Do you use moisturizer and primer?

You can use a face primer before applying your makeup to fill in the pore and make them less noticeable. I use benefit porefessional. As for the flakey nose(I've had the same problem but whole face was flakey) I use cetaphil facial moisturizer. It's very thick and makes my face good as new! :)
Btw, love your name ;)

Exfoliate more often or you can use a baking soda and water facial mask! (:

Use a good moisturizing cream like CeraVe, as for pores, there are ways to tighten them, like using a clay mask. Using a silicon based primer will help to fill them in, and buffing in your foundation with a flat top kabuki brush will make them totally disappear :)

I do use a moisturizer day and night as well as primer under makeup. my Mac prep and prime works very well but I still peel on my nose at the end of the day. but my skin isn't dry its kinda oily so I don't get it!

I hear you! Recently my nose, my chin and the "T" part of my face have been flaking like crazy! For the flaking I use a moisturizer at night because when your skin is flaky its just really dry. And for large pores I recommend using the Olay Detoxifying Pore Cleanser. It really helps minimize large pores and it also helps exfoliate your skin but don't use it daily maybe 3 or 4 times a week. That's what I use and I hope this helps:-) PS: Can you believe I am only 12 and I have bad skin like that?? LOL but ya that's what I do and I hope this helps:-):-):-)

I have big pores too.. but No matter I tried porefessional or loreal true match also didn't work for me although there is lot of ppl says it works.. so I'm looking for a new way too..

I recommend getting a deeper exfoliation. Such as a Aha peel or even a session of microdermabrasion.
Exfoliation is key so that your products will absorb into the skin.

You can't get rid if pores but you can make them appear a bit smaller. peter Thomas Roth pores no more vacuum cleaner. its a temporary fix for pores but defiantly works. leave on 10 min rinse off cold water to close them. I've had good results from clinique dramatically different moisterizer paired w argan oil for flaking

@Hannah it deff works, learned that trick from Wayne Goss, he has a demo on his YouTube channel too :)
@Jazzlyn Lol. My skin started acting up when I was 12 too, I was an oily mess and had little bumps and redness everywhere 😩
@Lynette Try a fuller coverage foundation, like revlon Colorstay, and try the circular buffing motions with a flat top kabuki, I swear this method works better than anything by far.

The lorac Porefection prime is the best one for large pores it minimizes them and just makes your makeup last for all the day ($32 at sephora)and for flaky nose try a moisturizer by cetaphil its the best :)!!

Hannah, try using bio-oil, I have oily skin, but my nose keeps peeling no matter how much I moisturize. I started using bio-oil last week and I don't see anymore peeling.

I've noticed that since starting to use a night serum, my skin is way more hydrated, not as oily and my pores arent as big. Just something to consider :(
