Frequently Asked Questions About Skincare for Pores + Shine
Does toner reduce shine?
Yes, some toners can offer great shine control for face, especially when combined with a clarifying and balancing skincare routine. Some toners are designed specifically for oily skin and will help regulate oil production which will then reduce shine on your skin.
How can I make my forehead less shiny?
By following a balancing skincare routine focused on shine control for your face, you can clarify your skin effectively, keeping shine at bay. Start with a clarifying cleanse, followed by a toner, serum, and oil-free moisturizer. Opt for lightweight, oil-free formulations that won’t add to the shine or clog pores.
Which vitamin is good for open pores?
If you’re looking for products to minimize pores, try those containing vitamin C or niacinamide—also known as vitamin B3. A potent antioxidant, vitamin C is a great solution for oily skin and clogged pores as it has plumping and brightening benefits to help reduce the appearance of pores and even out skin tone and texture. Niacinamide is another great option to help clear pores so they look less visible. It also helps improve skin tone and smooth skin.
What serum minimizes pores?
Alongside vitamins, there are many other pore-minimizer skincare options, including powerhouse ingredients salicylic acid and retinol. Try a BHA serum or retinol serum to help clear out pores, balance, smooth, and prevent any potential breakouts too.
