Ever wonder how everyone else looks so good? Here are some skin hacks that I refuse to gatekeep. As a board certified dermatologist, you're doing everything right. Washing your face, doing your skincare routine way before you go to bed and yet your face still looks like this. Just maybe you're not changing your face towels quite regularly and you're reintroducing this grime onto your face instead. A different face towel for every night of the week. Don't worry, it's not extra work. Your face will thank you for it. Number two, even though poreless skin doesn't exist. I get it. You guys want that clear look because the last thing you guys want is this. Clogged pores, sebaceous filaments on your nose and no amount of pore strips are going to get you from this to this. They're only going to make things worse. So instead this girl Sulfur cleansers. They're viral on TikTok for a reason. Because sulfur has not only anti inflammatory benefits but it's going to help regulate your sebum production.
