How to Shrink Pores

Some faces have that flawless, radiant glow about them. Achieving this complexion could be as easy as unclogging your pores to release the dirt and debris. Although it isn't possible to permanently shrink pores, reducing their appearance is a realistic goal. Taking the right steps to clean and maintain your pores will make your skin feel healthy and look vibrant.

Instructions

1. Cleanse and rinse. Natural oils can build up beneath pores and cause bacteria to grow. Wash your face thoroughly but not aggressively. Use a mild cleanser that is meant for your skin type--dry, normal, oily or combination skin. Make sure to rinse skin completely to eliminate soapy residue.

2. Use a toner on your skin to diminish blemishes. Delicate rose water toners smell beautiful as well as do the job.

3. Exfoliate the dead skin cells. A gentle scrub with a grainy texture will remove dead skin which could clog pores. Exfoliating also allows other products to penetrate your skin more effectively.

4. Mask it. Apply a mask to your face to draw out dirt from deep within the pores. Don't rub harshly or the skin could become damaged and develop further skin complications. Try mixing almond meal with water to make a natural mask and let it sit for approximately 20 minutes before rinsing.

5. Draw in pore size. Have a professional facial and/or extraction to minimize overall pore appearance. Eliminating blackheads can tighten pores and give the visible appearance of shrinking.

6. Use additional products like antioxidant creams to reduce the effects of over exposure to sun and pollutants. You'll feel rejuvenated too.

7. Maintain your skins restoration with a regular cleansing and moisturizing regime. Healthy skin makes you look radiant and feel great.
