Now that I'm in my late 30s, I'm more conscious of my pores.

I'm a man in my late 30s, and lately I've been secretly worrying about my skin.
I've always had somewhat enlarged pores, but recently they look even wider around my nose and cheeks, and the scars from old acne breakouts seem to stand out more for no reason. My skin isn't breaking out or having severe breakouts, but overall, the texture feels rough and it feels like it has lost its elasticity.

I've been washing my face with a gentle product and focusing only on hydration lately, but honestly, I don't really notice any significant changes. Haha. I'm a bit confused whether this is a natural change as I get older, or if I'm taking my skincare approach wrong...

If anyone else has struggled with enlarged pores and light acne scars like me, I'm curious to know what kind of daily care helped you.

I'd love to hear your experiences on whether you felt a noticeable difference from consistent skincare, or if dermatological procedures made a definite difference. 🙂
