Hello again Mama's!
I have recently noticed while doing my make-up that my facial pore's are getting bigger! HELP! I have been using Oil of Olay pore reducing facial wash for about 3 month's but haven't noticed anything? They just seem to become more visable! I also have been using L'oreal Ideal Skin Genesis minimizer and yet I still have them! They are right along my cheek bone's. I don't know whatelse to do or use?! Have any of you had this problem? Have you done something about it or used or recommend something to help REALLY minimize them? I have a wedding in September and i'm afraid i'm going to have crater's on my face! Any tip's will greatly be appreciated! Thank's in advance!
Get some microdermabrasion treatments. It has helped mine and use Bare Minerals make-up.
HUUUGE difference in how they look!
Nikki has it right - but to minimize the appearance.....
pick up Neutrogena's pore minimizing toner AND
Mally beauty pore minimizer. I have never loved a product so much in my life...You will never believe how smooth and poreless your face looks after using this. It is like magic!! (you can thank me later=)

Arbonne's RE9 Advanced anti aging skin care will help minimize pores. If you want to try a sample that will last you about 10 days PM me. We also have a great color line and our Make Up Primer really helps with pores too.
Good afternoon, N.! Unfortunately, I share your pain, because my pores are friggin' huge! I hate it! From what I've read and the dermatologists I've talked to, there's not a whole lot you can do to 'reduce' enlarged pores because they are already stretched out. You can reduce their APPEARANCE and their are products out there that claim to reduce the actual size but most of them don't work and if they do it's only very temporary. I prefer to minimize the appearance. Accomplish this by reducing shine with matte finishes and products that reduce or absorb oil. There is a product at Sephora called medi-matte that is incredible for this. Then, use a matte foundation to finish off. After that, it will barely be noticeable.
Good luck!
I noticed the pores on my nose look bigger when they are the dirtiest. To clean my face when I want to especially clean them out, I use a pretty abrasive exfoliator - St. Ives Apricot Scrub. Then after I do this I use the Neutrogena Oil Absorbing Acne Mask (even though I don't have acne) when I get out of the shower. This seems to reduce them as much as I've been able to. Good luck. If you find the answer, post it! I'd love to try something different that may work for me too :)
Nikki has it right, can only really minimize. Also, dirty pores tend to look bigger so make sure you use an astringent or something to really clean. And the worst of it is that as we age (we as in women), they appear larger.
Clinique makes some pore minimizing products. I use a lotion and I can see the difference. I use it daily but it is basically covering up the pores. I don't know that they are actually getting any smaller (or if the product is suppose to make them smaller) but they are less visible when I am wearing it. Good Luck!
I use witchhazel as a toner. It can be drying but its super cheap and works!
I second Clinique. they have a new pore minimizing product that has gotten rave reviews. Good luck!
Hi N.~
Try a probiotic (available at a health food store, Whole Foods, online, etc...It is what a natural yogurt contains~ which you can also take, it will say live cultures on the label)~ it doesn't happen over night but if you continue taking it daily you will see the results.
Hope this helps!
Kind Regards ~
H.
