Minimising pores

[Humphreyshead]

I have very obvious pores. Which have never really bothered me.m until recently. As I’ve got older the wrinkles have appeared more, my face looks like crepe paper and I’m only 40! The pores seem much more obvious because my skin is no longer smooth or plump.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have very large pores too. I drink too much caffeine and not enough water so that's probably the main issue but I find it very hard to drink water.

I drink a lot of decaf coffee and tea. Some water but not loads

What I’ve seen to help:

Enzyme cleanser
Paula’s Choice BHA Liquid Exfoliant
Facial oil

As regards diet - salmon and avocados make an instant difference but more generally plentiful oily fish and a huge amount of vegetables and fruit really support skin maintenance.

Also, you are likely to see an improvement as you move through middle age - so don’t despair.

A niacinamide serum or green tea serum will help.

You can't actually make them smaller but a good skincare regime can make them less obvious. The main thing seems to be a good serum and moisturiser.

Thank you. I use a retinol and a vit c along with perfect and protect night cream.

Glycolic acid peels.
Salicylic acid daily cleanser.
Dermatologica personalised night cream.

They've all massively reduced mine.

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant really helps to minimise them and Elf Pore Putty Primer does what skincare can’t!
