acne is normal and social media is fake.

A bit about how spiders eat their meals.

Soup is back on the menu boys! In fact, it never left the menu. Soup all day, every day. Which is something us autumnal folk and our arachnid friends have in common.

I’ve talked a bit about the chemical makeup of spider silk in another post (which you can find under my ‘spiders (and some other arachnids)’ tag), but for the purpose of this post, I’ll break it down:

Spider silks, scientifically, are categorised as ‘Spidroins’, of which there are many types, making the analysis very complex. There were originally thought to be two types of one MaSp (Major Ampullate Silk Protein - or dragline silk): spidroin-1 and spidroin-2, however with progression in research, there have been revealed to be many more.

Spidroins are part of a large group of proteins called Scleroproteins, of which we have a few, too, including collagen proteins and keratins.

There are seven main kinds of spider silk used to construct webs and snare prey, however in this post I’ll be talking mainly about AcSp2 (Aciniform Spidroin - the spidroin responsible for the webs constructed to wrap prey).

First, the spider wraps their prey in the AcSp2 spidroin (the snare). Then, they begin to digest the prey externally, their digestive fluids reducing both the prey and the AcSp2 web fibres to soup.

For the most part, the exact contents of spider digestive fluid is unknown, however one study of the Uloborus Sp. (Feather legged lace weaver, North America) examined the midgut protein content (I’ll link my sources below).

Proteins found in this spider’s midgut include peptidases (both endo and exopeptidases: cisteine, serine and metallopeptidases.), carbohydrases (alpha-amylase, chitinase and alpha mannosidase) and lipases.

Peptidases are involved in the degradation of proteins. Carbohydrases break down carbohydrates - chitinase is responsible for breaking down chitin (found in the exoskeletons of insects). Lipases break down fats.

Among these digestive enzymes, toxins were also identified: enzymes thought only to be unique to venomous spiders were also found in the guts of non venomous spiders, such as Sphingomyelinase D, suggesting a common origin between digestive enzymes and those found in venoms.

From what I can gather, Sphingomyelinase D (a phospholipase - it hydrolyses phospholipids into fatty acids (liquifies shit)) is responsible for inducing dermal necrosis (which basically kills the skin tissues / causes cell death).

Anyway. Spiders regurgitate this digestive cocktail onto and into their prey in a process known as EOD - extra oral digestion (because it happens outside of the body).

Other enzymes present in spider venoms include hyaluronidases, astacins and serine peptidases.

Hyaluronidases degrade hyaluronic acids (hyaluronic acids are commonly used in skincare and are proven to help wound healing, reduce scarring and aid the skin’s elasticity).

Astacins help with the degradation of polypeptides - so again, they help break down proteins.

And that’s the bite size version of how spooders eat. Enjoy your soup.

Skincare for Every Age: How to Care for Your Skin in Your 20s, 30s, 40s, and Beyond!

Skincare is an essential part of our lives, but your skin needs will depend on age. As you move through different stages of age, adapting your routine helps maintain a glowing,healthy complexion. Here’s a guide to tailoring your skin care routine to suit your skin’s changing demands through your 20s, 30s,40s and beyond.

Skincare in Your 20s: Building Healthy Habits

Your 20s are all about prevention and maintaining your youthful, resilient skin. While your skin is at its peak, establishing good habits now will help you in future.

Cleanse Twice Daily: Gentle cleansing is essential in your 20s to remove makeup, dirt and environmental pollutants. Choose a mild, non-stripping cleanser to keep your skin clean without disrupting its natural oils.

Hydration is Key: while your skin is still young, it benefits from light, water-based hydration. Use toner to hydrate your skin after cleansing to lock moisture.

Prevention with Antioxidants: Start using antioxidant-rich products, such as Vitamin C, to protect your skin from environment stressors and promote a glowing complexion.

Sunscreen: This is the most crucial step to protect your skin from premature aging. Apply sunscreen every day, even when on cloudy days.

Skincare in Your 30s: Repair and Protect

In your 30s, the first sign of aging may start to appear as your skin begins to lose some of its elasticity. Now is the time to focus on maintaining your skin’s appearance while repairing early damage.

Incorporate Retinol: Retinol helps stimulate collagen production and smooth fine lines. Start slow to avoid irritation, using it a few times a week in your nighttime routine.

Strengthen with Antioxidants: Continue to use antioxidants like Vitamin C, which also help reduce dark spots and even skin tone.

Give Attention to Eyes and Lips: The skin around your eyes and lips is thinner and more prone to aging. Add a lightweight eye cream to target fine lines and puffiness.

Boost Hydration with Serum: Skin begins to produce less oil, leading to dryness. Hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid can help to give moisture and prevent dehydration.

Skincare in Your 40s: Prioritize Firmness and Elasticity

In your 40s, collagen and elastin production decreases significantly, leading to sagging skin and deeper wrinkles. Hydration and firming are the main focus in this decade.

Exfoliate Regularly: Exfoliating a few times a week helps to promote cells and keeps your skin smooth. Choose exfoliants like glycolic acid or lactic acid for gentle yet effective treatment.

Continue Using Retinol: Retinol remains a powerful anti-aging skin care ingredient in your 40s. If your skin tolerates it, you can use it more frequently to support collagen production.

Choose Richer Moisturizers: Your skin will benefit from heavier moisturizers that offer long-lasting hydration and support the skin barrier. Look for creams with nourishing ingredients like ceramides.

Use Peptides for Firming: Peptides can help rebuild skin strength by stimulating collagen, which improves firmness and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

Skincare in 50s and Beyond: Repair and Nourish

As you pass your 50s, hormonal changes can cause your skin to become thinner, drier, and more fragile. At this stage, your skin should be focused on nourishing and repairing your skin.

Boost Hydration: Moisturizing becomes the most critical aspect of your routine. Choose rich, emollient creams and consider adding oils to seal in moisture.

Barrier Protection: Focus on products that strengthen the skin barrier, as it becomes more prone to moisture loss and irritation. Ingredients like fatty acids and cholesterol are best for restoring the barrier function.

Focus on Gentle Products: As your skin becomes more sensitive, it’s essential to use gentle, soothing products. Avoid harsh scrubs or overly aggressive treatments, as they can cause irritation.

Brightening treatment: Dark spots and hyperpigmentation may become more noticeable due to years of sun exposure. Look for treatments that brighten the complexion and even skin tones, such as niacinamide or licorice root extract.

Conclusion

Skincare needs evolve with age, and adjusting your routine ensures your skin remains healthy skin at every stage of life. In your 20s, focus on establishing good habits and prevention. In your 30s, repair and protect against early signs of aging. Your 40s are about boosting hydration and elasticity, while your 50s and beyond require intense nourishment and gentle care. With consistency and the right approach, you can maintain your skin’s vitality for years to come.

Tips:

20s: Cleanse and prevent damage with antioxidants and sunscreen. 30s: Hydrate deeply and start using retinol. 40s: Focus on firming, hydration, and regular exfoliation. 50s: Repair with nourishing creams and gentle care.

Remember, a Skin Brightening Vitamin C+E Face wash can be your go-to at every stage, offering a gentle cleanse that supports the health and glow of your skin.

zb1’s skincare routines

shanbin and zhang hao

THE husbands!!

i feel like they would have both had pretty intricate skincare routines and then exchanged stuff until at some point they just straight up share the same products

they definitely do the basics, cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and sunscreen

we know that shanbin also has those vitamins that he takes so i also see him taking collagen and vitamin c supplements

also some extras like retinol, serums, essence, oil cleansers, aha, bha, the list goes on

i think individually they know a lot about skincare and have perfected their routines and together they are just unstoppable

also feel like they use sulwhasoo or beauty of joseon

my guess would be

oil cleanser

water based cleanser

chemical exfoliator (occasionally!)

toner

essence

serums (at night!)

sheet mask (at night!)

eye cream

moisturizer

sunscreen (in the morning!)

and supplements

seok matthew

i actually have no idea with him

he definitely doesn’t seem as invested as haobin

his older sister gives me major skincare vibes though (she’s so cool can she adopt me i’m canadian too)

i think he mostly just picks stuff up from her

i can see him getting a lot of the stuff that trends on tiktok

like the snail mucin essence and sunscreen sticks

i feel like his skincare would be pretty light and gentle

an overall solid routine but he probably doesn’t know the details

my guess would be

makeup remover/micellular water

water based cleanser

pimple patch

toner

essence

moisturizer

sunscreen stick

ricky

ofc mr young and rich, tall and handsome probably has his own dermatologist who does weekly checkups and treatments

probably has custom made skincare if he even needs it at this point

can he pls share of that with the other boys because some of them really need it…(we’ll get to them later)

my guess would be

$$$$$$

gunwook

oh boy

this is when things start going downhill

honestly i think he has a very basic but clean routine

probably doesn’t bother with any treatments or serums

i don’t see him doing anything that wouldn’t be daily so probably no exfoliating for him either

i feel like he would stick to one brand too just to make things simpler

i’m thinking round lab

he’s probably done some research and it’s a very popular brand in korea

i can see him doing sheet masks too but more in a dog union sleepover animal face mask kind of way

pls why am i lowkey roasting him (T ^ T) in the 0% chance he reads this i’m sorry gunwook ily but you just don’t have that vibe pls tell me if i’m wrong though

my guess would be

foam cleanser (idk why gunwook feels very foam coded to me)

pimple patch

toner

moisturizer

sunscreen

taerae

they don’t call him fashion taeraerist for nothing

i don’t think his skincare routine would be any better tbh

like i simply cannot imagine anything except for hand soap or the all-in-one soap and both options scare me

i feel like as a trainee and then an idol his routine has got to be better though

i hope he got forced to use actual products

probably ended up with drugstore stuff (T ^ T)

so um my optimistic? guess is

cleanser

toner (maybe)

moisturizer

sunscreen (maybe)

gyuvin

same situation as taerae and gunwook but worse somehow

once again!!!!! i’m getting soap vibes from him

boy probably didn’t bring any skincare because we saw what his suitcase looked like

i’m not convinced he even uses skincare at this point (if that is the case i’m so jealous because how do i make my skin look like his)

either that or it’s super chaotic like the most illogical combination you’ve ever seen like only exfoliator and night cream

seems like the type to use skincare when there’s a problem if he even notices that there is a problem

alternatively there is this olay retinol spf moisturizer (my head hurts trying to think of the logistics of this) that i can see him using as his one and only skincare product



jiwoong

finally breaking the curse

jiwoong gives me major vegan good for the environment vibes

i mean he doesn’t even eat snacks so

i feel like he’d like the dr. ceuracle vegan kombucha stuff

also because he 100% drinks kombucha you can’t change my mind

i think his skincare routine is simple but well thought out! like haobin, he’s tried a lot of stuff out and has narrowed it down to the essentials

also probably uses de-aging stuff so he can be an immortal vampire

i can see him using those led face masks once in a while too

it probably freaked the other boys out so much the first time they saw it LMAO

he probably also has the most lifestyle habits to help his skin

like changing his pillowcases frequently, using conditioner that won’t cause acne, staying hydrated, avoiding oily food, etc

he legit is what i aspire to be if i had the same willpower that he does

my guess would be

micellular water

gel cleanser (idk he feels gel coded to me)

toner

essence

serum sheet mask

eye cream

moisturizer

slugging (at night)

sunscreen

yujin

our wildcard yujin!!

i literally have no idea i’m so sorry

i feel like he would pick up skincare either from his mom or maybe one of the stylists from yuehua or boys planet?

would probably just take recommendations from people around him

i’m feeling innisfree for him? might be because he sort of reminds me of wonyoung and ofc who can forget the iconic plump, glowing, hydration boost

my guess would be

water based cleanser

toner

essence

moisturizer

sunscreen

if you’ve made it this far, tysm for reading my random rambling! this is based off of no information except what i know about korean skincare and also what i thought the boys would be like based on their personalities. i couldn’t find bare faced photos for everybody or info on their actual routines but i’d love to find out! so if you know anything about that pls lmk!!

Achieving a Radiant Complexion: A Simple Nighttime Skincare Regimen

In our fast-paced lives, it's easy to overlook the significance of a proper nighttime skincare routine. However, dedicating a few minutes before bedtime can make a world of difference in achieving healthy, glowing skin. Let's delve into a straightforward nighttime skincare routine that will leave you feeling pampered and your skin revitalized!

Cleanse: The First Step to Radiance

The foundation of any effective skincare routine is cleansing. Before heading to bed, ensure your face is free from makeup, dirt, and pollutants that have accumulated throughout the day. Opt for a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type. Gently massage it onto your face using circular motions, focusing on areas prone to oiliness or dryness. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to preserve essential oils.

Recommendations:

Aprilskin Carrotene IPMP™ Hydromelt Cleansing Balm

JUNO & Co. Clean 10 Cleansing Balm 10 Ingredients Makeup Remover 

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser

Exfoliate: Unveiling a Fresh Canvas

Exfoliation is essential but limit it to 2-3 times a week to avoid overdoing it. A gentle exfoliant will remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and enhance the absorption of your skincare products. Look for products with natural exfoliants like jojoba beads or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs).

Recommendations:

SkinMedica AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser 

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant - Exfoliator

Paulas Choice--SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant

Tone: Balancing the pH

After cleansing and exfoliating, toning comes into play. A toner helps balance the skin's pH levels and prepares it for better absorption of serums and moisturizers. Choose alcohol-free toners with soothing ingredients like rose water, chamomile, or witch hazel.

Recommendations:

PCA SKIN Nutrient Face Toner

THAYERS Alcohol-Free, Hydrating Lavender Witch Hazel Facial Toner

SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner

Serum: Targeted Treatments

Serums are packed with potent ingredients that target specific skin concerns. Whether it's fine lines, hyperpigmentation, or dehydration, serums offer a concentrated boost of active ingredients. Gently apply a small amount to your face and neck, letting the serum work its magic overnight.

Recommendations:

COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence

Paula's Choice CLINICAL 1% Retinol Treatment

Derma ProGenix Advanced Anti-Aging Skin Care Serum

Eye Cream: Soothing and Refreshing

The delicate skin around the eyes requires special attention. Apply a nourishing eye cream to help reduce puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines. Use your ring finger to dab a pea-sized amount around the orbital bone gently.

Recommendations:

IMAGE Skincare, VITAL C Hydrating Eye Recovery Gel

Dongyu 5% Caffeine Eye Serum and Under Eye Roller Cream

How Do Anti-Ageing Treatments Work on the Skin?

Ageing is a natural process, but thanks to modern skincare, we now have various treatments that help to slow down or even reverse visible signs of ageing. Let’s explore how these treatments work and why they’re becoming increasingly popular in cities like Ahmedabad.

Understanding Anti-Ageing Treatments

Anti-ageing treatments are designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other common signs of ageing. These treatments range from topical creams and serums to more advanced in-office procedures. Each treatment works differently but aims to refresh and rejuvenate the skin, helping it look smoother and more youthful.

Types of Anti-Ageing Treatments

People are exploring different anti-ageing options to maintain a youthful look. Here are some popular treatments:

Topical Treatments: Anti-ageing creams and serums with ingredients like retinoids, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants can help reduce fine lines and improve skin texture. These ingredients work at the cellular level to increase skin elasticity and firmness.

Botox Treatment: Botox is a well-known treatment to smooth out wrinkles, especially around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for wrinkles, giving in a smoother appearance. Botox treatment in Ahmedabad has gained popularity as it offers noticeable results with minimal downtime.

Dermal Fillers: Fillers add volume to areas like the cheeks and lips that tend to lose fullness with age. By restoring this volume, fillers create a more youthful contour. They are a quick way to add vibrancy to the face, and the effects are usually visible immediately.

Laser and Light Treatments: Lasers are used to even out skin tone and reduce pigmentation caused by sun damage. These treatments help stimulate collagen, the protein responsible for keeping the skin firm and plump.

Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion: These procedures remove the top layer of dead skin cells, promoting skin renewal. Chemical peels can target wrinkles, dark spots, and even acne scars, revealing fresh skin beneath.

How Do These Treatments Work?

Each treatment works differently, targeting the skin’s layers to combat specific signs of ageing. Botox, for instance, works by relaxing facial muscles, while fillers add volume directly to areas of the face. Lasers and peels, on the other hand, encourage the skin to produce more collagen, which is essential for keeping it firm and wrinkle-free. The result? A smoother, younger, and revitalised look.

Benefits and Considerations

Anti-ageing treatments can deliver both immediate and long-term results, making them popular choices for those seeking youthful skin. Quick-fix options like Botox and dermal fillers can enhance your appearance almost instantly, while treatments such as laser therapy and chemical peels offer gradual improvements in skin texture and tone over time. However, it is critical to approach these treatments wisely. Consulting a qualified dermatologist is essential to determine the most suitable options based on your skin type and personal goals. This professional guidance ensures that you achieve the best possible results while maintaining the health and integrity of your skin.

It’s also essential to note that these treatments have potential side effects. Redness, swelling, and minor bruising are common, but they usually fade quickly. For those considering anti - ageing treatment in Ahmedabad, consulting with a trusted professional will ensure you receive safe, effective care tailored to your needs. They can guide you through the options available and help you manage any side effects, allowing you to achieve the youthful appearance you desire while prioritizing your skin’s health.

Conclusion

In Ahmedabad, many people are looking for anti-ageing treatments like Botox to refresh their skin and boost their confidence. With so many options available, it’s easier than ever to achieve youthful skin. If you’re thinking about these treatments, it's important to consult a professional to find the best option for your skin type. At Blooming Wellness, we aim to help you reach your beauty goals with safe and effective treatments. Our team is ready to support you on your journey to looking your best.

November is National Skincare Month

Here are some healthy tips to support your skincare routine in November, and every month.

Wash up. Use warm water, not hot. Wash gently, don’t scrub. Take shorter showers. Longer showers tend to dry your skin.

Wash your face every morning and night. Always remove makeup before bed. Use skincare products that match your skin's needs. Is your skin oily, dry, normal, combination, or sensitive? Do you have a skin condition? Use products formulated for you. Avoid scented products, especially if you have sensitive skin or eczema.

Moisturize both night and day. The best times to moisturize are right after you get out of the shower, and right before you go to bed. Toners are a good way to help balance pH levels in your skin. Look for one that is free of irritants like alcohol, fragrance, citrus, menthol, color, and other strong extracts.

Vitamins should go on your skin, too. Serums and creams like Vitamin C are topical antioxidants, and can help nourish the skin. The skin around your eyes is the thinnest, so it shows the first signs of aging. Even in your 20s, preventative care will keep your eyes looking healthy for decades to come.

When applying eye cream, use circular motions to stimulate blood circulation and reduce fluid retention.

Clean makeup brushes thoroughly at least once a week.

Chose water-based hair products as ones made with oils and waxes can clog your pores and create acne.

Be sure to exfoliate once a week. As we age, skin cells turn over at a slower rate than they did in our 20s. Without exfoliating, dead skin cells can build up on your face and body, clogging pores, preventing products from penetrating. This makes your complexion look dull.

Avoid sun damage by wearing sunscreen 365 days a year, rain or shine. Protect your skin when you’re driving or running errands. UV exposure contributes to signs of aging.

Sun protection doesn't stop at sunscreen - SPF makeup, sunglasses, protective clothing & hats can help prevent damage, which is much better than treating it after the fact.

Don't just watch out for sun, also avoid excessive heat from heaters and fireplaces. It can also wreak havoc on your skin causing inflammation and collagen breakdown.

Don’t use tanning beds or sunlamps. They emit the same harmful UV radiation as the sun.

Drink plenty of water. Drinking water can improve your complexion, help prevent wrinkles and tighten your pores. Dehydrated skin will result in dry, tight, flaky aging skin.

Drinking green tea is also good for your skin as it helps reduce inflammation, improve elasticity, and can help protect you from sun damage. It also promotes cellular repair.

Avoid alcohol because alcohol dehydrates the skin. This causes wrinkles and inflames tissue in the skin. Don’t smoke - People who smoke often age prematurely, have uneven skin coloring and deeper wrinkles.

Eating a healthy diet is an important part of maintaining healthy skin. Eat blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, kale, dark chocolate and other foods that are high in antioxidants.

Avoid sugar spikes as they damage collagen that keeps skin youthful. Proteins in your skin also react poorly to excessive sugar and cause your skin to age faster. In addition, avoid processed foods. They can cause inflammation and damage collagen and elastic fibers in your skin.

Eat healthy fats such as those found in nuts, seeds, avocados, and extra virgin olive oil. They contain antioxidants that help keep skin cells healthy. Omega 3-fatty acids that are primarily found in fatty fishes such as salmon, mackerel, and herring can keep the skin supple and moisturized. Omega-3 supplements are important too!

Avoid excess sodium (salt) in your diet. Sodium can suck the moisture out of skin and leave it dull and dry.

Reduce stress. It can take a toll on nearly every part of your body, including your skin. Treat yourself! Whether it's a facial, massage, or even a pedicure, be sure to pamper yourself to help promote stress relief and relaxation.

Exercise to help boost blood flow, which also ensures that your skin is getting the oxygen and the nutrients it needs to be healthy.

Get enough sleep. Experts recommend about 9 hours a night for teens and 7-8 hours for adults. Try sleeping on clean, silk pillowcases and sheets. The material glides easily over the skin and helps prevent creasing and wrinkles. Sleeping in certain positions may result in sleep lines. After a while, these lines can turn into deep-set wrinkles, so hit the sheets on your back first.

Visit your dermatologist regularly for a full body skin exam to help detect skin cancers. Early detection of skin cancer can save your life.

Sanitize your phone. Pressing it up against your face after touching it with unwashed hands can spread bacteria and clog pores on your face. It can also cause painful pimples.

To kill the bacteria, try cleansing wipes with hydrogen peroxide and wipe down all surfaces of the phone regularly.

Take vitamins because healthy skin starts on the inside! Though you may not associate vitamins with your skincare routine, taking Herpanacine Skin & Immune Support daily is a simple thing you can do for your skin. Vitamin E protects the skin against free radicals and inflammation. Beta Carotene can help brighten your skin tone and increase yourskin's production of collagen and elastin. Herpanacine’s superior formulation of eleven powerful vitamins, herbs and powerful antioxidants do that, immune support and much more for your skin!

How to Shrink and Reduce the Appearance of Large Pores

Pores are supported by a collagen-rich structure that keeps them in place. This structure is made up of collagen and glycosaminoglycans in the deeper layers of the skin.

If the support structure weakens due to age or environmental factors, the pores can sag, dilate, and become more visible.

How to Strengthen the Support Structure:

Protect What You Have: The main enemy of collagen is UV radiation from the sun, which breaks down collagen and damages the support structure. Sunscreen (broad-spectrum, SPF 30 or higher) applied regularly can prevent UV damage, maintaining the strength of the support system.

Boost Collagen Production: Use skincare ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, and niacinamide, which are known to stimulate collagen production. Treatments like microneedling and dermaplaning can also promote collagen production in the skin.

2. Excess Sebum (Oil) Production

Sebaceous glands produce oil that moves through the pores.

When excess oil is produced, it enlarges the bowl-shaped structure at the base of the pore, causing the pore to dilate and become more visible.

How to Control Oil Production:

Use products containing niacinamide, which research shows can regulate sebum production.

Limit sugar intake. High sugar consumption increases insulin levels, which stimulates oil production. Reducing sugar can help keep oil levels in check.

3. Clogged Pores

When pores become clogged with dirt, dead skin cells, excess oil, and makeup, the bowl-like structure of the pore enlarges.

This causes the pore opening to become more noticeable.

How to Unclog Pores:

Remove Makeup Thoroughly: Always remove makeup at the end of the day to prevent clogged pores.

Avoid Comedogenic Ingredients: Be cautious of skincare products containing ingredients that may clog pores (comedogenic ingredients).

Cleanse Regularly: Regular cleansing helps remove dirt and oil from the skin's surface.

Exfoliate with BHA: Use a BHA (beta hydroxy acid) like salicylic acid regularly. Salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores, unclogging them by removing dirt and oil from the inside.

4. Imbalanced Keratinization

Keratinization is the process by which new skin cells are produced and old cells are shed.

When this process slows down, old skin cells remain on the surface, causing pores to appear larger as the skin thickens.

How to Normalize Keratinization:

Exfoliate Regularly: Use chemical exfoliants like AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) or BHAs (beta hydroxy acids), such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, or salicylic acid to remove dead skin cells and promote smoother skin.

Boost Cell Turnover: Retinoids are effective in speeding up cell turnover, ensuring that new skin cells are formed regularly and old cells are removed efficiently.

5. Avoid Squeezing Pores

Physically squeezing or manipulating pores can make them appear larger. While it may be tempting to pop blackheads or squeeze pores, this can actually stretch and distort the pore, making it look worse.

What to Do Instead:

Avoid touching or squeezing your pores. Instead, stick to proper cleansing and exfoliation routines to keep them clear and healthy.

Bonus Tip: Hormonal Fluctuations During Menstruation

During menstruation, increased levels of progesterone can stimulate oil production, leading to clogged pores. This can make the pores appear larger.

How to Manage Hormonal Breakouts:

Cleanse your face regularly during this time, and ensure you're exfoliating with a BHA to prevent clogged pores.

Recap: How to Shrink the Appearance of Large Pores

Strengthen the Support Structure: Protect your skin with sunscreen and boost collagen production with ingredients like retinoids, niacinamide, and vitamin C.

Control Sebum Production: Use niacinamide and reduce sugar intake to prevent excess oil production.

Unclog Pores: Remove makeup, avoid comedogenic ingredients, cleanse regularly, and exfoliate with a BHA like salicylic acid.

Balance Keratinization: Regularly exfoliate and use retinoids to maintain smooth skin and prevent old cells from clogging pores.

Avoid Squeezing Pores: Leave your pores alone and let proper skincare routines do the work.

By addressing these five causes of enlarged pores, you can significantly reduce their appearance and enjoy smoother, clearer skin.

Tired of those pesky under-eye wrinkles making you look older or more tired than you feel? You're not alone! At Comfort Mind Body, we're all about bringing back that youthful sparkle to your eyes—without the stress. 💫

Why Do Under-Eye Wrinkles Happen? The skin under your eyes is super delicate, which means it's one of the first places to show signs of aging.

Your Under-Eye Wrinkle-Smoothing Strategy:

Stay Hydrated: Dehydration is a big culprit when it comes to wrinkles. Drink plenty of water and use a hydrating eye cream to keep your skin plump and smooth. 💧

Retinol Rescue: Incorporating a retinol-based eye cream into your nightly routine can work wonders by boosting collagen production and reducing fine lines. 🌟

Sleep on Silk: Ditch your cotton pillowcase for a silk one. Silk is gentler on your skin and can help prevent those pesky sleep lines that can turn into permanent wrinkles. 😴

Sun Protection is a Must: The sun’s UV rays can seriously speed up the aging process. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen and wear sunglasses to protect the delicate skin around your eyes. 🕶️

Gentle Touch: When applying makeup or skincare products, be gentle. Tugging and pulling at the skin can contribute to wrinkle formation over time. 👄

Lifestyle Tweaks for Brighter Eyes:

Catch Those Z’s: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Your skin regenerates while you snooze, so don't skimp on your beauty rest! 💤
