Small holes on my face!

So Iโ€™m 35 and I have noticing more and more the small holes in my face and itโ€™s making me look old and my skin does not look smooth and clean. Does anyone have any help on how to correct this problem or am I stuck like this forever???

RE: Small holes on my face!

@Anonymous Those are pores. There are a few things you can do but the best is an acid toner. I personally love and use Tarte Knockout Tingling Treatment. It is a chemical exfoliater and will clear out your pores while refining youโ€™re texture. Now, if youโ€™ve never used an acid, I suggest starting slow, twice a week, until your skin gets accustomed to it. I use acids twice a day but I have been doing that for years and my skin is not sensitive at all. They can definitely be your best friend. Just remember to use sunscreen everyday. If you donโ€™t, it can actually cause more damage.

As we age, the elasticity of the pore walls weaken and pores tend to open up more, unfortunately. You can look for skincare products that claim to reduce pore size or "tighten" pores, but these will only make a small difference. If you are really concerned, you may want to consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon about laser options. I have large pores on my nose and I use a pore filling primer (Benefit Porefessional, Dr Brandt Pores No More, there's one by Tarte that's good too) before my foundation and it helps my skin look much smoother.
