@Cdtoewalker @Did you introduce anything new in your skincare or makeup?

@MSIpanda @You can watch YouTube tutorials and attend free masterclasses. This is the page where we post classes Virtual Masterclass Thread Also, a good start is knowing what kind of look you want-natural, glowy, full glam, etc

@ather Awww thank you 😊

@sinfulpeach No idea, sorry. It's been a week, so hopefully soon!

@Emy10 @From previous sale experience there is one in April and November. Now with the program change we all have to stay tune and see. There isn’t a thread for the upcoming sale dates because we won’t know the date until it gets leaked.

I'm sure everyone on the mailing list saw this but: PMG MTHRSHP MEGA launches Friday 9/25 at 9 AM ET.Also, the product page for this mega MTHRSHP palette is live at PMG direct. None of the other holiday product pages are accessible yet. Boooo, I wanna see more info and swatches of the quads right now! /impatience Looks like Friday's launch might be just for the palette, and other holiday items are on a staggered release schedule.

Hi @5Apples ! By "open pores," do you mean your pores look bigger than usual? BHA (salicylic acid) can get down into your pores to clear the gunk that's making them appear stretched wide open. Have you already tried a BHA product? Could a cleanser (you'll have to let the cleanser sit on your face 3 minutes or so to give the BHA time to work, and then rinse it off), toner, leave-on exfoliant, acne pad, etc. Usually a 2% BHA product is plenty effective. The Ordinary makes a 10-minute BHA mask... The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque . I've never used it (all my BHA products are made by Paula's Choice), but it came to mind since you asked for a mask. 🙂 It contains 2% BHA plus charcoal and kaolin clay. You don't have to use it the full 10 minutes or apply it to your entire face. On my combo skin, I don't use any face scrubs. My oily zone (on and around my nose) is the second most sensitive part of my face, and scrubs are too irritating for that skin. I just use a gentle hydrating cleanser (Paula's Choice Hydralight). 1-3 times a week, I use a BHA leave-on exfoliant to keep my pores clear. Once in a while I use a charcoal mask, usually just on my oily zone, sometimes on my jaw if I've got acne there. I like Paula's Choice Pore Clarifying Charcoal Mask or Origins Clear Improvement® Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pores 2.5 oz/ 75 mL for that. My oily zone's pores will never look invisible like the pores on my dry zones. If you also have visible pores, you'll never be able to "close" or "shrink" them—and that's okay! There's nothing wrong with visible pores. But if they look bigger than usual, you can address the crud that's stretching them wider.

Oily with dry patches, sounds like you have combo skin. Remember that even if you have oily skin, to not restrict your skin too much by using mattifying products, as it can make things worse. If you are using that Milk Hydro Grip product, ill say this, and this is my opinion, i tried it myself too, and after feeling what it did to my skin, i would avoid it. I also have combo skin, and that hydro grip thing seems very concentrated and could be one thing that doesnt help your skin. Have you consulted a dermatologist? Do you have a skincare routine to take care of your skin first? 🙂
