Visible and enlarge pores

Dealing with visible pores

How to avoid enlarge pores:

1. Be gentle on your skin and never scrub hard. Whenever you apply something on your face make sure to use your middle finger and your ring finger, apply lightly.

2. Use pore therapy toner beauty products or any product specifically formulated to minimize pores. I use Eskinol pore therapy facial wash and toner it delivers maximum effect on my skin.

3. You can use honey facial mask at least once a week, it has anti oxidants that is good to your skin.

4. Use ice wrapped in a small smooth cloth in the morning after washing and apply lightly on your face at least once to twice a week depending on the severity of your enlarge pores.

5. Follow simple steps on skin care and eat lots of fruits and vegetables to have glowing skin.

Follow this simple steps and you can see a difference on your skin.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

There is really no standard form of beauty. It remains solely on the eyes of the beholder. In Asian countries especially in the Philippines having light and fair skin is considered beautiful as well as having a pointed nose, so people with foreign ancestry known as mestiza is generally perceived as beautiful. However, in western countries having tan skin tone and having features of an ordinary Asian girl is considered beautiful. Noting these observations people considered uniqueness and extraordinary in their community as special and beautiful.

In Asian countries having black hair and tanned skin is considered ordinary and having a different hair and eye color is considered special and beautiful. Beauty really is only within the conditioning of your mind but let’s not forget having clear skin and shiny hair is still considered lovely no matter where you live. So whenever you feel ugly look at yourself in the mirror and accept your image. Think of the things that you can change and accept your uniqueness and remember you are a beauty to people in some parts of the world.

Ugly Duckling

I am always touched with the story of the ugly duckling let’s just say that I can relate to it. You see as a young child I don’t consider myself beautiful but just an ordinary looking girl that blends into the crowd. I’m not even popular and nobody notices me. During that stage in my life I don’t remember being told beautiful by someone. Growing up I am always skinny and I like playing outdoors so my skin was dark and dull. I have naturally thick wavy hair that always frizzy because I don’t use a conditioner. My eyebrows are naturally thick and out of shape.

In High school I befriended someone that showed me how to improve my appearance. Actually we became best friends until now. She taught me how to use beauty creams, facial cleanser, toner, whitening soaps and lotions. As my appearance and self esteem progress my circle of friends also multiplies. It was a school exclusively for girls so I don’t have male friends yet.
It was in College that I began to realize that I am beautiful. My classmates elected me as a muse in our class. I was the one who represented them in our school’s annual beauty pageant. I even won 2nd runner up. My popularity grows so does my dates. I notice that guys would tell me that I’m pretty and whenever I pass by the corridors they would call my name. I began to realize that it’s really important to take care of your self and bring out your best features. It’s best to learn how to use cosmetics to accentuate your assets and hide your flaws. It’s also necessary to dress your self well and take good care of your skin and hair.

When I finished college I got a job right a way although my sibling told me that I only got hired because of my appearance, I know in my heart that I also have the necessary knowledge. I also believe that it’s partly true, let’s face it people love aesthetics. We love beautiful things and want to be surrounded with it. In our country it’s difficult to find a job, the unemployment rate is high and there are few earning opportunities. In one job position there could be twenty to fifty applicants. Out of twenty only five people could pass the rigid examination and on the interview the applicant with pleasing personality is preferred.

Years passed by smoothly for me and there came a time when I was invited in our elementary reunion. Once there nobody recognizes me right a way. I have long straight shiny hair, expressive eyes, beautiful glowing skin and a slim body. They could not believe that I was their classmate so many years ago. The guys that ignored me back then where interested in me now. Somebody even bring our elementary year book and stared at me noticing the difference he told me that I have really blossomed into a beautiful lady.
