How to Shrink Pore Size

Pores and blackheads are a result of excess oil production. As the sebaceous glands produce oil, the skins pores expand to accommodate it. Tiny hairs called vellus hairs aka "peach fuzz" are associated with little hair follicles. These tiny hairs exit the skin thru the follicle opening which we cal the "follicular ostia or "pore". The oil glands are the sebaceous glands produce oil and sebum which collect in the follicular opening and can expand the pore size as it sits there. If it is not removed, it causes decreased elasticity and stretches the pore which makes the pores look larger.
When debris including dead skin cells, oil, sebum, keratin and make up collect in the pore 3 things can happen: 1. It can be removed and the pores will close and shrink down giving a porcelain skin look. 2. it will remain there and the top part of the debris or "junk" in the follicle exposed to the surface will oxidize and turn black, which is what we call a blackhead or "open comedone" 3. the debris becomes trapped and forms pus and inflammation harboring p.acnes bacteria and a whitehead forms or what dermatologists call a "closed comedone". There are many ways to clean the pores and reduce pore size and blackheads. Watch this video to find out how.

Such great info! I love that you teach about ingredients that work and specifically what is happening in the skin vs. just sharing a particular brand that says "it decreases pore size". So many people read only the hyped marketing claims on the front of labels vs knowing what's even inside that product. I used to be a medical instructor in the military so I love to teach. But I'm a sponge and a total ingredients nerd and absolutely LOVE learning. You have the best info and your teaching style is perfect and so easy to learn from! Thanks so much for taking your precious time to teach us! 💜💜💜

Question: do you recommend using both a physical and chemical exfoliater everyday? Just wanted to verify. New subscriber here 😀 thanks for sharing all your knowledge very helpful!

[@britnysnyder4991]

Yes that's what it sounds like she says But I thought you were only supposed to exfoliate like twice a week So now I'm confused

[@bihmrunner]

Britny Snyder I’ve always heard a couple of times a week also but always felt like my skin was better when exfoliating everyday would I am so glad to hear her say this! Know your own skin and what is best for you! I have very large pores, VERY oily skin (all over, not just t-zone during summer months) and acne prone skin. No, those that don’t have oily/acne prone skin with large pores probably won’t benefit from exfoliating everyday but that’s not me/my skin! I’ve even had estheticians tell me that I shouldn’t be exfoliating everyday. So glad to hear her say that you should if you have large pores/oily skin. Thank you Stefani!!

[@juliecoleman9902]

Love your videos! I keep hearing beauty gurus, aestheticians etc... talking about “ruining your acid mantle” on your face. Usually pertaining to using too much/too many products with acids in them, skin polishers, etc... I trust your opinion more than them for obvious reasons and wonder if you’ve heard them terminology and if its really a thing or something they are saying to support the more “natural’ skincare movements

[@DrStefaniKappel]

Unfortunately most non-physicians are usually trying to sell something and have a business mind with a hidden agenda. As a doctor, I stick to my primary oath to help others and dedicate my life to skin health. Therefore, I may disagree (more often than not) with these bloggers but spend 10 years of post graduate school learning about the skin on a level that very few have. This is why I love to share this information and not try to sell you anything or recommend a certain line over another. I share all the products I use but every product and active ingredient that I recommend comes from data, research and science. Looking at changes in the skin under the microscope and on my patients themselves. That is what makes the knowledge that I share different. Think of my channel as a safe place and as the truth. The education I share about skin health is backed by science without a hidden agenda. Just a sharing of knowledge to those interested. IfI can make a difference in others lives, make them fell better about the way they look or make their skin healthier, then as a doctor that makes me very fulfilled. Hope this makes sense?

Does taking Accutane once a month prevent from getting the side effects? Because I took it for 4 months for my acne and it did clear up my skin but the side effects are brutal. I've been off of it for 4 years now and my joints still feel stiff from time to time. While I was taking it, even going up the stairs would be difficult because it caused so much joint pain. I'm still grateful that I took it because it was the only thing that actually helped my acne, but taking it once a week or month I would be worried about experiencing any of those side effects again.
