As a huge fan of proper skincare (with the occasional slip up, because nobody’s perfect), I love a double cleanse after a long day with a full face of makeup. While I have several brands that I reach for, Benefit Cosmetics is top tier and affordable!
In case you didn’t know this already, Benefit is more than just brows. They make my favorite bronzer and go to waterproof mascara, as well as the blush I’ve been wearing on repeat lately. That said, they are also The POREfessionals and know a thing or two about how to care for your pores.
If you haven’t tried anything from their Pore Care line outside of their primer or setting spray, here are some of my top recommendations.
Get Unblocked
The reason I love a double cleanse system is the oil based cleanser you start with. This makeup-removing cleansing oil really breaks down makeup and dirt! And I cannot recommend following up with a gel or foaming cleanser enough.
Tight ‘n Toned
A pore-refining AHA+PHA toner that foams to gently exfoliate skin and make your pores look smaller and your skin smoother.
Deep Retreat
My current go-to clay mask! It’s purple which is cute and comfortably unclogs pores and makes masking fun.
Honestly any product from their collaboration with Scrub Daddy (yes, the sponge brand) would make an ideal addition to your skincare routine to help care for your pores. Since the collaboration mini set is sold out, I’ve also linked to a makeup eraser alternative that I have, use, and love!
