Supposedly, the only thing that will actually reduce the size of your pores is a microdermabrasion. Think of your pores as Vs. What the microdermabrasion does is it shaves off a layer of your skin to reveal new, scar-less and spot-less skin. The Vs then become vs , so they appear smaller. It's an expensive process that you have done at a salon.

Exfoliating could help a bit as well, but won't be as drastic because you aren't removing a lot of skin.

I would try a scrub, you can make one yourself or buy one. I use the clinique 7 day scrub, but you can just get one from shoppers too.

Clinique actually has a pore minimizer and it works amazing. I got a free sample in a gift with purchase and used it all up and loved it, lol.

Oh and for clogged pores, try the biologe pore strips, they work really well too.

I had a question here before..but I solved it....so I'll suggest some of my own tips.

Everyone has said it...exfoliate! It opens your pores up and removes dead skin for brighter, clearer skin!

Moisturize! Dry skin looks bad.

Don't coat your face in makeup every day..it sometimes clogs pores. Give it a break sometimes!

Use toner to even out your skin tone.

Remove makeup before bed.

For parts of your body other than your face, use lotion to keep them moisturized. I put cream on every night before bed and by the morning my skin is soft. Don't overuse soaps and hot water dries out your skin. Scented things may irritate your skin also.

if you have alot of pores then i would recommend a scrub like the other girls are saying.
pores are just filled with oil, theyre not extra big or extra small.
theyre the same size at all times, its just the amount of dirt
that gets clogged in them that makes them appear bigger.
if you clean your face with a cleanser thats meant for oily skin,
you should be fine.
but if you have combination skin, i would reccomend using a toner
and moisturizer after it.
for the toner, if you have sensitive skin, try the Neutrogena Alcohol-Free toner (its a blue bottle)
it doesnt burn and it smells really lovely.
if you dont have sensitive skin, then any other toner if fine, i would say
it just depends on the brand you like to use.

^^ Yeah, I've heard lots of good things about St. Ives Apricot Scrub, BellaSugar also recommends the Clean & Clear Blackhead Scrub (I don't know if that's exactly what it's called, but something like that)
