    Just rub ice 3 times a day. The coldness will tighten the pores in your skin around those areas and all the dirt and oil that’s stuck in your skin will get squeezed out. And no dirt or oil will get in when the pores tighten up. Make sure to wash and scrub those areas with warm water before so the pores are open because of the heat. Then apply ice.

Pores don't open and close with heat, and they can't squeeze out dirt while doing so 💀 oil based cleanser clean out pores, and along with other products, you can minimise their appearance, and people with sensitive skin can find products that work for them. The only thing warm water/steam can do is soft the dirt so it's easy wash out, and the only thing ice can do is help with puffiness.

      You don’t even “need” creams. They’re a preference. You need one good face wash that’s not going to destroy your skin barrier, and then some sunscreen and moisturizer which often come together. That’s the bare minimum for a skincare routine. I personally like serums and creams but they aren’t a necessity.

Oil cleanse first (I usually do mine on dry or slightly damp skin) 2. Let the oil sit for 1-2 minutes so the good stuff in the oil absorbs into the skin 3. Wash off with a damp wash cloth (especially cause the oil I use clogs my drains haha) 4. Follow up with my normal face wash

    speaking from personal experience, you can use pore strips sometimes, but the best they can do for you is nothing. you don't need a 15 step skincare routine, ALL you need is to wash your face once in the morning, once at night, use 1 moisturizer after washing that works for YOU (not something influencers tell you to buy, you just gotta trial and error your way through it, also they don't need to be expensive to be good), and wear sunscreen when you go outside.

      yes lets tell that to a board certified dermatologist because she obviously doesnt know what she’s talking about
      anyways everyone’s skin is different and has different levels of sensitivity. what works for you might not work for everyone buddy

    I like that you said pores "appear larger" rather than actually get larger. A lot of people don't realize that the pores stay the same size, it's just that they appear larger or smaller

    Wash your face with warm warm water, not hot not cold, use soap, rinse and use cold water to close your pours. Shower the same way, warm water soap, then rinse with cold.

    Lol no way. Nose strip feels so awesome whenever I remove to remove and my skin becomes so smoooth afterwards. I’m not ditching it 😂😂😂 and besides, it’s so satisfying to check all the stuff that came out 😂

      It can damage/irritate your skin, and if your skin heals with any type of mark it might not look flattering. and you could search online for ways to check everything that came out the pores.

    thank you! I have sebaceous filaments and I had listen to another dermatologist and he said if you have these than use an oil based cleanser and rub it on your nose for five minutes, use a clay mask here and there, and use niacinamide. But I didn’t get an exact routine so I was kind confused and now I know what to do ☺️

    I just make sure to regularly clean my face and before I go to bed, I use a clear skin thing that’s in a blue bottle that’s designed to help with spots and preventing them. It’s usually around £3 or £4 in the uk

    Also, using the strips can fatigue the pores and lead to a more 'lax' and 'open' appearance.
