How to reduce the appearance of your PORES~ ✨

I thought I was the only weird one massaging my oily skin with oil because its an odd concept in skincare community lol but its nice to know someone else has been doing the same. I've been doing that "deep" cleansing massaging (for 10-15mins) with grapeseed or safflower oil, literally oil, in my PM routine for years now. Its a similar concept of double cleanser except this doesnt lather so I rinse off with warm water followed by a regular cleanser that can remove that oil without stripping my face. I used to do it with coconut oil years ago but grapeseed/safflower oils are better since they are lightweight. For me this is a non irritating way to exfoliate my skin in a way because I can feel my bumpy/congested skin feeling smooth afterwards. Sorry tl;dr. Just wanted to share my experience One thing I LOVE about your video is that you show your natural imperfect skin upclose without makeup and then transform into GORGEOUS perfect glowy skin with a bit of makeup. Yes, REAL NORMAL people do have pores and don’t have perfect skin. I really don’t like influencer that only show themselves in good lighting so their skin looks good. You inspired me to accept my imperfect skin, but can still look good with a bit of care and makeup. I started using the Isntree mask this year and the herbal smell is sooo nice 😍😍 chemical exfoliants can be a bit much for me - too many options, so I just bought this neutrogena acne serum that has an aha, bha and pha all in one so I don’t have to fuss around. Super simple and it’s been ok so far 😊 IMO the best way to reduce your pore size is to get a good night's sleep :) I notice a massive difference in how large my pores look/how oily my skin is when I am tired vs well rested. Sleep is one of the best things you an do for your skin and health in general! Hey! Loved this video :) just wanted to say, the swatches are really good and make an easy understanding of the textures, but it bothers me a little to see so much product dripping/ getting wasted.. I think one pump of oil would be enough, and it would still show :) still thanks for the wonderful video
