Minimizing Pores

RE: Minimizing Pores Post By Sharon (Guest Post) (02/01/2008) what about a microdermabrasion for you skin does that help? Oprah says that she loves it. Do any of you guys know which microdermabrasion she uses because she says that it makes her pores very tight.

PUT IT ON LIKE A FACE PACK TO THE AREAS WHERE THE PORES ARE MOST NOTICEABLE - LEAVE IT UNTIL IT HAS DRIED A LITTLE - THEN ONCE YOU HAVE RINSED IT OFF COMPLETELY - APPLY A THIN COAT OF NON PERFUMED HEAMAROID CREAM/JELLY - HAEMAROID CREAM IS ALSO GOOD TO APPLY ALL OVER YOUR FACE AND WORKS IN THE SAME WAY AS A FIRMING FACE CREAM - BUT MAKE SURE TO GET NON PERFUMED LOL BECAUSE IT HAS A VERY STRONG DISTINCT AROMA AND YOU MIGHT GIVE OFF THE WRONG MESSAGES HAHAHA RE: Minimizing Pores Post by Anonymous101 (28) | (09/02/2007) Contact Try using the Dr. Hauschka range. I don't have the same skin type as you, but apparently, their range has helped a lot for other people with oily skin and large pores. For starters, you could try their 'Daily Face Care Kit for Oily Skin' - it has everything to get you started; cleanser, toner, mask, etc. Check out their online site (kit) at: http://www.drhauschka.co.uk/productinfo.php?product=20 Or check out their reviews for the kit at: http://www.drhauschka.co.uk/comments.php?productCode=20 It's all natural ingredients, too and a lot of people have liked this brand! Good luck! RE: Minimizing Pores Post by cookwie (931) | (06/21/2007) Profile | Contact Use Biore Deep cleaning pore strips. Once per week or less on a clean face. Don't talk on the phone, drink, chew gum nor eat when using the strip. You want your face to be perfectly still. Occasionally smooth down the outside of the strip when wearing it. The strips need to make good skin contact. Available at probably most drug stores, Target, Wal-Mart... Sometimes the strip leaves a little gunk behind - just wash it off. The strips come in a box. http://www.biore.com/usa/index.asp?fp=1 LARGE nose Pores!

RE: Minimizing Pores Post By (Guest Post) (01/08/2007) take 1teaspoon yeast and soak it into milk for 15 minutes and then apply it on your skin for 30 minutes.It will help to almost finish your pores problem, without drying your skin but be sure that you use this remedy for at least 2weeks daily, before going to bed.Do not use this in the morning it wont be that effective.Do not use warm water to wash your face. RE: Minimizing Pores Post by cookwie (931) | (11/12/2006) Profile | Contact A dermatologist once told me that facial skin is very delicate and not to scrub it. She told me to always use chemical peels as they do not injure the skin. RE: Minimizing Pores Post by susanmajp (609) | (11/12/2006) Profile | Contact I have extemely oily skin my face. I have found that if I use a facial brush to clean my face both morning and night with a good cleanser, my pores are so much smaller. It also breaks out far less often too. I had nothing but problems using my hands or a washcloth. RE: Minimizing Pores Post by sunshinesweeti (1) | (11/12/2006) Contact actually i also used to have oily skin and vichy normaderm is amazing, i always tell all my friends how my face got so smooth and defined yet they never go and buy the product becuase of the price, but its definitely worth it plus more, i started off with the face wash and now i have almost all the products under the normaderm name anyway. i highly recommend it. =) RE: Minimizing Pores Post By Lynda (Guest Post) (11/12/2006) Most folks have a "Combination" skin, both large and tight pores, on separate parts of their face and neck. Best advice is to NOT overdo with ANY product. EASY does it, and DO NOT USE ANYTHING WITH MINERAL OIL ! It is the biggest offender for producing larger pores, as most professional Cosmetologists know. Oil of Olay is o.k. for mostly tight pores, but not so good for oily skin. A good multi-vit/mineral along with Vit. E supplement is conducive to good skin. Don't EVER use bar soap of ANY kind on the face or neck, only mild liquid unscented body wash. Neutragena, although more costly, is safer than most anything else. Watch the talc content in makeup and cheek blushes because it can clog also. Do NOT use HOT water, but rather tepid luke warm washes and rinses. Ice water is for skin in the VERY BEST condition to begin with. Also, blow dry your skin after blotting with a clean face towel to MAKE CERTAIN it is dry before adding ANY SORT of creams, moisturizers, etc., to minimize fungus growth beneath the coverings. I prefer to use a dry hand "glove" scrubber once a week to the largest pore areas only, then wet it and use lightly on the tighter pore areas. When blow dried, one can apply a tiny dab of Neosporin with a clean toothpick tip, should there ever be a blemish. It seems to treat most every sort of blemish effectively. I like to use non-oily makeup SPARINGLY, using a new toothpick for filling any tiny lines, and only using makeup around the nose and mouth areas, fading into the rest of the face, then brushing on blush lightly on the cheeks. I use a lipliner then chapstick for lipgloss, giving it a very natural look which I enjoy and on which I am complimented frequently. Hope this helps? God bless you. : ) RE: Minimizing Pores Post by wordswork (76) | (11/11/2006) Contact Hi, Dominique. I'm a firm believer in taking very good care of our skin and thus recommend a good quality toner. Please check with some of the "better" skin care lines: Mary Kay, estee lauder, etcetera. That said, Oracle's simple recommendation of ice water is good. You might also enjoy an egg-white facial masque or an oatmeal masque. Take care of that skin!

There are more products to minimize pores than rats in the subway in your city. However, I recall the movie Mommie Dearest, where "Joan Crawford" plunged her face into ice every morning after cleaning and before going to the studio and that really thick makeup. I remember my Mom doing the same thing. If you have an icemaker, maybe this would work for you. Otherwise, I'd call up Olay, and ask what they'd do.
