I've been worried about my pores for three years, and this is how I've been managing them lately.
I've been worried for a long time because the pores on my nose and cheeks are really wide. When I wear makeup, I can see the foundation soaking into my pores, so I really wasn't confident about my bare face.
I've tried all kinds of things. Pore pads, pore creams, toners... They were good only for a moment, but as soon as I turned around, it went back to how it was, so I almost gave up.
Then I tried PicoFraxel at a dermatology clinic, and it was a bit different. Rather than the pores themselves shrinking noticeably, I'd say it felt like my skin texture became more refined and the pores stood out less. After three sessions, the creasing of my foundation definitely decreased.
I heard that maintaining a proper oil-moisture balance is important before the procedure, so I am paying attention to that as well. Please take note if you have concerns about your pores!
