Skincare Routine
Growing up, my skin had always been clear and smooth and it is something I’m grateful for. But recently, my face began to get oily and I would have a few pimples coming out now and then, at a point I even had this annoying rash on my forehead but I think that was due to school stress. I tried using medicated powder but it was of no use, I finally got this medicated soap called ‘Tetmosol’, it cleared the rash but I still had pimples and my face was rough still, especially in my T zone (T zone includes the forehead, the nose, and the chin, because they form a T). I didn’t do anything about it at first, after all, my pimples were gone, right?

A Guide to Everyday Makeup
Step 1: Cleanse your face and neck to remove any dirt and to clean out your pores. I would recommend using Garnier Micellar water or cleansing milk with a cotton pad. This will leave your face feeling fresh without the use of harsh chemicals. Your face will be left looking smooth and vibrant. Alternatively, wash you face with hot water to remove any dirt and then wash with cold water to close up the port to stop any more dirt from entering.

When my sister hit 30, she realized that she should be taking care of her skin more these days.

There's nothing I hate dealing with more than facial hair. The sight of it bothers the hell out of me and I really... really hate it when it gets in the way of my makeup. Whenever I'm applying foundation or powder, the foundation doesn't properly buff into my skin because the little strands of peach fuzz are making my makeup look streaky. Then when I set my foundation with power, all of the strands are sticking up and my makeup looks ugly.

10 Ways to Naturally Make Your Pores Smaller
I have massive... massive pores. I feel like no matter what product I use, nothing is shrinking my pores because I can clearly still see them. Even the more high-end products that are specifically designed to hide your pores don't work on me. Having large pores is super annoying because not only are they visible when I don't have any makeup on, but they're extremely visible when I want to hide everything with foundation, concealer, and setting powder. This is why I'm very fixated on decreasing the size of my pores.
