Pores stretch out and look enlarged when they become clogged with a combination of sebum and grime. The best defense is to gently and regularly exfoliate your T-zone (forehead, nose and chin area) with a scrub , and follow with a regulating tonic.

DARK UNDER-EYE CIRCLES?

Fatigue, poor circulation and genetics are just a few reasons why we get under-eye circles. When the damage is done, camouflage is the key to restoring your face to a youthful glow. Prep the delicate skin around your eyes by thoroughly blending eye cream into the area. Using a medium flat brush, apply concealer — be sure to get the area at the inner corner of your eye, where it meets your nose. Choose a concealer one shade lighter than your skin tone or one with a yellow hue to counteract the blueness. Consider a concealer that contains light-diffusing pigments for an eye-brightening effect.
