What are Enlarged Pores, and Why Do They Happen?
Pores are tiny openings on our skin that allow sweat and sebum (oil) to escape. While completely normal, genetics, sun damage, aging, and even an improper skincare routine can lead to enlarged pores. Here in Pakistan, the hot and humid climate can also contribute to excess oil production.

1) Glow stash Salicylic acid facewash and cleanser
The good news is, there are ways to combat enlarged pores! Glow Stash's Everyday Glow Salicylic Acid 2% Cleanser is a hero product in this fight. This cleanser acts as a double agent:
- Cleansing Power: It removes dirt, makeup, and excess oil, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and clean.
- Exfoliation Magic: The key ingredient is salicylic acid, a BHA (beta hydroxy acid). Unlike AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) that work on the surface, BHAs penetrate deeper into the pores, dissolving dead skin cells and preventing future breakouts.
Many cleansers can be harsh, stripping away natural oils and leaving your skin feeling dry and irritated. But the Glow Stash Salicylic Acid Cleanser is formulated to be gentle. It's perfect for all skin types, even those on the sensitive side.
How to Use the Glow Stash Salicylic Acid Cleanser:
- Wet your face with lukewarm water.
- Apply a pea-sized amount of the cleanser to your fingertips.
- Massage gently onto your face in circular motions for about 30 seconds, focusing on areas with enlarged pores.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a soft towel.
- Follow up with a moisturizer suitable for your skin type.
Glow stash Exfoliating Facial Gold Scrub
For those who prefer a physical exfoliant, Glow Stash offers the Exfoliating Facial Gold Scrub. This luxurious scrub gently buffs away dead skin cells and other impurities that can clog pores and lead to blemishes.
A Touch of Gold:
Adding a touch of glamour (and some supposed brightening benefits) are the gold flakes in the scrub. While the scientific evidence on gold's topical benefits is limited, it certainly adds a touch of luxury to your skincare routine.
How to Use the Glow Stash Exfoliating Facial Gold Scrub:
- Wet your face with lukewarm water.
- Apply a dime-sized amount of the scrub to your fingertips.
- Gently massage onto your face in circular motions, focusing on areas with enlarged pores. Avoid the delicate eye area.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a soft towel.
