Enlarged Pores and Oily Skin
Blemishes, blackheads and whiteheads can be beaten with facials, der
If oily skin's not bad enough, enlarged pores will finish the job. Without proper skin care, blemishes and clogged pores will haunt your beauty routine.
If you have oily skin, you probably suffer from enlarged pores too. Excessively oily (especially T zone) areas of your face cause clogged pores, and clogged pores get bigger. Permanently. You may also be prone to blackheads, whiteheads and painful under-the-surface blemishes. Who knew beauty could be so fun?
This kind of skin requires extra work. Forget the advice of your girlfriend with the perfect face. She doesn't know what it's like to be born with problem skin, and problem skin has enlarged pores. What you want to do is avoid getting more of them, treat the ones you have and minimize what's still visible.
You'll need scrupulous skin care, including regular facials, weekly masks and occassional dermabrasion. If you can afford professional care, get it as often as possible. Of course, as with any beauty problem, healthy lifestyle habits help. Exercise will improve circulation and oxygen to your skin, and avoiding junk food and alcohol will keep toxins from building up and escaping through your skin.
Try an easy hand with face makeup. A light, oil free foundation or powder is best. Otherwise, you'll just magnify the problem. Good skin is a lot of work, but it gives the most reward of all your beauty efforts.
Plus you can wake up looking great when you have good skin, and whoever sees you in the morning will appreciate that as much as you will.
