Pores
July 1, 2010 at 8:26 pm Derm RF 5 comments
When it comes to aging, we tend to focus on usual suspects such as lines and wrinkles. We ignore our pores until one day, seemingly out of nowhere, there they are … big, gaping holes occupying prime real estate on our faces. In fact, the most common complaint of Dr. Rodan’s and Dr. Fields’ 30-something and older patients is, “I hate my pores.” The cause? A weakening of the support structure that keeps pores tight and less visible in young skin (as seen below).
As we age, the skin structure slackens due to loss of collagen and elastin and as a result, pores “flop” open appearing larger and more noticeable. While you can never change the physical size of your pores, you can minimize their appearance with the right skincare. This month at Derm RF, we’re focusing on pores—the best ways to visibly reduce them by using the right ingredients and practicing the best lifestyle habits today so your pores stay clear and tight as you age. Stay tuned for all this and more. As always, we love to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Your Derm RF Team

I use Rodan + Fields Dermatologists UNBLEMISH Sulfur Wash (step 1 in our amazing acne regimen) as a pore-reducing mask once a week. Love it!

What works on pores? In their book “Write Your Skin A Prescription For Change”, the doctors write that “exfoliating cleansers with salicylic acid work to unclog pores and retinoids and peptides help increse collagen production to keep pores smaller.” This book is a phenomenal resource to answer any questions about your skin. Ask your R+F consultant about it!

R+F Microdermabrasion Paste is wonderful for this! Exfoliation is the key to new cell turnover because without it, the dead cells pack in the pores which also makes the pores larger.
Exfoliate!
