A Bit About Promise Cosmetics

For this post, I have partnered up with Promise Cosmetics. Everybody wants promises to be kept, especially when it comes to skincare products. However, this disconnect between what skincare clients are promised, and what we receive, is a problem. Hence, Promise Cosmetics was created, a skincare solution that would combine the highest quality ingredients with advanced formulas and the best cosmetics technology.

Now before I get into some of the tips and products, I think it is essential to understand some of the causes of enlarged pores and blackheads.

How to Minimize, Prevent, and Treat Enlarged Pores On The Face

What Causes Large Pores and Blackheads
Enlarged Clogged Pores 
When the skin produces too much sebum oil it can mix with the dead skin cells in the pore. This oil becomes trapped by the dead skin cells and dirt which causes the skin to swell and the pore to become congested, forming a clogged and enlarged pore.

Blackheads
The reason your pores enlarge is to provide room for the oil to flow out. However, the oil can still become trapped. If this happens, the oil and dirt can collect at the end of the pore, and when it is exposed to air it will oxidize forming, and viola, a BLACKHEAD!

How The Heck Do My Pores Get Clogged 
Aside from dead skin cells, if you have experienced enlarged pores and blackheads, you probably have seen that some environmental factors can make the situation worse.  While there are quite a few things to avoid, we put together a list of some of the most common ones that we knowingly or unknowingly do daily.

Sleeping In Your Makeup
You see when we go to sleep we are renewing our body, mind and more, which includes the skin. Wearing makeup to bed prevents your skin from this renewal process. Which can contribute to clogging your pores and outbreaks.

Not Cleaning Your Makeup Brushes
Let's first start with the fact that our makeup brushes can harbor bacteria and dead skin cells, YUK, and who wants to put that on their skin, NOT ME!  However, if you are NOT cleaning your makeup brushes regularly, you are putting this nasty stuff back on your face.

Properly washing and storing your makeup brushes can keep your face clean & healthy. Furthermore, cleaning your makeup brushes will ensure they remain in the best shape and increase longevity. Makeup brushes are just as essential as the makeup itself, so taking care of them is necessary.

Washing Your Face With Bar Soap
Some do not understand the importance of skincare and think a basic bar of soap with do the job, but this is far from the truth. You see a bar of soap used to wash your hands, usually contains harsh ingredients that can dry your skin. This drying soap pulls the water out of the surface of your face creating the dead skin cell build up.

Sleeping On A Dirty Pillow
You want to make sure that you are washing your pillows weekly.


Your Cell Phone
Think about where that bad boy has been and then you are putting this on your face. While you can’t always have your phone on speaker, keeping antimicrobial wipes (for your phone) close by is a must.

Excess Sweat
Working out is awesome, but wearing makeup to the gym or not correctly washing your face after a work out can cause your pores to clog.

Dehydration
Unlike the common belief access oil production can be because your skin is dehydrated. When our skin is dehydrated from a lack of moisture your body makes it up by overproducing oil.
