Skin concern
Texture & enlarged pores
Rough texture, visible pores & skin that has lost its smoothness.
Where pores are largest, they can cover close to a quarter of the cheek. That's why it reads as texture, not separate spots.
Texture & enlarged pores
How visible your pores are comes down to two things: what collects inside them, & how firmly the skin around them holds its shape. Genetics sets the starting point. The other two can change, so the aim isn't to close pores. It's to empty them, & firm what holds them.
What drives it
Two ways a pore is made less visible
The same pore, treated two ways.
Full, and losing firmness
Emptied, and firmed
Darker, and easy to see
Lighter, and easy to miss
Oil & dead cells collect in the pore & darken it. You're seeing what is inside it, not the pore itself, which is why clearing it shows so quickly.
Facials help with this
Skin that has lost some firmness lets a pore sit open. Firmer skin holds its edge, so the same pore looks smaller. That's what the advanced treatments are for, & it's the half that takes a series rather than a single visit.
Advanced treatments treat this
What's in your pores?
Filament or blackhead?
Light grey or yellowish dots, mostly on the nose. They're a normal part of every pore, not a clog, & if you squeeze them out they refill within about a month.
HydraFacial & Oxylight keep them down
A plug of oil & dead skin that blocks the pore, which is why it looks darker than a filament.
