Minimizing Appearance of Pores

Minimizing Appearance of Pores - What works

Рет қаралды 134,019

4 жыл бұрын

Eliminating pores are impossible, however, we can certainly reduce the appearance of them with good skincare practices. I'm identifying what can make pores look more obvious and the treatments that can remedy those causes. These are some of the ingredients and products that have, really made a difference to my pores. These actives aren't meant to be used all together at the same time. I alternate my active products. I use acids a couple of times a week on my retinoid off-nights. I either use AHA (Winter) or BHA's (Summer) but that's just me. I don't like to overdo the exfoliation. If you are starting out on retinoids, the other acids shouldn't be necessary. If you are new to this, take it 1 active at a time! Slow and steady.
No gimmicks here, I'm not a fan of strips and pore brushes etc that tend to be more abrasive to my skin than necessary. The treatments I like are effective without tearing off a few layers of epidermis. As always, consistency is key! Enjoy!

The Ordinary range has made a world of difference to my skin. TO Salycilic Mask really vacuums my pores. After my first use I experienced a real purge for a week. Huge blackheads were popping out all over my TZone. All that said, I believe steaming is one of the most helpful treatments you can give yourself. I double cleanse, steam, wash the steamed water on my face, pat dry with paper towel, and follow with a mask on soft, open pores. In my sixties, I have a way to go before my pores appear less 'irregular, but the results so far are deeply satisfying. Thank you for this very informative video. ❤

What significantly improved my redness & texture: 1 - Applying at least 3 layers of hydrating toners/essences (I really like Hada Labo Gokujyun, Gokuyjun Premium and Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner) and using mists (I usually stick to thermal water/La Roche-Posays’ Serozinc) in between each layer. What I found out is that hydration is THE KEY to keep the redness at bay. I no longer suffer from flare ups 🥳 2 - (I can’t stress this enough) Using your exfoliants (I use 10% PHA serum/BHA toner + Finacea 15%/20% interchangeably) in the afternoon. I do this right after washing off my makeup when I come from work. Then at night I wash my face with a gentle cleanser (LRP’s Toleriane for example) and again, focusing on hydration + sealimg it all in with a good occlusive. This improved my texture DRAMATICALLY. It’s still there, but it isn’t nearly half as bad as it used to. 3 - I had Soolantra prescribed by my dermatologist about 2 years ago. That was the first thing that actually helped me with my texture. She told me to use it for no longer then a month. I experienced quiet a bad flare up in the 2nd week, but it quickly went away. Btw, Metrogel didn’t help me AT ALL 😒It honeslty felt like a total waste of money 4 - Niacinamide & tranexamic acid both improved the red patchiness in my skin that usually comes with rosacea. Hope it helped :-)

I started to break out all over my nose in the last year. I tried everything to help clear it up - Paula's Choice BHA, Origins Clear Improvements, Good Molecules Niacinamide Serum, BR 1970, the "Super Pore Killer" technique, visits to facialists. What finally ended up working was cleansing with LRP's Salicylic Face wash primarily on my breakout-prone areas, leaving the wash on my face for a few minutes before washing it off, exclusively in the morning, when I'm not using retinoids, or any other acid treatments. I have also stopped drying my face after washing. Instead I apply products to damp skin. I cannot recommend trying these methods enough if you are having similar problems.

@shannondennard5687 4 жыл бұрын

@@maryarmstrong2231 We all have different skin (obvi), so what works for me might not work for you. But if you're still struggling with breakouts, try out leaving the cleanser on for 1-3 minutes before washing off - you don't have to spend money on a new product, so it's worth a shot.

Hi Renee!!! I am writing from Zakynthos a Greek island next to Italy!!! I love make up and skincare. While i was watching your videos I understood how much more important is the skincare so the make up has a perfect appearence. I started with the Ordinary expecially because some of the products are really dificult to find them here in Greece and I am alittle bit confused. I would kindly like to ask you a video with the basic directions for girls that start to care a little bit more about their skin. A concise video for weekly skin care with all the tips. for example retinol only at night not every night not with vit C, Lactic acid is for....Niacinamide is for... Thank you in advance!!! I am a huge fan!!!

Those plus the Ordinary retinol/retinoid products (and other TO products, lets be honest) have worked wonders. Tazarotene is ROUGH on my skin. Is there an ideal percentage to start with? And YES to the double cleanse-it’s magic.
