5 Ways To Reduce Enlarged Pores
Jess Just Wants To Know: I have had large pores for as long as I remember. What products really work to shrink facial pores?
The Right Brain’s Reply:
Unfortunately, none. At first glance, you may think that pore control products offer to make your pores smaller, but if you read the label carefully you’ll see that in most cases they just claim to reduce the appearance of large pores. That may sound like a subtle distinction but it’s really not. There’s not much you can do to physically make your pores smaller but you can avoid making them look larger. Instead of looking for “shrinking” products, try avoiding these 5 factors that can make pores look plump:
1. Skin debris…
…like dead skin cells can collect in pores making them appear bigger. Good facial cleansing is key to staying debris-free.
2. Excessive oiliness…
…can keep pores filled with a layer of oil that accentuates their appearance. Consider using oil-absorbing makeup or more frequent cleansing or blotting.
3. Bacterial growth…
…contribute to blackheads and make pores appear freakishly huge. Exfolliation can help.
4. Sun exposure…
…can thicken the skin cells around the edge of pores making them appear larger. Using a sunscreen or limiting your sun exposure is a good idea.
5. Genetics…
…determines your skin type and if you`re unlucky enough to be born with oily, thicker skin your pores will probably be more noticeable. Changing your parents could help this but is probably not a very practical solution.

Ugh! Is that picture really a massive close up of a pore? When I first saw it, I thought that it looked like an open pipe or something heh.

It’s either that or a close-up of an asteroid. That right brain is a hoot.

I just totally love this website….but there is something that bothers me-by any way or the other, I can’t seem to be able to get those very dark circles out or at least cover them so they won’t be noticed below my eyes. What do you recommend?

For a long time result I’d recommend a chemical peels from time to time. It’s really works. There are a lot of before-after photos
