Sebaceous filaments are tricky because technically, there’s nothing wrong with your skin for having them. It’s not technically a problem. It just looks bad aesthetically. Everyone has them. It’s just for most people, they aren’t visible. You are just one of the unlucky souls. Since they are not a problem, you will need to build up a routine to make them invisible.

First of all, there’s a myth that hot water open up your pores and cold water closes them. Nah ah. Not true. Throw that garbage myth out.

And NEVER use pore strips

You can make them appear less visible by two ways

With Chemicals

• use Stridex BHA pads. Put it over your nose for like 20-30 minutes.
• don’t wash it. Follow up with a clay mask. Like Innisfree volcanic clay mask.
• then, wash it out. This can be repeated a few times in a week.
• apply pure vitamin C. I recommend Obagi. It’s expansive but it’s really good.

Physically cleaning them

• use CNP laboratory Anti-Pore Blackhead Clear Kit. Use the step 1. Leave it on as instructed.
• use Xpreen pore vacuum cleaner (that comes with a blue light)
• then, put the step 2 of the kit
• then, use the blue light treatment

Stay moisturized! If possible, use a face mask nightly as your last skincare step. KEANA NADESHIKO rice mask is the best for pores.

Ok, boomer

The trick is lots of sunblock during the day and lots of retinol during the night 💅🏻

Oh, forgot to mention. You know how Asian tourists wear big hats and carry umbrellas around? We were told from a young age to protect our skin from sun damage. My first sunscreen was ahem ahem Shiseido, of course! I began wearing it daily when I was around 14. I switched to Skin Aqua.

Studies say sun damage can age you so much faster. I don’t recall the exact number but it’s super night like 65% or something. That’s why I never got why white people are obsessed with tanning. Sunscreen is also something you need to reapply every hour or so if you’re constantly out in the sun. Like I’ve seen 22 years old mayos with crowfeet. And some don’t want to use any sun protection because it leaves white cast. Just RIP! Asian sunscreens come in so many forms. Physical. Chemical. Spray, stick, liquid, cream, you name it.

It’s also proven that oil production helps prevent aging process. We moisturize like crazy. During the day, I keep spraying my face with PH level 5.5 to maintain the optimal water level on my face 🥰 I have no lines on my face 💅🏻

I also have been using retinol for like 2 years now. It’s also scientifically proven to help with skin turnover rate.

White people don’t know how to take care of their skin and also how to season their food.

Umm it’s Korean food that is spicier. Have you ever tired fried spicy Korean chicken wings? 🥵

Don’t you dare insult kimchi!! 😡
