Help with pores

[agranheim]

I need help. Seems like the pores on my face around my nose are larger than ever...I hate it. I feel like I have to really put concealer over them just so they are not noticeable. Anyone know of a good pore reducer? I have tried pure pores already - didn't notice a difference. A skin care specialist told me I needed more moisture that my skin was too dry. Anyone have any good suggestions? I have pretty dry skin - very little oil and I moisturize morning and night. Any info is appreciated, Thanks!!!

I dont know what would be good for you since you have dry skin. My skin gets really oily and I was getting large pores around my nose and cheeks as well and I started using Neutrogina Clear pore Daily clenser/mask. And also Neutrogina Pore Refining clenser and thats been working pretty good however it makes your skin dry. So if you do use that you may want to get a good moisturizer as well. Also Queen Helenes Mint Julip Mask works for me pretty well if I use it on a normal basis a couple times a week, but also, can be drying so its best to use with a moisturizer.

Thanks so much for your post! This is not the first time I have heard of Queen Helene's mint julip mask - i am going to try it! Happy Turkey Day!!!

I use Prescriptives Magic Line Smoother before foundation. I apply it on my nose, cheeks, and the section between my eyes. It fills in the pores and when I put my foundation over top it really leaves a nice flawless finish! I also use Queen Helene Mask-- its excellent!

P.S. My hair used to be as blond as yours and I sure miss it *sniff*!!

BTW Welcometo MUT!

Is that anything like english ideas primer or smashbox photo finish or Dr. Feelgood??? I have had a problem with these - I think I don't wait long enough to put on my base after I use these. How long do you wait after you put the primer on and then go to the foundation?

Oh, and I just changed my hair to a slightly darker blonde color, I kinda miss it too but hate the upkeep - I am thinking of going red???? probably a light strawberry blonde.... not sure though but I have always been blonde - it is really hard to actually take that step.:icon_conf

Its not really a primer just a "pore filler". I'm not a fan of primers at all and I don't use one. I wait a few mins before putting on foundation.

I was blond for 10 yrs and just a few months ago I dyed my hair brown-- it was really hard. I had to force myself because my hair was so damaged and i just needed a change as well. The upkeep was so expensive too! I'm glad I did it but at times I still crave the blond.

Its awesome i love it. PLUS its super cheap. I find it at the dollar store all the time.

i have a clinique pore refiner...i think it works but not on my sensitive skin though. maybe that would help :icon_bigg

 

[greeneyedangel]

Sounds interesting, when/how do you apply it?

Hi im new here.

I wud suggest u start from skincare

I also have open pores and oily skin. Over my nose n cheek. Hv been using so many skincare before.. include SKII refining treatment and neutrogena essence (up to 5 tubes).. hmm seem doesnt work at all. :icon_twis :icon_twis

3 months back, i tried to used Cellex C Complexion Mask and Line Smoother.

And started to use Cc Cleanser in November (meaning that less than 1 mth)

I notice that my pores is less visible and my skin looked flawless.. less oily and matte all over the face.

Forgotten to say... i also can say bye bye to my acne too.. :icon_love

liz_dee..what products do you use? are they available in the US?

 

[Liz_Dee]

Yup.. its a Cellex C.. its a dermatologist recommended.

I bought it from Florida. Its quite expensive in my malaysia... I think is much cheaper outside there. I really really recommend this product.

My acne, my oily skin, blemish and scar all gone. Now pores reducing.

U can try 2 prod 1st which is clnsr and toner (mist)

Your skin will be glowing and radiant. really worth the money.

Now i wanted to buy High Potency Serum but no budget yet. haha.. :icon_chee
