What are pores?

They are small openings on your skin in which oil, sweat and dirt are trapped in it. There are 2 types of pores - sweat pores and oil pores. It allows the oil generated by the sebaceous glands to seep into the skin surface and lubricate the skin. The presence of sebum helps keep our skin healthy and moisturized. However, over production of sebum is not good either as your skin will appear oily.

It is not possible to get rid of pores completely, but it is possible to make them look smaller. Here are 3 simple and effective ways to reduce the appearance of large pores.

Give our newly relaunched Morning Glow a shot - featuring a new pump mechanism, it has a wider opening to allow the cream texture of the sunscreen to pump out smoothly and now it comes with a locked pump (so the pump can't be removed) this ensures that it is really air-tight for the pump to work properly. This improved packaging will dispense Morning Glow properly without splattering or difficulty. Furthermore, we have noticed that sunscreens tend to pill after wearing a mask - this is due to the moist environment of the mask (due to our breathing) and repetitive rubbing when putting on and taking off a mask. To prevent Morning Glow from pilling, we have reduced our Niacinamide to 2%. This will also allow customers who previously are new to niacinamide to use the product without worries. At 2%, it is still effective to help blemishes fade more quickly. In place, we have added Hyaluronic acid which helps to reduce redness and acne scarring.
