3. Do you feel that you will be more attractive if you have pores that are not
immensely visible? The truth is, you cannot shrink your pores permanently. But
the good news is, there are ways to make them less noticeable. Much of this,
you can do on your own. Here’s how:
4. 1. Non-comedogenic skincare products and make-up: The word “non-
comedogenic” means that it won’t clog your pores. When pores are clogged,
they expand, and it makes your pores more visible. To avoid clogging of
pores, look for skincare products or make-up that are non-comedogenic and
oil-free. If you do not see those terms on the products you use every day, get
rid of them.
5. 2. Cleanse your face twice a day: Clogged pores or an oily complexion can
make your pores appear larger. Washing your face with a gentle cleanser can
unclog or prevent clogged pores and reduce the oiliness of your skin. When
cleansing your face, you would want to use warm water because hot water
can irritate your skin. Also, dermatologists recommend that you clean your
face gently and avoid scrubbing as it can irritate your skin, later on, causing
inflammation. When skin is inflamed, pores are more noticeable.
6. 3. Retinol for oily skin: If you have oily skin, mild acne, or if your skin appears
less firm than it was, pores can look larger. Using a product with retinol or
retinyl palmitate before going to bed may help. It is best to use this 30
minutes after washing your face to prevent irritation for people with other skin
types.
7. 4. Acne Treatment: Acne clogs your pores and makes your pores more visible.
According to a study by the American Academy of Dermatology, salicylic acid
can unclog pores. So, using a cleanser with salicylic acid may help. There
are facial cleansers that are safe for everyday use, even if with salicylic acid.
If it irritates your skin, dermatologists advise that you use a mild, non-
comedogenic cleanser in the morning and a salicylic cleanser before bed.
8. 5. Use Sunscreen: When your skin has been damaged by the sun, it will
appear less firm. When the skin loses its firmness, pores look more
noticeable. Doctors recommend that you apply sunscreen with SPF30,
broad-spectrum, and water-resistant to avoid sun-damaged skin.
