Shrink Your Pores The Natural Way

Shrinking the appearance of pores is a very common skin concern that can be very difficult to shake. Many people in the skin care industry believe that it is impossible to shrink the pore while others believe you can. The truth is, pore size is genetically determined, so it isn’t really possible to change their size. However, you can change their appearance. If you think you could afford to have pores that are less noticeable, follow these simple steps:

Thoroughly Cleanse the Face

The purpose of cleansing is to remove excess dirt, oil, makeup, and debris you’ve come in contact with throughout the day. These items fester in your pores and if they are not remove they will continue to build causing the pores to appear larger. Acne, blackheads, and whiteheads are just a few ways the pores can be effected if cleansing isn’t performed.

Exfoliate the Skin

Exfoliating is the act of removing dead skin cells. Dead skin can begin to pile up and make pores appear deeper than they actually are. When the skin is exfoliated it mimics the same results as sanding a wall, any texture is flattened allowing the pores to appear closer to the skin’s surface.

Use a Little Vitamin A

Retinol, also known as vitamin A, is used to clear the pore. It works by clearing extra cells on the surface of the skin, it sort of cleanses and exfoliates at the same time!
