 As the saying goes…”Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”…and people suffering with large pores may have problems with self-esteem issues if they are worried about the condition of their skin.
Pores are small openings on the skin’s surface that serve an important function on every human being as they enable glands to secrete fluids. Perspiration and oil are secreted through the pores to protect and hydrate the skins surface.
The size of a person’s pores can vary for a variety of different reasons. Textural “crater-like” pores can be very upsetting regardless of gender. Men tend to have a higher rate of large pores than women do because their skin produces more oil than a woman’s does. People with dry skin types typically have finer pores and people with oily and combination skin have large pores.
As we age, the lack of elastin and collagen decreases and will cause pores to widen. UVA and UVB rays are extremely damaging to the surface of your skin. Sun damage will cause the top layer of your skin to thicken and some pores may appear to look larger because of the rings that will collect around the individual pores. When blemishes such as blackheads and whitehead form on the skin, they will enlarge the pores and give the illusion of very open pores.
If you are concerned about large pores, you should try the ZO Skin Health Acne Prevention and Care Program that is available at Skin Gift. Using this amazing system will allow you to target excess oil, exfoliate dead skin cells and sebum, boost collagen production, reduce inflammation, and tighten pores for a softer and smoother looking skin.

 There’s a saying that your eyes are “the gateway to your soul”. No matter the color, the shape, or your age, your eyes attract constant attention. Our eyes are the first things that are noticed by people because they express our feelings and emotions.
Over time, the skin around our eyes tends to show the signs of aging. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark circles, puffiness, or sagginess under the eyes typically begins to appear in our early thirties. Skin care experts agree that these signs of aging can be attributed to your sun exposure, smoking, medications, genetics, and other environmental factors.
The great news is that you can help turn back the clock and fight the signs of aging by using Dr. Obagi’s ZO Skin Health Aggressive Anti-Aging Treatment. The five step regiment includes the Offects Hydrated Cleanser, Offects Exfoliated Polish, Ossential Radical Night Repair Plus, Ommerse Multi-Active Day Moisture, and the Oclipse Sunscreen + Primer.

 As teen girls begin their trek into womanhood, their bodies will undergo a multitude of changes. Teen girls are faced with hormonal changes which often affect the condition of their skin. Teen boys can also expect a variety of changes to their body and many hormonal surges.
Because of the rise and fall of hormones, teens often experience acne breakouts. For some teens, acne comes in small and sporadic amounts while others will experience massive outbreaks that can result is self-afflicted or peer based isolation. Many over the counter acne products can be very harsh on the teen’s skin. Upon use, some teens report unbearable burning, itching, and stinging sensations which often result in a rejection of the offending products.
Out of frustration, or a lack of awareness, some teens may choose to ignore their acne problems. When ignored, acne outbreaks often develop into painful cysts and can result in permanent scarring on the face.
Obagi has many products available to help combat acne in teens. The ZO Skin Health Offects TE-Pads Acne Pore Treatment make treating acne lesions a breeze.

 Acne is a skin condition that plagues many teenagers and even adults in their 30’s and 40’s. Skin care experts say that acne causes unsightly blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed red growths (papules, pustules, and cysts) to form. These growths are typically called “pimples” or “zits.”
Acne is caused when the pores on your skin become clogged by oil, dirt, debris, and bacteria. Once the pores become blocked, whiteheads or blackheads form. When inflammation is deep within the skin, painful cysts may form. If the clogged pore breaks open under the skin, the bacteria will cause red bumps and swelling to form.
No matter what age you are, acne treatment can be frustrating when you endure repeated unsuccessful attempts of eliminating acne with store bought brands, only to have acne return. Acne suffers everywhere can benefit from the many useful acne products that are available from Dr. Obagi. The Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. products take the frustration out of acne treatment.

Now that your skin is looking fantastic, you can bring things to another level by using products that complement the Obagi Nu-Derm System. Elastiderm Eye Cream or Gel is a unique product that actually stimulates elastin production around the eyes.
Elastin is what gives skin its tautness and “snapback”. Skin will tighten and fine lines and puffiness will disappear!
Elastiderm Décolletage System is designed to repair the often neglected chest and neck area. This two part system lightens age spots and sun damage while removing those annoying little lines we start to get as we age.
The Decolletage System is easy and quick to use. Just two pumps of each product in the morning and at night will revitalize and renew your skin.
To keep aging at bay, a C serum is essential. Obagi’s Professional C Serums contain stabilized Vitamin C which is a powerful antioxidant.
Antioxidants kill free radicals that cause aging of the skin. Vitamin C also brings down redness, inflammation, and is excellent for rosacea patients. Collagen production is stimulated resulting in plumper, firmer skin. Skin appears brighter and more even toned.
