Blackheads or Enlarged Pores?

I am LOVING the Yonka products and really happy with my choices from you. I have been doing the clay mask at least once a week and sometimes twice and keeping really good care with washing, toning and moisturizing every morning and evening. Overall, my skin is doing really well, but I still feel like my pores are visible and I don’t know if they would be considered blackheads or just enlarged pores and I’m wondering if there is any other product you would recommend to work with this, or if this is just the way my skin is?
Once pores are enlarged, they remain enlarged. The good thing is by keeping your skin clean (and super clean through using the clay), your pores are less likely to become congested, which can and usually does lead to enlarged pores. Because pores don’t shrink (a myth for sure!), you may just be looking at slight enlargement vs. blackheads in the pores. If you look really closely, you should be able to discern dirt and debris (blackhead junk) and just simple (and slight, no doubt) enlargement.
I seriously doubt you have very much enlargement - it really is rare, although many people think they have “big pores.” Based on your wonderful program (you are an “A+” client!), it is also doubtful you have much debris in your pores.
Next time I see you I will talk with you about what I see. In the meantime, I truly think your skin is doing well and that any enlargement you do see is minor with my professional eyes.
