How you wish for your pores to disappear! All of us plagued with enlarged ones do! Since they can’t and they wont, just make them appear smaller.

1. CLEANSE. This is the quickest solution to minimizing your pores. I always carry a travel-sized face cleanser in my make up kit and whip it out on days when the weather makes me feel gross. Oil and build up make our pores expand. Help it shrink by simply washing your face. Exfoliating two to three times a week should also be part of your cleansing routine especially if you have oily to combination skin.

2. WEAR SUNSCREEN. A daily SPF of no less than 30 keeps your skin supple and this keeps pores looking smaller. For outdoor activities, use a minimum of at least SPF 50 and wear a large-brimmed hat to keep the sun’s harmful rays at bay. Don’t forget that sun-damaged skin magnifies pore size!

3. USE A CLAY MASK on areas like the t-zone most especially. Oily skinned parts of the face are also larger pored skin areas. Use only a clay mask on areas which are oilier. Leave the drier parts alone.

4. LAY OFF FRIED FOOD or any food that’s high in oils or will make your skin more oily.

5. CHOOSE INGREDIENTS IN SKINCARE AND MAKE UP WISELY. Salicylic acid, zinc and magnesium are products that unclog, heal and balance oily skin and problem skin.

6. NEVER SLEEP WITH MAKE UP ON. Leaving make up on for prolonged periods of time not only ages the skin 7 times faster but also expands pores over time.
