Believe it or not, everybody has pores.
Pores do not necessarily just appear. They are already there. They can, however, appear larger and more visible. There are many causes that can lead to pore enlargement. These include aging, genetics and poor skin care habits. The first two factors cannot be controlled, however, the last one can be and it could also make a lot of difference. However, a dermatologist can also provide input and point you to the right skin care routine to help battle large pores.
Beware of the Sun
You have to be careful of the sun and its effects on the skin. Sun damage may cause premature aging and can also darken the skin. Dark skin may make pores appear larger than they normally are and will give the appearance that the skin is sagging. But all is not lost. Skin can still be protected with SPF. Choose the right SPF for your skin type and apply regularly even on dark, cloudy days. The sun may be out but the harmful rays are still in action. A good SPF will prevent sun damage and hyper-pigmentation of the skin. Choose one that is also waterproof and be sure to reapply.
Use That Toner
Toner is there for a reason.
Toners smoothen the skin and also tighten pores. With continued use, a toner will be able to firm up the skin and also brighten the complexion. Not only do some toners provide good benefits to the skin, they are also a way to restore the skin’s natural balance. Toners with witch hazel prevent acne breakouts. Other specially formulated toners help to brighten the skin and contribute antioxidants that penetrate the skin’s surface deeper than just a cleanser. Toners also prepare the skin for faster moisturizer absorption.
Don’t take toners for granted, ask an expert for the right one for your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, you will be recommended a gentle formula.
Exfoliate Regularly
Exfoliating helps to get rid of deep-seated dirt from your skin’s surface. Using a gentle facials scrub will be able to help address the issue. Exfoliating will be able to introduce a new skin layer and make it firmer with each massage.
It’s not so much as whether or not a person has pores. It is knowing what to do about enlarged pores that makes all the difference.

Open pores make the skin condition worst. I exfoliate my skin with natural face scrubs and never touch my skin with dirty hands. My skin is very sensitive and acne prone. I try to keep my skin pores clean always. It helps.
Always use good quality skin toner as these can worsen your skin with open pores. Open pores make skin more sensitive and prone to acne and other skin allergies. Try to use organic products on your skin and keep it covered in sun.
I was the one who loves to squeeze blackheads and pimples of my face. This enlarged my pores. Then one of my friend gave me a tip to minimize these pores. I am share this with you.
Exfoliate your skin using a cleanser and then splash cold water to your face. This will close the pores of face.
Steam therapy that allows the pores to open up and get all the bad material out of the skin is quite popular and effective. A large number of spas and beauty saloons offer the service however care should be taken to take this service under expert guidance. Of course exfoliating needs to be done regularly to get rid of the dead cells that are a hindrance to a beautiful skin.
