What to do for oily skin and larger pores?
I truly wish there was a “home run” for large pores, but there are things that help.
- Good products – here’s the link and also here. This blog post applies to all oily skin.
- IPL and Thermage treatments do tend to make oily skin dryer for some months, but it’s not permanent;
- If you have acne, discuss spironolactone with your dermatologist – it can have a drying effect on excess oil production. More info here. Scroll down to the bottom
- Fraxel treatments also seem to shrink pores size some but there’s debate about whether that’s permanent.
