It was a great question and one I know a lot of people wonder about, so thanks for asking! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04108209313329136795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269769402504502110.post-21471255555342884802011-12-16T02:57:30.088-05:002011-12-16T02:57:30.088-05:00Thanks for answering the question I sent and for ...Thanks for answering the question I sent and for the product recommendations. I really appreciate it. I often hear about masks, exfoliating beads and toners helping with pore size and so I was confused with this. Thanks for the clarification. Now I know not to fall for the face primers that "smooth pores and lines". <br /><br />Thanks againStory of a Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371714380978968566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269769402504502110.post-10452424309513055182011-12-15T12:06:28.459-05:002011-12-15T12:06:28.459-05:00MakeupAriel,

If I can help even one person sift through the rubble, I'm happy :)<br /><br /><i>((hugs))</i>,<br />Glad this got to you in time! Keep in mind, cosmetic treatments like silicone based primers can be combined with your BHA/retinol routine, so you can get the best of both worlds- and there are so many primers on the market now, there's no reason to spend big bucks to get a good one. I recommend Olay Regnerist Serums- the silicone base smooths pores and fine lines, plus it's a great protective and anti-aging formula to boot!<br /><br /><i>DalaLuz</i>,<br />Though oily skin is more prone to showing large pores, it's definitely not the only cause or skin type affected. Sun damage, genetics and just plain aging play a role too.<br /><br />As you mentioned, a gentle exfoliation routine can be all someone needs to make pores look smaller. As dead skin accumulates, it builds up around the edges of the pores, making them look larger than they really are. Sloughing off that skin can make pores, and even fine lines, look better. Your choice of AHA to exfoliate is a great one- I actually prefer chemical exfoliants myself because, in general, I find them less irritating and harder to mess up than manual "scrubs".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04108209313329136795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269769402504502110.post-33339270931156093872011-12-15T10:53:34.017-05:002011-12-15T10:53:34.017-05:00My large pores do not stem from oily skin, so I/m ...My large pores do not stem from oily skin, so I/m using a AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) exfoliant to help my skin look a bit fresher and finer pored.
