I’m no expert- but I am a former beautician and photographic model and I do know that the skin-cell turnover process takes many weeks to complete (not just ‘one’!) so you probably still have some way to go before all the benefits of your lifestyle change become visible. Also, I suspect that much of what you see now is accumulated ‘debris’. I suggest that you treat yourself to some good quality beauty products to remove all this and to nourish the skin. Better still why not have a professional treatment for once, and then just adopt a skin care regime at home afterwards to maintain the results? I’m sure you’ll soon be looking and feeling like a new woman.
I am a 30 years female and used to smoke and drink beer a lot with poor fast food diet and lack of sleep . I also worried a lot and worked hard. I had an oily skin but smooth and youthful looking. I have stopped all these bad habits a week ago but my skin remains with large pores, dry, dead wood looking and poor elasticity. Should I continue with good habits only or use some beauty products to get my skin back to its youthful look? I use antiseptic soap, firming night cream and aqueous cream and vitamin E cream with foundation during the day. Please help me with some natural treatment for open pores on face.
