What About Pores?
Posted on: September 11, 2012
The universal complaint for the over-thiry crowd is “I hate my pores.”
As we get older our pores appear larger, and that is just a fact of life. Here’s why. Pores are surrounded by collagen fibers. With age, as collagen production slows and collagen breakdown accelerates, pores lose support, flatten out and widen.
another factor that impacts the size and appearance of pores is the pile-up of dead skin cells.
What works? Poly hydroxy acids gently desquamate the cell pile-up in the pores. As you age, retinoids and peptides help increase collagen production, which keeps pores looking smaller. Additionally, salicylic acid peels and micro-dermabrasian help.
