Enlarged pores
On the nose and cheeks, every pore shows, especially under harsh light.
What it is
The more oil you make and the less firm your skin, the bigger pores look. We refine the grain so they show less. We don’t close them, that’s not a real thing.
- A matter of oil and genetics
- More visible as skin loosens
- We work the grain over a few sessions
