Create a pore cleanser. Mix in a bowl 2 parts of table salt and 1 part buttermilk or milk. Stir with a spoon to make a paste. Apply the paste to clogged pores with the fingers. Massage the paste gently into the skin for one to three minutes. The milk or buttermilk has lactic acid that exfoliates the skin by removing debris and dead skin. The tiny granules of salt enter the pores to clean them out.

Visit a dermatologist. Think about medical procedures to treat the large pores, if it is within your budget. Ask the doctor to discuss your various options.

The new skin is smoother in texture and pores look smaller.
