The larger the pores, the larger the issue and the more annoying it becomes. Can anything be done about it?
The condition of your pores is controlled in part by your DNA and your age. No one can change these for you. This represents at the most 20% of the pore size problem.
The rest is due to the way you live and how you look after your skin. You can find both people and products to help you but the choices are yours. You are free to attack your face with too much scrubbing, chemical burns, or simply too much of the wrong kind of make-up.
Everybody seems to be looking for some one or some thing to get rid of the problem for them. They really don’t want to have to work at it themselves.
But they are your pores and you are responsible for their condition. You can do something to improve pore appearance if your are willing to take a few easy steps, recommended by cell biologists — the people who study pores and how they work.
The researchers advise against any harsh treatment. Their work has shown conclusively that popular solutions like microdermabrasion (basically scraping off a layer of cells) or scrubbing with gritty pads and grains are far too harsh and lead to future problems.
Those large pores may be annoying now … Do you really want to make them worse?
