deflate and clean pores, the ones on your nose once a week with a pore strip

The most potent ones are: CoffeeBerry, idebenone, green tea, pomegranate, and Coenzyme Q10.
5. wipe out dark spots
they can be lightened in as little as a month. hydroquinone should be dabbed directly onto brown spots every night
6. brighten up
get rid of dead skin cells, by using an at home glycolic acid peel twice a week
7. don't forget hands and neck
use sunscreen every day and use retinol at night. dab hydroquinone on sunspots, and exfoliate twice a week

How to look good in a photograph
1.Position yourself right
Make sure the photographer is just a tiny bit below your eye level. That will elongate your body and make you look thinner. If you're shot from above, you could look squat.
2. head it off
First, stretch your neck up (like a flamingo). Then lower your chin a little and look into camera, this will help avoid double chins.
3. don't say cheese
Don't say anything at all. Talking makes it easy for you to be caught up in a weird moment. Open your mouth like you're in the middle of saying cheese.
4. shift your weight
Then put the leg that's holding less weight slightly in front of the other. Turn body at a three-quarter angle to the camera, but keep face looking forward. You'll look curvy, with a smaller waist. This is what celeb's do to look thinner! Never put hands behind back or you'll look out of proportion.
5. look up
Stare just above the lens-this will open your eyes and make it look like you're energized. And blink, so you won't look like glassy eyed freak.
6. don't freeze
Don't stiffen up, when the photographer counts to three.
