Ashley Nichole Aesthetics - SkinnCravings

There are many misconceptions about what pores are, what they do and how we can shrink them. Pores are a natural part of the skin structure. You need pores! They play a big roll in skin by releasing sweat and oil, they help regulate body temperature, also help remove toxins; just to name a few.

Pores are most visible on those with oily skin and acne. Becoming more prominent during ovulation (yay ladies 🙃). Also AGING.. the skin loses elasticity and collagen breaks down making the skin sag (the pores sage also)

The biggest myth about pores is that can change their size. You can't...
While the actual pore size itself can't be changed, there are many methods to REDUCE the appearance of size.
* retinoid creams
* chemical peels ( peel season is right around the corner!!)
* lasers
* Botulinum toxins (botox, dysport etc )

Simple method is to start with topical creams! Schedule a consult and we can talk more about skincare!

- Cleansing is crucial! A lot of ppl don't cleanse their skin in the morning. Not cleansing your face in the morning is like not brushing your teeth - EWWW! As you sleep, your pillow case is dirty, you shed skin cells, you sweat and drool! So yes! A morning cleanse is IMPORTANT! At night, think of "taking the day off". All the pollution, sweat, sunscreen, makeup etc.

- Resist the temptation to pick or pop pimples, as this can lead to further inflammation, scarring, and longer healing times. Try icing your skin instead.

- Exfoliate regularly: Exfoliating 1-3 times a week (every client is different) can help unclog pores and reduce acne. Use a gentle exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs).

- Use non-comedogenic products: Look for products labeled "non-comedogenic" or "oil-free" as they are less likely to clog pores.

I do virtual and in person consults for personalized advice and treatment options.

Remember, acne is a common and treatable condition. With patience, persistence, and the right skin care routine, you can help manage acne and achieve healthier, clearer skin!

Let's face it, skincare and facials are targeted more towards women and it shouldn't be. We all have skin. Why treat it differently?

Men's skin is thicker and oilier, making it prone to clogged pores and blackheads, while things like shaving and exposure to environmental stressors lead to premature aging and irritation, congestion.
Facials provide a deep cleanse, nourishment, and protection, counteracting these effects and addressing issues like ingrown hairs, razor burn, and hyperpigmentation.

Education is KEY 🔑

Sunscreen is a must for ALL skin types. Oily, acne, sensitive, melanin. It's 2024. There is a sunscreen just for YOU!

Exfoliating should be done 1-3xs week. It is easy to over exfoliate the skin which causes more problems to the skin. Physical and chemical exfoliating are great options! If you have active acne stay away from physical exfoliants.

Moisturizer will help to heal and keep that skin plump. Think of a grape vs a raisin. A grape is hydrated and plum, while a raisin is dry and dehydrated.

Not sure what products are best for YOU, schedule a consult or a basic facial and we can get you the correct products for you!
