I was wondering if some of you mom's out there may have solution for me.
I was looking for something to help reduce the size of my pores and
also tighten my skin a bit.
I can't wear Mary Kay, just in case a rep is reading this.
I want it to be something that you personally have used and LOVE.

Thanks,

I'm not a rep, but I LOVE my Mary Kay products and they have helped my skin a ton in just the area you're talking about. However, since that does not work for you, I have also used Arbonne in the past and thought their product was also fantastic; they have several products that tighten skin and reduce pore size. I really liked the product, I just went back to MK because it was more affordable and I liked it just as much. I'd give Arbonne a try.

L.,
Have you ever tried Arbonne? There is a Pore Minimizing Mask that is AMAZING! It is in the NutriminC Re9 line. I am a rep and that is not the only reason I am responding. I have the same problem with large pores and when I first used this mask I couldn't believe the results. Let me know if you are interested in trying it out. You can contact me at ____@____.com
I hope this helps:)

I agree with Jennifer from the previous post, you should try Olay Regenerist. The one I use is the microsculpting cream. When I first tried it my face looked better, fresher and more sculpted. I would have never tried it if a friend hadn't told me that research has shown that it is better than the several hundred dollar ones. It is around $30 I will go back and buy again.

Hi L.! I am coming up on my 28th year and decided to start taking care of my face early. I read nearly every product label on the shelves one day and decided to go with oil of olay moisturizer-the one that says that it has seven anti-aging ingredients. One of them says that it has a pore reducer which i loved because the pores on my face were way to big i used it and the next morning i couldn't believe it! My pores were perfect and my face looked so wonderful! I really suggest that you use this product, you won't be sorry!

I was playing at Sephora and there was a product called Pore No More...

I tried it on half of my nose and I could see a difference still in the morning. I've been meaning to go back and get some.

FYI it was in the expensive section at the back, but I don't remember the price.

I'm sorry to hear that Mary Kay doesn't work for you (don't worry, not a rep just a long-time user). It's the best thing I've ever used for my skin. BUT . . . when we first moved I couldn't find a rep so I tried Merle Norman on the advice of my grandmother. She has used it for years and looks at least 10 years younger than she is (and used to look 15 years or more younger but her health has begun to catch up to her). There are Merle Norman stores everywhere and they'll give you a free personalized facial if you call for an appointment - no strings attached. I liked the product really well and used it for about a year, but it is more expensive than MK which is why I reverted back. Good luck with whatever you try!

L.,
I hope you find a good product that you feel confident in! With that being said, pores can not actually be reduced. They can appear smaller with make up and lighting. Now, if your pores are full of dirt, oil, and bacteria they can be swollen. Therefore, if you want them to look smaller, keep them from swelling by cleaning and exfoliating religiously! Also use a good moisturizer made for your skin type. Since I can't see your face to reccomend a product, the smartest thing you can do is go to a GOOD spa and have a facial. Let an expert guide you. You don't have to buy their products and you can tell them that right up front, but they will give you good advice, guidance and education on the best ingredients to look for in skin products. The Crescent Court Spa in downtown is where I go and they have never pressured me into buying things with "false" promises of moviestar good looks!

Have you tried a at home microdermabrasion system?
That really helps.
I prefer the mary kay one because it gives a 2nd step that actually calms and neutralizes skin. People who don't wear anything else mk can use it, because it is aluminum oxide crytals like they use at dermatoligist/plastic surgeon office.

I am in love with Mychelle Skin Care. It is a natural skin care line that does not have all the icky chemical additives that so many companies use. It is sold at Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Central Market. You can read it about online at their website as well. The best part is you can purchase a sampler pack to try out the line before you commit. I have never been happier with my skin, especially because there are not harmful additives in it. and my skin looks great. You can customize the line to find the products that work for your skin. The products are very effective and you don't have to use alot to get results. Good luck!

Hi L., I have been using Queen Helen Mint Julip face mask since high school. It's cheap and easy to get, less than $5 at CVS. So if you don't like it-no big loss. It tightens pores for sure.

Bare Escentuals. I use the mineral foundation during the day and at night I use Rare Minerals treatment. They're all natural and great for reducing pore size. You can get them at Sephora (free shipping over $75 for online orders), bareesentuals.com or Ulta. There is also a Bare Escentual shop at Northpark and they'll show you how to use all the products. They also make an AWESOME blemish treatment that will dry up a pimple overnight!

Hello L.,

I have a botanically based skin care, health and wellness company.

We have an awesome line of products that are botanically based, ph correct, dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic, never tested on animals, have no animal products or by-products in them, and contain no mineral oil.

I have used these products since I started my business a little over a year ago. I absolutely love them. If for whatever reason my business ended I would continue to use the products.

I'd love to get together with you and give you a facial so you can see how the products feel and also show you some before and after pictures. I guarantee you'll feel a difference from the first use.

Please feel free to call me at ###-###-####.

Take care and God bless!

The anti-aging line from Arbonne works great, both in reducing the size of pores and helping reduce wrinkles. It is botanically based and contains no mineral oil, animal products or by products and the harmful chemicals that many products have. I use it, love it and also sell it. If you are interested in trying a free sample just contact me at ____@____.com really is a wonderful product.

I love and use Arbonne's Virtual Illusion Makeup Primer for just that reason - it tones, smooths and minimizes the visual appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores. I also use and love their anti-ageing skin care line because I have very sensitive skin and alot of other products just didn't work for me. If you contact me, I would be more than happy to send you a free sample and show you how to save 35% or more on all their products by shopping wholesale.

Hope this helps!

I use Beauticontrol, I am a consultant because I like the discount for me and my girls and I sell it to friends, it's not full-time job.

If you want to try more of the products and you're local, I could come to your place or vice versa and you can try everything I have. I think you would be interested in the basic skin care and the microdermabrasion. That really helped me overall.

If you're interested send me a PM and I'll send you some samples for free of the basic skin care. It won't hurt my feelings if the product isn't for you.

Hi L.! I use and love Nicole Miller makeup. You can only get it through ordering by a catalog. It is made by a Wellness company and she uses natural ingredients. I have really sensitive skin and have had to be extremely careful in what I use. But when I tried Nicole Miller, I didn't have one break-out. In fact, I love this line and all the ones the company has that I have actually started working for them from home. If you want to know more or ask me any other questiosn you can email me at ____@____.com luck :)

Can't help with the size of the pores, but I love to use the exfoliating gloves/washcloths sold in the make up area to keep my skin feeling soft and clean.

My Dad is 85 and had started to develop a yellowish crusty looking appearance on his forehead (the doctor said it was dead skin - can build up on older people over time). I gave him one of those gloves and the yellow crud is gone and he looks a lot younger now.

I have oily skin and used to get pimples quite easily and often even as an adult. Since I'm over 50, I also had started to develop wrinkles between my eyebrows and on my forehead. Since I've started using the rough scrubby gloves and cloths, I don't get pimples and my skin looks a lot younger and the wrinkles have nearly disappeared.

Oops - you asked about pores...:)
