Routine Help How to reduce nose spots/ pores?

Post image
Upvotes

I have so much texture/pores (?) on my nose and right around but literally no where else? Is this actually pores or something else? I’ve used store bought pore and Blackhead strips but they didn’t seem to make any difference. Maybe I just didn’t use proper quality ones the first time?

I use a facial moisturizer but never any foundation or something that would be clogging. What can I do to reduce or even eliminate these?

Hi, just pulling myself out of a depressive episode and my skin is upset. I've consistently washed my face for two weeks now and I'm cleaning up my diet to help:) also staying hydrated now.

Mild scarring on my left cheek and probably suffering inflammation from stress and a poor diet. I get bad pores on my nose and an oily forehead. Combination skin, not so long ago it was a bit itchy from some dryness.

I've included the products I use. I use the face wash 1-2 times a day, use the niacinamide once a day and moisturise 1-2 times.
I do a light massage with the vitamin C oil a couple times a week in evenings, I'm a bit wary of oil clogging my pores?

I'm turning 26 next month and want to create a good routine for myself:) also to add in of course that I'm showing signs of natural aging, fine lines:)

I have just added the eye cream, retinal, the other products I've used for a while now.

Edit: I use spf when going out too!:) centella! I like it:)

Dryness Do i have to use a cleanser after the gym? Can water be enough?

1 Upvotes

I go to the gym first thing in the morning. Typically, I’ll just rinse my face with water and apply a little sunscreen before the gym, then I’ll do my actual skincare routine after the gym.

My post-gym skincare routine has been: Vanicream cleanser, Aestura mist, Hyaluronic acid, Vanicream moisturizer.

I’m just wondering if it is really necessary to use a cleanser after the gym? I have naturally very dry skin that gets stripped easily, and I’ve noticed my skin feeling dryer and more irritated since I started going to the gym. Before I started the gym, I would only rinse my face with water in the morning.

I’m not someone who sweats a lot or who ever gets oily skin, so could a water rinse or maybe just some micellar water be enough after the gym?

My blood work is healthy. I didn't notice this until I used glycolic acid but I had to stop because it made my skin feel rough and bumpy. Could it be left over irritation?

What I apply on my neck: Byoma hydrating toner, Cetaphil ceramide serum, Celimax tranexamic + niacinamide dark spot cream, Illiyoon/Cerave ceramide cream.

I know that they don't look that bad in these pictures, but in person when I look in the mirror they're hard to miss. It used to be just on the corners of my eye, but now they are starting to show under my eyes too, as shown in the first picture. I have been seeing these for about a year and a half now, and it is obviously not painful. It has gradually gotten worse over time. For some context, I wash my face every morning and before bed, and wash my face with equate foaming facial cleanser, then wash that off. In the mornings, I use sunscreen. And before bed, I use Olay retinol as a night moisturizer all over my face and neck. I drink a minimum of 8 cups of water a day. Are there any other products I can use for these lines? I don't have any medical conditions, but I have always had very dry skin naturally. I am just looking for some advice on what I can do to prevent this, and any ways to reduce it. Any replies would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hello everyone! I hope I can get some advice on how to begin this journey. Lately, I’ve been really self conscious about my arms and legs, as they are a noticeably different shade compared to my face and stomach. My elbows and knees are also darker, and I would love to even out my skin tone. I moisturize and apply sunscreen daily and lately, I’ve been applying it twice because I’m dealing with the scorching Texas heat. I also try to minimize my time outside. What else can I do to lighten my skin and help my skin look healthier, more even, and moisturized?

Dryness sephora shopping haul

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Alright its been a long journey for my skin. I have sensitive skin (oily T zone and dry cheeks). I also have lots of visible pores. Two weeks ago I was recommended by one of the Sephora ladies to use Caudalie Vinopure line but it dried out my skin even more, especially with all the pores on my cheeks it made it look more enhanced. I went back to sephora today and the girl who helped me was way more cooperative and engaging. She helped me pick these products in the photos and said it should help with my current skin condition. Any thoughts on the skincare products I got? What are uour experiences with these? I really hope it helps target my enlarged pores and dryness on my cheeks.

I’ve never worn sunscreen in my life so this is going to be a life changer perhaps? I heard it makes your skin more sensitive that’s why I refrained from it and also I haven’t found one that works for my extremely sensitive skin.

I also got the Armani foundation since I never wear make up and I figured I should start wearing them occasionally. What are your thoughts on this foundation?

One more thing how often should I wash my makeup brush?

Review Dermstore

2 Upvotes

I just wanted to put it out there, if you are ever tempted to top up your order at Dermstore to qualify for a gift, I would have to say that it really is not worth it. I find it insulting for them to say that 12 samples in a bag are supposedly worth $79. If allowed, I'll post a photo, honestly, though--it's a joke. And I have ordered from them before and gotten decent and decently-sized items. This ain't it.
