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

Patience is a virtue… I patiently waited (and s Patience is a virtue…

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

My jewelry is Melinda Maria and you can use code StacieH for 10% off your order.✨

My purse is Spartina 449. Isn’t it divine?!💗

Just say SHOP and I will send you all the outfit details, but you must be following me to receive the message (it’s an IG rule).‼️ 

P.S. I’m 5’1” and mostly wear petites, but this outfit is regular misses sizes. The pants are cropped length on most.💖

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖

Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been more adventurous in my younger years. Despite visiting many distant lands, I often did so reluctantly. However, my mindset has shifted over the past 10 years, and I now yearn to explore more of our world.

We’re currently in Jackson Hole, with upcoming trips planned for Summer and Fall, including another trip to Europe.

River cruising in Europe has been my favorite travel so far. We’ve taken 3 different river cruises and you can see some of those moments in my saved highlights.💖

Are there any cities or countries on your travel bucket list?✈️
