Treat Enlarged Pores the Caffeinated Way

If dabbing tissues to absorb excess oil is part of your everyday routine and your search history includes how to treat enlarged pores, then you’ve come to the right place! Enlarged pores are one of the most common skin concerns and can be quite frustrating to deal with. 

In order to treat any problem it’s important to get to the root of it. So, first let’s learn why you have enlarged pores.

What Are Pores and Why Do They Become Enlarged? 

Pores are small openings at the top of our hair follicles that produce oil called sebum. It keeps the skin supple, nourished and healthy. However, sometimes these pores produce excess oil and become enlarged. 

There are several reasons for this, genetics being the number one cause. Oily skin, sun damage and aging can be other factors that make your pores appear bigger. 

While we understand the pressure to achieve flawless and smooth skin in this era of social-media can be frustrating, we hate to break it to you that when it comes to getting rid of enlarged pores, the reality is that you can’t – you can only shrink them a little. Pores are there for a reason, as mentioned earlier they secrete natural oil that nourishes the skin. However, pores can appear to grow in size as we age. So while you can’t get rid of pores permanently, you can do a lot to prevent any texture from becoming overly pronounced. Here are some of the options for keeping large pores in check – no Abra-Kadabra required here.

Cleanse Daily

Daily cleansing and regular exfoliation are the key to keeping enlarged pores at bay as there’s a simple logic behind it, pores free of dirt and gunk will be harder to spot, but to get them like “CLEAN” clean you need to open them up. Try dabbing your face with a hot towel before scrubbing and cleansing with our Anti Pollution Kit and buff away all the dirt and impurities! This kit has Coffee Face Wash that removes excess oil & dirt and deeply cleanses skin. Coffee Face Scrub helps unclog pores and buff away dead skin cells without making the skin dry.

Mask

A mask can prove to be your secret weapon to unclog and treat those pores as it wicks out the excess oil. Excessive oil can make your pores look 5x larger so clearing out the gunk is essential and our Cappuccino Coffee Face Mask with Salicylic Acid - Kaolin Clay can do the trick for you. It’s enriched with Coffee, Caffeine, Salicylic Acid, Kaolin Clay and Almond Milk which controls acne and excessive oil.

Moisturize

One of the major causes of enlarged pores is acne and to keep a check on it, one needs to moisturize daily to keep the skin hydrated and nourished. Try going for an oil-free moisturizer like our Coffee Oil-Free Face Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid - Pro-Vitamin B5. It is packed with skin- friendly ingredients like Coffee, Hyaluronic Acid and Pro-Vitamin B5, which control excess oil by maintaining skin hydration.

Give That Mirror A Break

Well, this had to be said. Dear caffeinators, no one sees your pores the way you see it in the mirror, so, loosen up a little and stop putting your skin under the microscope every now and then.
Pores are natural, and we don’t want to make false promises to you that you can get rid of them overnight. But what you can do is refine them and follow a skin care routine that will keep a check on your skin’s health.
