Someone help my skin please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AngiJ]

I am hoping someone can please help me.  I am 53 years old.  I've always had an issue with enlarged pores on my cheeks and nose.  But lately my skin has lost it's mind.  I don't know what is wrong with it.  Now it's not just my pores it's other areas of my face.  Before I could always was my face, serum, moisturize.  Then I would apply a primer to all the areas of my face that did not have enlarged pores and the areas with enlarged pores I would apply a pore minimizing primer.  Everything was fine, makeup on good to go.  Now, pore minimizers no longer work.  I have tried them all.  Expensive brands, cheap brands.  And the areas on the sides of my nose from the inside corners of my eyes, under my eyes and upper cheeks looks normal until makeup is applied then everything looks scaly like snake skin and the rest of my face looks spotty where the foundation just sinks into my pores.  I've tried sponges, brushes and fingers to apply.  No difference.  I exfoliate.  No difference.  It takes me over an hour to just try and get foundation on so it doesn't look like this and again I have tried so many brands, cheap and expensive.  I am sooooooo frustrated.  Please any help is appreciated.

for covering them, i find if you also dot more pore minimizing silicone primar over/ with foundation before you blend the foundation in (so you blend them together) works miracles

I found that the best way to actually help reduce the pore size and not just cover it, is at home peels. Two times a week I use Exuviance PeelAP 25 and they are amazing. Fine lines, wrinkles, pore size, redness etc they treat everything, I saw a difference in my huge pores on my chin I was always embarrassed about within the first use. I get them at Dermstore. Com or Ulta. I Would definitely try it out I really think you’ll have great benefits. Also if you haven’t tried it yet IT cosmetics bye bye pores is pretty amazing at concealing them.

If you're willing to spend the money, Fraxel laser treatment can minimize pore size. Rather than cover up the pore problem, how about try to improve it with real lasting results.  Good luck !!!
