Large Pores – What To Do About Them?

Large pores can be treated by high-tech methods in a doctor's office or at home with over the counter remedies. Which will minimize pores best? Which pore treatment gives the best results?

Before we decide which method of treatment will minimize our pores best we have to understand that the size of our pores are determined by genetics.

Also, the pores seem to grow bigger as we age because the structure of the pore weakens and the skin no longer supports the pore.

This means, that whatever method we choose we cannot shrink the pores permanently.

Home Treatments For Minimizing Pores

• Clogged pores appear larger so cleaning our face twice a day can help unclog the pore.
• Keep pores clean by washing after doing anything that makes you sweaty or dirty.
• Cleansers with exfoliating properties are good for normal to oily skin types.
• Use products that contain salicylic acid or glycolic acid.
• Use a cleanser with exfoliating beads that slough the skin manually.
• Use exfoliating cleansers once a week for normal skin but threes a week for oily skin.
• Try using an electronic face brush the clears makeup and dirt from pores.
• Use pore strips twice a week to get dirt out of pores.
• Use products that contain hyaluronic acid – helps plump up the skin's structure.
• Use a moisturizer that absorbs excess oil and minimizes shine.
• Use topical retinoid solutions.
• Don't steam your face – this dilates blood vessels and will cause the skin to swell.

• Micro-dermabrasion cleans pores and smooths the skin’s surface.
