Is there a product you recommend for enlarged pores, and can you put too many different products on your face, as there’s so many different lotions and potions I wondered if your skin can stop absorbing products?
I’m going to split that into three – a) salicylic acid e.g. Alpha H Clear Skin Tonic is great for enlarged pores, as it will penetrate the pores and help clear them out from the inside. B) Yes, you can use too many products , which is a waste of money and risks stripping/ irritating/ clogging your skin, depending on what you’re throwing at it and in what order. C) Your skin can only absorb so much product. It’s not that it goes on strike and stops absorbing skincare, but if you keep piling stuff on top of other stuff, how is the stuff on top going to get through the rest of it and into the skin? Choose a few key products and use them thoughtfully. Use the runniest one first – e.g. in the morning, a vitamin C serum, then seal that in with a lightweight moisturiser, then add sunscreen over the top (you don’t want sunscreen to be absorbed; you want it to sit on top of the skin as a shield).
