@@the_lily_rose It's so true. When I look at myself with my glasses on, standing a normal distance from the mirror, it's much more flattering than the glasses-off, close-up view I get when popping pimples (the horror!!!) or putting on mascara!😂
I have mega pores from when I was maybe 11 or 12 and first hit puberty. I didn’t know to squeeze blackheads on my nose, so they just got bigger and bigger, and I would scratch but not squeeze. So a simple blackhead from literal childhood has left a permanent, noticeable stretched pore on my nose. I think skincare and acne treatment should be taught in school. People carry their scars on their face around with them for the rest of their lives.
I have a tiny permanent stretched pore above my upper lip, right in the center of my philtrum. I remember the very day I got it (from picking my acne) when I was 12, and now that I'm 47, gravity has stretched it ever so slightly and now it's a little oval! I hate it so much and I love to spackle it over with pore-blurring products. Thank goodness, it's my one and only lifelong acne scar, despite my uncontrollable pimple-popping for years as a teen.
Thanks for tips. Do you know any product that gets rid of blackheads on nose? I dont have acne any more but l have tired everything and l cant get rid of them. Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you.
@@annarose4828 Salicylic acid sometimes, but also using an oil cleanser. Buildup congests the pores and stretches them out. In science, "like dissolves like". So, an oil cleanser will pull the oily sebum and pore congestion out. Massage for several minutes to mix the natural oils of your face/nose with the oil cleanser. Rise and follow with your normal cleanser to get all the oils off, and moisturize. This was a game changer for me, and my skin has never felt so clean and clear!
Thank you for making this video. I was being insecure and cried today because i felt so ugly. When i look at my face, all the pores and forehead texture i hate 😭
YESSS, all my life I've been putting so much energy on hating what I call my "strawberry nose" but after starting to take better care of my skin (thanks to people like you) I noticed that if I just look at myself in the mirror without getting close my sebaceous filaments are not that big or noticeable.
I used tell my mom she looked like she had an orange peeling on her skin. Now as I am older my son tells me I have strawberry skin. I really don't mind anymore, he made me laugh.😅
This is what I always say. And it’s sad, that kids are forced to think, that having visible pores is not normal. I’m 36, and when I was a teen, we didn’t have such pressure. We were free. So, guys, eff all these “beauty” creators that mess with kid’s self esteem and spreading fear of normal physiology! Respect to dr. Dray!! 🎉❤
Lmao 🤣 I landed here after looking at my face in the magnifying mirror yesterday afternoon, that too outside 😢 i was horrified by my pores. Then I went ahead and examined my parents' faces to see who did this to me 😂
THIS! It's normal to have pores. Some people are stressed out over the most normal, most humane thing. Standing too close to the mirror is another reason why you'll never get rid of your insecurities. My mom had this problem, but i kept telling her that she looks fine. I mean, she still looks 28 in her mid 40's. Why does she have to be bothered by her prominent pores?
the glass skin trends were finally starting to get to me and make me insecure about my pores, but this video single-handedly made me feel so much better about it! just knowing that my skin is healthy and having visible pores is a good thing/not nearly as noticeable as what i worry about is so validating coming from a dermatologist
I was scolded for having pores, 1 year in college I used to have clear skin and then due to change in climate or food my skin started breaking out so bad. After that the pores on nose remained and my mom or relatives would stare at it and mom even scolded me. Made me feel like I did something wrong and I cried in front of her after that she never said much things. Telling you Asian beauty standards are something else
Thanks, I really needed that…I’ve been seeing photos of me lately and feeling really down cause everyone else looks so much better than me when it comes to their face skin texture
She is the best .. I see pores when i workout and i felt it's okay ..it's just sweat glands ... The cosmetic and derma industry is minting money with our fears ..
My family genetically on my dad’s side has HUGE pores. Including me. From my nose to my cheeks. The rest is manageable. But the cheeks next to my nose make me soooo self conscious so i used to cover it with products which make my breakouts way worse. I found sometimes rosewater toner or witch hazel helps. Nowadays my skin is insanely oily so i have to eitger use a tiny dab of tea tree oil, or i use charcoal cleanser and get squeaky clean. It can be drying but yay no disgusting stuff in my pores😂
1) slightly off topic, but omg, listen to doctor dray!!! my skin produced sebum today, hallelujahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! after years of insanely dehydrated skin that is always bone dry by evening, today I have a teensy bit of oil, which ofc is a good thing (i m posing in the mirror like i m a supermodel over my dewy forehead hahaha)!!! following DrD's advice has saved me so much money & has actually improved my skin (and shrunk my pores) 2) best advice ever! btw, I finally got my skin blackhead-free after decades of really battling them, including squeezing & picking & permanently scarring or pigmenting myself, without ever asking myself if blackheads affect my appearance. turns out, nope, they dont. and I don't feel gorgeous when I lean in close to the mirror, I just find other stuff, like wrinkles, to obsess at. I've been stepping back & even doing things essentially blind (I have terrible vision w/o glasses). there's really no reason to get closer than other people will - and anyone you are going to kiss or hug should think you are gorgeous no matter what.
Finally some facts man, my skin looks great from normal mirror distance but I just end up insecure again when I go like one inch away from the mirror lol. Thank you.
A good reminder. Another one from an article was to stop looking at those magnifying mirrors (unless you really need to tweeze something or something like that).
I felt so much better about myself when I got rid of this old dresser in my room that had such a big mirror. I had to look at myself in this big mirror everytime I had to take something from the drawer. Place your mirror where you're less likely to pass by, it'll make you much kinder to yourself.
"I was skeptical at first, but after using this Ayurvedic product, my scars started fading, and my pores look so much smaller! Highly recommend for anyone struggling with similar issues."
Thats so true i just realized this like 6 months ago lmao i hated it but when i look at others when im close to them they also looked like mines lmao and honestly after that i just didnt care since noone actually cared
Dr. Dray is a friggin character I LOVE it.
I swear, she's the realest and most delightful youtuber out there!
This is the best skin advice on the Internet!🤩

Dr. Dray is the best thing to happen to TH-cam.
Especially the skincare side of TH-cam!
“trust me, you look good. you’re just holding the mirror too close” atta girl! 🤣🤣🤣
Straight quality advice, no bs, love it
I love how Dr. Dray never capitalizes on our insecurities. She does the opposite. Mad respect.❤
Yes! Also if you wear glasses or contacts remove them and look in the mirror all the lines etc. are gone!
My go to trick wash to cover them in glitter! ❤

😭 That's why I stand so close to the mirror in the first place.

I was really insecure becausw of that assymetrical face and stuff but im the only one who sees it, nobody else does lol
Finally someone spoke the truth. Was done with this GLASS SKIN trend.
She’s so kind ❤
She's right! 10X magnifying mirror is even worse. Trust me.

Best skin tiktok I've seen so far
YES THANK YOU!!!! Any brand who is trying to sell you “pore shrinking” anything IS LYING
Love this!❤

I needed to hear this thank you. 🙏
As someone with body dysmorphia, thank you for saying that
The best advice ever I have heard of. Ppl just being too harsh on themselves most of the time
This actually made me feel better. Thanks.
Dr.Dray, you're the best!!!
The part of the words give me courage ❤
Thank you sis
Oh, thats made my day 😊
Bless this baby ❤️
Niacimade with zinc by the ordinary. Worked for me
Your skin type and skin issues?
She is the best .. I see pores when i workout and i felt it's okay ..it's just sweat glands ... The cosmetic and derma industry is minting money with our fears ..
Omg thanks so much! I’m relatively comfortable in my own skin, but as of late my pores have been my nemesis so I really needed to hear this! 🤣
Nothing like a doc with a great sense of humor.
This short and funny video actually completly changed my mindset on the way i look. Thank You dr Dray!
Also, don't look at yourself in a 10X mirror after applying a dewy foundation. It's terrifying.
😂😂
So true 😂❤😂
