30-day skincare plan for large pores
Print it or save it: four weeks, one change at a time, built for large pores.
Week 1: baseline
Scan nose, inner cheeks and the centre of the forehead. Cut the routine to salicylic or niacinamide, moisturizer and SPF. Add a 2% BHA two nights a week and finish with a light moisturizer.
Week 2: first active
Introduce niacinamide on two nights. Keep notes on how skin feels, not just how it looks.
Week 3: steady state
Hold the routine. If skin is comfortable, add one night of niacinamide; if not, stay at two. Avoid pore strips daily.
Week 4: review
Compare week-one and week-four scans of nose, inner cheeks and the centre of the forehead. Decide: keep, adjust or swap in salicylic acid.
