Open pores on my leg.

I should have addressed this problem a long time ago. Before I had children I always had very smooth legs, I tan easily so my legs were always nice and brown.

After my first pregnancy 9 years ago my legs looked terrible my left leg in particular is full of open pores and I don't know how to shift them. Because my legs are always covered up now they no longer tan and are pale and pasty.

What happened in my pregnancy that made this happen to my legs and why are they still like it?

Don't have a scientific answer but I've had this on my lower legs since I started shaving. Upper legs are fine.

When I get my legs out I use a bit of Vichy Dermablend over the open pores, let it rest for 5 mins then layer with some wash-off bronzer if legs needs a bit of colour. Works really well but a bit of a faff.

Have heard laser treatment is better than shaving for less noticeable pores but haven't tried it.

Pores are a pain :)

Thanks, I will try that. I don't shave I use Veet. My body just seemed to fall apart when I got pregnant Sad.
