To bring back that youthful radiance, you need to smooth the skin

The skin looks dull and lifeless when it lacks radiance, and the secret to radiant skin is the amount of light that bounces off the surface. That youthful appearance depends on a number of factors, one of them being the ability to reflect light. When light bounces off your skin, fine lines are softened and minor flaws become less visible. As a result, your skin glows youthfully.
Light bounces better off a smooth surface, so skin with lines, large pores and dark spots doesn’t look very radiant. If you want to improve the radiance, you first need to address what makes it dull.
One of the biggest skin concerns among women above 30 involves enlarged pores, which make the skin uneven. As our skin gets older, it loses its firmness, and pores that were once tight become loose. Genetics plays an important role in determining pore size, along with environmental and lifestyle factors such as smoking, UV damage, oiliness, diet and too much makeup.
The best way to shrink pores is to stimulate collagen production so the skin becomes tighter and firmer, which in turn makes the pores appear smaller. One popular solution is Thermage, which can improve the texture and tone of your skin and smooth out those large pores.
Thermage uses radio-frequency energy to stimulate new collagen growth for immediate results that continue to improve for six to seven months. It is clinically proven to help smooth and improve skin for an overall younger appearance. The skin becomes firmer and the pores appear smaller, giving you that radiant look.
Thermage has been in use for many years, and recently a new “tip” has been introduced to offer more effectiveness and comfort. The Total Tip is able to deliver as much as twice the bulk-heating volume without discomfort. The non-invasive skin-tightening technology can help the deterioration of collagen and elastin, which cause many concerns, from enlarged pores to fine lines.
Apart from Thermage, there are other options such as microdermabrasion and fractional lasers. It’s best to consult your dermatologist to find the best solution for your skin.
Another idea to achieve that youthful appearance is to wear minimal makeup. While heavy foundation can cover up pores and flaws, it can also clog your pores and make them appear larger, which only makes the skin look older. Find the right treatment for your skin and you won’t need to rely on makeup.
