vanessa encarnacion, If you are producing an excessive amount of oil, I'll _try_ to help you (or anyone reading this interested?), with a few tips. I'm obsessed with skincare lol. The oil acts as a barrier to hold in moisture on your skin. If your skin is dry, dehydrated, no moisture....it will produce a lot of oil as an attempt to save/preserve what little moisture your skin has. I know our skin is not all the same, but I know the feel of having oily skin and large pores. You fear using full-coverage foundation and getting out in the heat, even when using a setting spray and having tried many primers that claim to reduce pores that the sun can offer. --- First and foremost: drink looooooots of water. Hydrate your body to help hydrate your skin. A lot of people I know who had oily skin simply weren't taking in enough water. --- Moisturize. Your skin needs hydration, even when it's oily. It's always good to keep your skin moisturized. Try to use a super light gel type of moisturizer if you can, but you don't want something heavy like a cream or thick lotion type on your face. Keep it light. -- You can also use an oil moisturizer that has a high percentage of *linoleic acid* in its ingredients since your skin is producing a lot of _oleic acid_ (which contributes to producing thick oil on your skin, as well as sebum and closed comedones for your pores). --- Less dairy and sugar (if you're like me and love coffee and candy). Don't have to quit or cut it all out, but less helps. --- Don't use harsh cleansers (like Neutrogena's Ultra Gentle Foaming cleanser). You don't want a cleanser that makes you feel squeaky clean when washing nor one that will feel tight when drying, which will produce even _more_ oil. --- Do not constantly wash. Try to keep it minimal, once or twice a day. Excessive washing brings excessive oil. --- Try some kaolin clay masks. Daily or at least every other day. --- Look into using Black African Soap, which is good for acne and oily skin. --- A lot of people do the *OCM* (Oil Cleansing Method). Oil to combat oil ... who knew, but it works somehow. If you are unsure what it is, Google around and read up on it as it's an interesting method, but it's also very costly and time-consuming. I've done this method before, and really liked it, but it's too much. -- If you have a dermatologist, ask about *Spironolactone* (which is usually only prescribed to women, though) or *Accutane*. Sometimes, unfortunately, people are just genetically born with really oily skin. :( BUT you can reduce it to where your skin is more of a "combination" mix by at least looking into a few of the things I mentioned above. I'm sure there are a ton of extra tips I'm forgetting, but just going for what's most commonly recommended. (also side note... a product I recommend for pores: *Innisfree No Sebum* - It's a Korean beauty product, but it works miracles on mine. In fact, look into many Korean beauty products. Their makeup and skincare line is quite different than popular US/UK based brands and ingredients, and they are more focused on healthy skin.)

LeoniohneE1 its combination skin type and i also have this problems and i hate it 😒

LeoniohneE1 same 😓😫😒

literally me too

It never ends... Theres like no solution

Same though

just make sure if you do these steps to thoroughly cleanse, exfoliate,& moisturize after! or they will clogg&enlarge more!

+Melbel Danielle Thanks! 😁

Ur welcome hunny!

Also even if you have oily skin you still need to moisturize when you keep putting moisture back into your skin you're not going to have as much oil coming through

+Melbel Danielle I'll admit that I am guilty of overmoisturizing my face after I wash it!

TengYin Liang that's how mine are too I hate it!!

sbrook1113 so I end up only doing makeup for my eyebrow, eye, and lipstick; this way the pores are not that noticeable

TengYin Liang mine too I really hate it

Me too ! It's horrible...I wish I had skin like hers, her pores are nothing...Like u said I literally have holes !

yeah, so its important to make sure to remove all the foundations.

I'm so glad you found me too!! Oily skin for the win!! :P xx

+Nikkia Joy Yes girl, definitely! Thanks for replying by the way, it made my day :)

Check out Amy Macedo!! She's another beauty guru with oily skin too!

Clarissa Luna thriftthink has really oily skin too! She's brill

Clarissa Luna Jackie Aina has oily skin, and Desi Perkins has combination oily skin, if that helps!

I find more beauty gurus with oily skin than dry haha

that was the case for me too until I tried the L'Oréal Magic Perfecting Base! Now, I'm not saying it covers them COMPLETELY, but it has worked so much better for me than all of the high end primers. Better than benefit pores no more, smash box pore minimizing and smoothing, better than the baby skin, all of them! I just put some on my middle finger and dab it a couple times to really get it in there and then very gently smooth the remaining amount over the area. I haven't tried this technique yet, but that stuff works the best for me. Hope this helped a little for you :)

I also have huge pores. I feel like when other people say they have big pores then I see them, I'm so jealous b/c mines are always WAY bigger and deeper than most. SO gross but I am thankful for your tip as well, I have this product but never opened it yet but I am tomorrow so than you doll!

You're welcome I hope it works out for you!! I feel the exact same way haha 😂

:) xoxo

but, how do you ladies clean your face after putting on make up? I have very big and really deep pores, I understand the feeling when someone says they have ugly pores and I look at them and its nothing like mine. I feel like I have the worst skin. I'm afraid its going to clog my pores if I put so much face products.

Yay! I'm so glad it helped x

Thank you so much!! Im so glad to be able to help fellow oily skin sufferers! :) xx

Nikkia Joy what's the name of the exact brush you use to go over the pores?

Same here!

you need to use acid exfoliators maybe? not sure

There are manual exfoliators, like ones that use beads to manually buff away dead skin. Whereas chemical/acid exfoliators use natural acids such AHAS like lactic and glycolic acid and also BHAs (salicylic acid) to break down the dead skin and they also penetrate deeper into the pores! Even though it has the word acid (which sounds scary), they are actually way better to use for your skin as manual/regular exfoliators can create microtears if scrubbing too hard. And generally chemical exfoliants create better results!

Me too it sucks!

Sierra Allen same

+Aida Spahiu thank you lovely. That's the whole purpose of my channel. To helps others feel more confident 😘

exactly what happens to me

Same here I have really sensitive skin. I'd break out easily doing this lol

I have combination to oily skin, large pores and breakout prone skin and I use these methods and find that they don't break me out. Two key things to remember though: 1. Make sure all tools used (brushes, hands etc.) are very clean. 2. Make sure to thoroughly cleanse and exfoliate the skin both before AND after makeup application. Increasing the number of times I exfoliate per week has done wonders to reduce the appearance of my pores. Also, make sure your skin care routine is all covered (cleanser, toner, serum, moisturzer, spf, etc.)

+iFauxPas Omg I all I use is a cleanser. I don't even know where to start with the rest :( I do have an exfoliator but I always forget to use it. How often do you exfoliate?

i'd recommend once a week, since over exfoliation can cause breakout too

Same here

I've got a tutorial on covering dark under eye circles! Just search it on my channel. If this doesn't help feel free to reach out and ask any questions that you still have :) x

Thanks a lot Nikkia I will check it out x

+Anna Andreou use a plumping under eye cream like "yes to blueberries" it helps to plump that under eye skin a bit and moisturizers as well! :)

Oh Jackie I am so so glad it helped you!!!! :)

I love her nail polish also. What is it?

Awww I'm so glad this video has helped you! Please feel free to ask me any questions if you ever need to! x

Nawww thank you! x

Happens to me.. i really want to avoid this

If you do this just make sure to deep cleanse your skin afterwards ;)

+Carolina Rivera because it will clog up your pores

It hasn't clogged my pores or caused my skin to break out. Just make sure you cleanse your face when removing your makeup each night :) x

+Carolina Rivera Thank you so much for the tip!! :)

+Nikkia Joy Thank yoh so much for replying!! I apprecite it. And great, thank you!! :)

Madison Clarke really it will dissapear my pore?

Me too and the foundation separates and looks nasty

+GloBall89 same for me :(

:/

Ditto

it's so annoying- does yours smear too? Even with primer and setting spray?

It's translucent so it should be

It's completely translucent so should be fine! Test it in store first :) xx

try bare minerals

+Kayla Ivery you're so welcome lovely

(I don't think they're your friends if they're giving you a rude nickname like that)

haha they don't say it in a bad way. its cute

frouto poto Haha, okay, good to know. :)

frouto poto my ex best friends use to call me that too, but not for that reason😂 it's a cute nickname!

frouto poto 😬😂😂😂😂🍓🍓🍓

I do hate it :(

Skye Litvack I feel you girl! My pores are huge but I have dry skin.

Mers ahuh it's the absolute worst. texture and gaping holes haha! what do you use to counteract it? do you a primer suggestion to fill pores for dry skin??

Skye Litvack The best thing I have found is the porefessional by benefit but I only use it on my t zone because it makes my dry skin even drier! Yet it is the best thing that I know. I do not know why are all these pore minimazing primers are always for oily skin😩

I know - All products needed are always for oily skin. Plus I get acne - the only products to combat this issue are intended for oily skin. How do companies not know about us yet - seems outdated. Thanks for your input :)

Skye Litvack I really hope that brands realize that there are people with large pores and dry skin!

not

Some people are lucky enough to not have visibly pores

+natalie cohen visible*

i only have them on my nose

blankwolf 3

Maybe Wyne Goss brush checkout his vdo about filling the pores with the same technique with a similar brush

They are called Milia! They can be easily removed with an extraction facial :)

I have milia bumps too! Haven't figured out how to remove them yet tho...

Shelly Rae Reed Yes. I tried this and I got a huge brake out. Now I have very dry skin so idk how it will work for people with oily skin. Merry Christmas to you also❤ hope your Christmas is amazing and that you eat a lot of great food👍🏼😃🤗

Shelly Rae Reed when I was watching her I thought I heard her pores scream out "I can't breathe" lol ;)

I'm so glad you loved it! xx

Your pores are nothing like mine.

+Mandee Kulp sorry to hear that but I have oil skin but I got small pores

Take two icecubes and massage your face everyday!! It will help. Also you can make ice cube out of water mixed with little aloe vera gel, or you can freeze watermelon or cucumber juice then use that for ice massage , it will make your skin radiant

Use coconut oil on your skin each night before bed! It will make a world of difference to your dry skin xx

Tell me you gain a positive result after doing this regularly .. Plz

Hahaha!! If only I could help you with your government also! :P

Nikkia Joy if only 😂

Omg yeeees Tear in My Heart

Omfg, UK?? We're the worst for potholes in the roads, winter seems to bring a new crater every day. RIP suspension 🙄🙄

I have concerns about this too. Maybe it is something to do only when you really need flawless skin, and not everyday =P

I agree, its probably good just for special days, where you don't expect to be out for a couple days afterwards as the pimples fester and simmer down again! lol! I'll still try this process out a few times and test it, because who knows, maybe this is some sick wedding day advice makeup wise!

I have oily-combo skin with some enlarged pores and I do full make-up 5+ days a week (I work for Clinique). I use primers, full coverage foundation, maybe some concealer, plus cheeks, brows, eyes, and setting spray. In addition to finding make-up that works for my skin type, I also have to make sure my skin care routine is on point. That's how I avoid getting break outs. I use make-up wipes to take the bulk of my make-up off, maybe use micellar water on cotton to get the rest off, and then use an oily skin cleanser to wash my face. After that it's an exfoliating clarifying lotion (that's what Clinique calls it's "toner"), any serums I am using, and a gel based moisturizer. I also take my make-up off right when I get home so it can breathe, and wash my face before putting make-up on. I used to be miffed by the time I spent on my skin care, but now I look at it as my "me" time and as something enjoyable. Just gotta find the products that work for you!

Aww thank you 😊

Right!! looks gorgeous without the makeup!!! They were just a bunch of haters 😠

yes

IamMissPronounced Yes!!!!! I had to squint a little! 😂😂😂😂😂

Yes

Sameeeee

I'm so glad it helped you Shelley!! And thank you for your lovely comment :) x

but, tbh she's prettier than khloe

Fausia El faus i thought i was the only one who thought that!

I want to know too :)

Apollo-milkchocolate ..... Nail polish.. loll Sometimes I think I can actually be funny...

Skyer Crafty1515 I thought the same...

I started taking care of my HUUUGE pores a couple of years ago (im 28 now) i cleanse and scrub my face with products without perfume, u know gentle stuff with natural ingredients, and i also use a comedon extracter to get the deeper black and whiteheads out. Now i actually see an improvement, they seem smaller. They only get larger if they are clogged and not cleansed over a long period of time, U know, the older skin gets the more it looses the elasticity . (Sorry for my english) 😊🌸

it should be fine as long as you're cleaning off the makeup after the day is done. Also making sure to exfoliate before even putting the makeup on

As long as you clean your skin properly at night its fine!

+Nikkia Joy how do I do that lmao. honest question

same here! I am scared that if I put products to hide them that they will just all clog in there and it will get worse. I don't know how to clean them thoroughly without hurting my skin.

+L Mathis you should try the vanity planet ultimate skin spa system ! I just got it and it really makes your skin clean after a day of makeup and it makes your acne fade away! You should look on the website I'm so happy I got it

conchette1 thank you, I never heard of it before. I'll check it out.
