I’ve always said trying to change your pore size is like trying to change your finger print: Posted @withrepost • @sugarhouseskinbar [ 𝙿𝙾𝚁𝙴𝚂 ] ⠀ ⠀ 🤔How many times have you heard people claim "this will reduce your pore size" or "steam opens your pores"? Too many to count! Your pore size is genetic and cannot be reduced. Your pores are not doors and cannot be opened or closed⠀ ⠀ 🤔If you have large pores, you most likely have oily skin and can thank your parents. Pores are microscopic openings into your skin. They don't have hinges to open or close. Steam will soften oil on the skin to make extractions easier but it will not "open" anything. If your skin produces a lot of oil, the oil is sitting right at the top of your pores and is making them look bigger than they are. Your skin gets oily throughout the day and people tend to notice the size of their pores during the day and at night. Try using salicylic acid and retinol to normalize your oil production so your pores will look "smaller" with less oil sitting on top. #skincaretips #skincare #skincareinformation #themoreyouknow #informyourself #skincareresearch #esthetician #estheticianlife #masteresthetician #beautyobsessed #beautyblogs #healthyskin #pores #poresize https://www.instagram.com/p/B3icNXHnHa7/?igshid=1vk8b1365jt30
