Your pores are tiny, but they can have a big impact on how you feel about your complexion. Is there a way to get perfect pores? Let's find out the truth. Can I shrink my pores? Nope. The size of your pores is determined mostly by your genes, but other factors are at play. Sun exposure, aging, acne, and a common skin problem called seborrhea all make your pores bigger.
While you can't shrink them, you can make pores look smaller. Here's how.
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser twice a day and after sweating to keep pores clear and pimple-free.
Exfoliate using a product with salicylic acid or alpha hydroxy acid, AHA, to slough away pore-clogging dead cells.
Your dermatologist can also do procedures, such as laser treatment or a type of light therapy on large stubborn pores.
There's the answer to your biggest pore problem.
