pores

[nannon]

The pores on my nose and around my nose seem to be getting bigger... they arent spots but my skin doesn't look at good as usual. There are one or two that constantky need to be aquezzed though. Any suggestion on (cheapish) ways to fix this? I have very sensitive skin thanks xxx

Although not cheap, Clinique do a 'pore minimizing' range that I find really works. And it's perfect for sensitive skin too, which I have. Probably best you avoid squeezing them though as this will only inflame them and make them look worse.

Pore strips are fab (made by firms like Biore - you can get them on eBay and in Boots). You wet your nose, stick on the paper strip, wait 15 minutes then gently pull off. You can actually see the yucky gunky plugs pulled out of your pores (ew!) and your pores look holey at first. But within a couple of days your pores have a chance to start to shrink back to normal size. I've had blackhead removals at the salon and find these strips just as good without the price tag or redness. I usually follow the treatment with Clinque clarifying lotion, which really degunks my skin.
