I'm a quick sprint away from turning 50 and my pores have all of a sudden become HUGE.  Seriously, they are like craters. Especially on my nose. Gah. So, wise RefuPeas, please share what you've found that helps shrink those things. TIA! L |

I went to the Clarisonic website and they have so many different devices. Which one do you recommend?

Clarisonic, GlamGlow's Tinglexfoliate mask, and POREfessional primer by Benefit. Thanks for the reply, Gennifer! I have a Clarisonic and have been using it for close to 2 years. I also have the Benefit primer but only wear makeup once or twice a week. I suppose I could just use the primer by itself. Hmmm. The GlamGow stuff - I do have a sample of a GG mask that I got in an Ipsy bag, but I don't know if it's that one. Haven't tried it yet. I read that a scrub made with brown sugar, water and apple cider vinegar is good for cleaning out pores - anyone ever tried a scrub like that? L ETA: Just went and found the GG sample I have and it is the Tinglexfoliate. I'll be damned. It never happens that I have ALL the items suggested, lol. |

I do nothing, but thanks for asking. I rarely look at myself in a mirror for any length of time, but noticed how obvious my craters were last night. They're horrifying!  |

Thanks for the Clarisonic advice. i am going to get one for my Dad. He knows his pores are big and he worries about his appearance so I think he would like this thing.

I went to the Clarisonic website and they have so many different devices. Which one do you recommend? I've had a Mia for just about a year, and got one for my DD too. I didn't see the need for multiple speeds or for beeps to remind me when to move to a different part of my face. I love my little purple wonder, and when I forget to use it for a day, I definitely feel the difference! I have tried the pore-minimizing brush head but honestly couldn't see a difference in results. |

BHA exfoliant does wonders. Paula's Choice has some good ones, and I'm sure other lines carry versions as well. Combine use with full spectrum sunscreen. Caution: you don't want to irritate your skin, which will only damage it more. Some ingredients in teenage acne products that claim to shrink pores will do this, and cause flare-ups rather than help you. |

I got the Tinglexfoliate the last time Ipsy had it in their bags, and went out immediately and bought it. I just use it on the spots where I feel like my pores are most visible... On both sides of my nose, across the nose, and on my chin. I can visually tell a difference when I remove the mask, and it stays for 3-4 days. I also spend a bit of extra time with my Clarisonic in those areas. I only wear makeup once a week or so (I work from home, so most days it's just my favorite CC cream and mascara) so the POREfessional isn't used as often in my world, either. |

I've been using it for 18 months and it's made a huge difference. I also use her Shine Stopper and a good primer. Right now I'm using Napolean Perdis primer which I love. |
