These days, I'm scared to look in the mirror because my pores have suddenly gotten bigger.
Lately, I've been feeling a little hesitant about sitting down at my vanity every morning. My skin used to look smooth even with just a light layer of foundation, but at some point, the areas around my nose and cheeks started to stand out. I'm especially surprised to see my pores enlarged, especially when I look in the mirror in a brightly lit cafe. No matter how meticulously I prime my skin, it doesn't look as clean as it used to, and it's frustrating. A fleeting thought occurs: perhaps my cleansing and moisturizing habits are lacking. I've tried switching base makeup products multiple times, but the results are only temporary, and after a while, my pores start to enlarge, leaving me feeling incredibly stressed. Everyone around me tells me my skin is beautiful, but I can't figure out why those tiny pores look so big. I'm at a loss as to whether the frequent late nights and company dinners have caused my skin to deteriorate, or if this is the root cause of my enlarged pores. Do you have any effective skincare tips or recommendations? I'm really curious to know how you manage your skin's sagging vertical texture. What kind of know-how do you all have?
