Help for Large Pores

Your first instinct is probably to keep washing the area or even
to use an alcohol type product to try to dry them up – Wrong!
This is the worst thing you can do because you will be putting
your body into defense mode which means it will create more
oil (just like in the section about oily skin). The more oil you
produce the more it gets into your pores making them look
larger than they really are even if you don’t have oily skin.
Another reason our pores become enlarged is because of all
the chemicals and pollutants our skin is exposed to. We don’t
realize how damaging the products which we buy to eliminate
the problems. And the chemicals in them make the problem
worse.
We are also living in a more toxic environment today than even
10 years ago. All those things collect on our face and clog our
pores.

So, what’s a girl to do?
First and foremost, do not wash your face more than twice a
day. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Over-exfoliating will also cause your skin to become more oily and make your pores appear larger so exfoliate in moderation.
Once a week give yourself a treat and put a hot towel on your
face (wet a towel and put it in the microwave for 30-60
seconds).
