If you have large pores, you may be disappointed to hear that there is no treatment that will make them smaller. This is your skin type and you can’t change what nature has given you. What you can do is make your skin appear finer and prevent large pores from becoming caked with dirt, make-up and oil. When pores are clogged, they will appear larger. Heavy make-up, especially foundations can cake in pores.

I read an article that advised you to purposely fill your pores with foundation to hide large pores. In my opinion, that will only accentuate them. Here is the best way, in my opinion, to make pores look smaller.

Obviously, keeping your skin clean is the first and most important step. Remove make-up and wash your face with a mild cleanser nightly. A facial scrub will help dislodge debris caught in pores but don’t be too rough, scrubbing harder will only irritate your skin. You can use a scrub two or three times a week. Once a week, follow up your nightly routine with a clay mask. It will tighten the skin and make it appear finer.
