Can You Shrink Your Pores?

September 2, 2015

*PR sample.  All opinions are my own and are not influenced by anyone else. #poredermabrasion #iFabboMember

Do you have large visible pores?  I know that I’ve recently started to really notice the pores on my face.  They may have been there forever and I just chose to ignore them (denial is sometimes a good thing).  Or they are suddenly expanding in size and I’ve started to become a little bit more paranoid about them.  I use the brightest 10x magnifying makeup mirror in town.  This mirror shows EVERYTHING, which can be both good and bad.  Good for plucking hairs that show up in the oddest places.  And bad for making my wrinkles and pores appear as large as the Empire State Building.

I recently received the Dr. Brandt Poredermabrasion for review.  This product is a pore perfecting exfoliator.  The company calls this product “a unique professional grade physical and chemical exfoliator and pore perfector in one.”  It’s designed for all ages and skin types.  It’s supposed to shrink pores and smooth the texture of your skin.  The 2 ounce size retails for $58 and can be purchased at Sephora and other places that sell the Dr Brandt brand.

I’ve been using Poredermabrasion for several weeks.  It’s designed to be used only 1-2x per week.  The product is like liquid sandpaper suspended in a gel (these are my words and my opinion, not the actual product description).  The product had a menthol type fragrance to me.  You apply the product to damp skin, gently massage it in and then let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off.  After the product is removed you gently pat the skin dry.  Therefore the product is very simple to use and can easily be incorporated into your existing skincare routine.

Verdict:  I think this product has been working nicely at refining the look of my skin.  I can’t say that my pores look smaller, per se, however I think they are definitely cleaner than before use of this product.  The product can be very abrasive to the skin if not used with caution.  I like to gently rub the product in a circular motion to cleanse my skin carefully avoiding the eye area.  I felt that my skin was congested and had an increase in blackheads in the few weeks before incorporating this product into my skincare routine (due to a makeup product that I’d been trying out).  I recommend this product for exfoliating the skin for an improved overall appearance.  Let me know if you’ve tried it.

Go check out the Dr. Brandt Poredermabrasion for yourself.

    I have tried this product. I agree with you that skin feels cleaner after using it but it didn’t reduce the size of my pores.

      Wouldn’t it be nice if there was truly a product that could shrink poses so we no longer had to be bothered by them?! Thanks for stopping by! Stacie xo

    A good exfoliant is always a good thing to have in any skincare répertoire. It sounds like it kind of acts as a salt scrub? I may have to try this out!

      Yes, I agree and this one is interesting because it has chemical exfoliants in it too which are very important as well. Salt scrubs have the salt actually dissolve in the water, where as this one does not dissolve. Go play with some at Sephora. Thanks for stopping by! Stacie xo

One dress that can pretty much be worn year round… yes, please! Just change the shoes and accessories and create a whole new look. #ad 

In the meantime, I’m loving this versatile style from @coldwatercreek that can be worn to brunch or lunch, to the office, or even for a night out on the town this Fall season.

It’s a soft knit that couldn’t be more comfortable. It looks great styled with a belt too.

Be sure to visit coldwatercreek.com for all of their new Fall styles or comment SHOP for links.

Currently enjoying the same views, but from under an umbrella. No complaints from me!

Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of mine is the vertical lip lines in and above my lips. 

When @rebekahstarkey_np told me about this type of treatment, I was intrigued (but nervous). I did my research and decided it was time to just go for it. 

The numbing cream and Rebekah’s skill and attention to detail made a huge difference. I didn’t feel a thing and I’m so excited to see the difference in a few short weeks.

Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid treatment that is used for hydration, texture and radiance.

Yes, I did have some swelling and bruising, but things are already looking better.

Skin Pharm started in Nashville and now has locations in Texas, Georgia, Florida, the Carolina’s and opening soon in IL. Check to see if they have one near you for all of your cosmetic dermatology needs to help you feel more confident too!💖

Since I’m trying to use more clean sustainable products both in my home and on my body, I wanted to share an online marketplace for 1000’s of carefully curated and vetted essentials including cleaning products that are free of harsh chemicals, clean beauty products, expert curated vitamins and SO MUCH MORE!

My first box arrived at my home last week and I was so happy to see everything that I ordered including some clean beauty products to take on this vacation.

In fact, I’m over here ordering a few more things to change out nearly all of my home cleaning supplies to healthier options (great prices too).

Enjoy your day! I’m relaxing under an umbrella on the beach in Cabo today.🏖️

This soft + comfy green knit tank dress from Coldwater Creek comes with a matching long sleeve sweater for endless styling options. #ad

Wear it during the day as a tank style and switch it up for the night with the cropped sweater when the temperature cools off.

It’s flattering, fun, and available in multiple colors—perfect for every body. 

I love wearing it with the tall black boots and adding a few finishing touches.
