Open pores and Eminence Skincare

Pores are openings in your skin that contain a hair follicle and a sebaceous gland. When oil and dirt clog your pores with an ugly sludge of impurities, the diameter of the opening actually expands so the pore appears larger and more prominent. Our best solution is to remove dead skin cells by exfoliating regularly and ensuring that pores stay clean and tight.


Our recommendation: Pear and Poppy Seed Microderm Polisher. This exfoliant is one of the best ways to get rid of large pores caused by blocked openings. A gentle exfoliating mask, the polisher buffs away dead skin cells, improving the texture of the skin and leaving it glowing.

Ageing and Sundamage

Age and sun damage can alter the look of your pores. With age, the skin produces less collagen and becomes inelastic. The sun causes further damage to aging skin, leading to a greater loss of firmness. The end results are pores that are larger and distended into an oval shape due to slack skin.

Our recommendation: Balancing Moisturizer Duo. The Green Tea T-Zone Mattifier in this super-duo targets the skin with active ingredients including green tea, willow bark and tea tree oil that reduce the appearance of oil on the skin and specifically control pore size.

Gender and Genetics

Sometimes, you're just genetically predisposed to inherit large pores, especially on the nose and the cheeks. Men generally have more pronounced pores than women, as do women undergoing hormonal changes. Your skin type is also key: People with oily skin tend to create more sebum, increasing the likelihood of clogged, enlarged pores.

Ingredients to look for in skincare

Antioxidants

Your skin's knights in shining armour: antioxidants, including vitamins C and E. They act as a powerful defence against damaging free radicals (oxidants) caused by pollution, smoke, ultraviolet light, toxins and other environmental factors. Unchecked, free radicals harm the skin and lead to visible signs of ageing. You will find antioxidants in everything from cleansers to serums to daily moisturisers. Consuming antioxidant-heavy foods and beverages, like green tea and vitamin-C-rich produce such as oranges and red peppers, may also have an age- delaying effect.

Lipids.

In skin care, the term refers to the good-for-your-skin fats that are found naturally in our skin and help keep moisture from escaping. The ones to look for: Linoleic acid,vitamin E  and ceramides, which are in many creams and lotions. They help replenish and reinforce the skin's protective barrier to maintain moisture balance.

Peptides

Peptides are amino acids which penetrate the skin to address common skin-care concerns, including wrinkles, from the inside out. They are extremely effective as they  work by stimulating the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, two natural components of skin that people lose as they age. Because collagen and hyaluronic acid work to support the skin structure, their loss results in wrinkles and sagging skin.Eminence Artic Berry cream contains -Peptide Illuminating Complex: antioxidant-rich mix of hibiscus seed botanical peptides, gardenia stem cells and yellow plum extract

Natural Oils

Oils are hot for a reason. Jojoba, avocado, calendula, prickly pear, argan and grape seed extracts help stave off drying and provide skin with rich emollience without clogging pores. In cleansers, these natural oils help break down makeup and remove impurities.

Butters

Shea and avocado butters are extremely gentle and soothing for skin. They provide maximum moisture and prevent dryness.

Caffeine

Caffeine is an anti-inflammatory that soothes and comforts troubled skin. When found in skin-care products with brightening benefits, caffeine aids in minimising discoloration. In eye creams, it reduces the appearance of dark circles improve circulation reducing puffiness and fine lines. Skinceutical AOX eye gel.

Vitamin B5

Vitamin B5 softens and conditions your skin so it's primed for the next treatment step. Applying a product with the vitamin (found in certain gels and moisturisers) on your face not only increases hydration but also improves softness and elasticity, helping to rehab dry, rough skin.
