Q: How to minimize pores on face?
A: The appearance of skin pores varies depending upon your skin type. Pores are of two types - one releases sweat, and the other releases the skin's natural oil or sebum. Pores that release sebum tend to appear larger, and in most cases they are clogged too.
To minimize the appearance of pores on your face and tighten your skin, you must follow a sound skin care routine of cleansing at least twice a day, especially if your skin is oily. Follow up with a skin toner with ingredients such as rice water & rose extract, as these are natural astringents that tighten pores without drying out the skin.
Also, protection against sun exposure goes a long way. Use SPF daily, especially before stepping out. SPF products, such as the Jaivique Sun Safe SPF45, form a protective barrier on the skin against sun damage, as well as prevent dust, pollution & other impurities from entering your pores and clogging them, which is a main cause of large pores.

Q: How to get rid of clogged pores on cheeks & the rest of the face?
A: Clogged pores are a result of the excess buildup of oil or sebum, which gets stuck in the pores, especially if they are enlarged.
This clogged up sebum appears as blackheads or whiteheads on the surface of your skin, or it can also get infected and turn into pimples & acne.
If you are a teen or adult with excessively oily skin, are undergoing hormonal treatment or suffering from hormonal imbalance, you are likely to suffer from any of the above-mentioned skin conditions resulting from clogged pores.
Here are some simple steps to get rid of clogged pores on your cheeks, nose, chin & the rest of the face:
1) Cleanse your face at least twice a day with a mild yet effective face cleanser helps dislodge oil & dirt stuck in your pores and rinse it out. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, or have been out in the sun, you must cleanse your face as soon as you return indoors to prevent any buildup in the pores.

2) Don't skip the toner post cleansing. Skin toning is as important as cleansing if you want to shrink your pores. Toners contain astringents that instantly tighten pores upon being applied to your skin. They also remove the final traces of dirt, oil & makeup that might have been left behind by the cleanser, and rehydrate your skin. Being water-based, toners hydrate skin without adding to the oil buildup.

3) Next, to prevent pores from getting clogged, it is important to tighten them. Moisturize your skin with a water-based face gel with skin-soothing, healing & anti-ageing ingredients. This will tighten your pores when used over time, help control excessive oil production, soothe acne & pimples and give you clear, radiant and beautiful skin.

Q: Which product helps refresh skin?
A: For skin to be refreshed, it needs to be cleansed at least twice a day. You must cleanse more frequently if you spend a lot of time outdoors, especially in the sun.
Make sure that the cleanser or face wash that you choose is suited to your skin type, and doesn't simply lather up on your skin's surface. An effective cleanser actually enters your pores and, when rinsed out, removes deep-seated impurities such as oil, dirt, pollution, makeup etc.
After cleansing, don't forget to apply a skin toner to instantly refresh & rehydrate your skin. It removes final traces of buildup that your cleanser might have left behind, and refreshes skin as soon as you apply it. You will see visible results within a week of starting to use a toner regularly.
