Pores 101

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
