Treating Enlarged Pores

The problem with pores is that when you don't treat them right they become clogged and enlarged. But there are several ways to clean pores and makeup products to minimize pores. Here are some tips to handle this problem.

1. Exfoliant
In order to help pores do their "job" of allowing oil to flow efficiently, use a grainy exfoliant cleanser, which will polish off the dry, dead skin that's clogging them. Just be careful with grainy products. Use them gently and not too often. If you overdo it with washing, the body produces more oil in an attempt to replace it ‑- so once or twice a day is fine.

2. Facial Treatment
Facials are brilliant for thorough, deep-pore cleansing, not to mention what a treat it can be. A good facial needs to be personalized to meet the precise needs of your skin, so it's essential to have a consultation with a facialist in which you discuss your needs and concerns prior to service. Another great feature of a facial is that you can have blackheads safely extracted.

3. Makeup Tricks

• Skip Foundation: Avoid applying foundation to any areas where pores are enlarged. It might be a brand new idea to you because a lot of people try to use it to cover pores, but foundation just seems to magnify their look - even mattifying foundations seem to call more attention to pores.
• Use Blotting Powder: Apply a neutral blotting powder directly to any areas where pores appear larger. The powder will serve to diffuse the look of the pores so all you'll see is a smooth, more matted surface.
  
• Apply a Pore-Perfecting Cream: Look for gels and tinted creams formulated to smooth the appearance of pores. Just put the product directly on areas that are bothering you. Let it set and lightly apply powder over it.
