FACE PORE MINIMIZER
Enlarged pores are a problem for most people. Sometimes it happens out of nowhere and it lets you wondering how it ended up like that and what could be done to reverse it.
Pores can’t go away, they are essential to your skin’s health by allowing oil and sweat to reach the skin’s surface. However, without inflicting any harm on them, they can become smaller so that they’re less visible, and that’s what we are going to explore with this guide.
HOW TO GET RID OF PORES
As stated before, pores can’t disappear, but there are many ways to reduce them and make them look smaller.
Daily cleansing is a must. No matter your skin type, you should wash your face at least once a day. Blocked pores are the main reason for them to end up looking enlarged, but this can be avoided by keeping your face clean.
Once the cleansing is done, you can reinforce it with an exfoliator a few times a week, depending on your skin type. Exfoliating helps unclog blocked pores, eliminating dead skin and toxins.

WHAT CAUSES OPEN PORES?
Pore size can be affected by many things, and some of them are under your control. Being dilated, infected or clogged with oil are some of the things that make pores look larger and more prominent.
Having an oily skin or excessive oil production is one of the reasons why your pores may be enlarged. If your skin produces too much sebum, it combines with dirt of dead skin cells and ends up clogging the pores.
This huge production of sebum also leads to acne, which is another cause of big pores. By controlling your sebum production you can avoid these threats. If you want to know how to control this condition and lead to smaller pores, read our article on oily skin here.
Another reason could be sun exposure. By being under the UV light for a prolonged period of time, your skin’s collagen is damaged, reducing its elasticity.
The other two main causes for enlarged pores are genetics and age. If your skin is naturally thick and oily, maybe genes are responsible for your pores. As people get older, also, the skin naturally loses elasticity and pores dilate. As skin thickens, tiny cells collect at the edge of the pores, making them look bigger.
