Large facial pores can be an unsightly as well as frustrating problem to fix. According to DermaDoctor, pores can become visible and seem larger due to inadequate skin care and issues such as blackheads, which can expand your pores. Genetic factors, environmental damage and aging also contribute to pore size. Luckily, you don’t have to suffer for the rest of your life with large pores.
Exfoliate your skin twice a week. Dead skin cells, dirt and debris can clog your pores and cause breakouts. According to Janice Cox in her book, “Natural Beauty at Home,” you can use a moist cotton washcloth to gently exfoliate your face. Don’t scrub your face too roughly or exfoliate blemished or broken out skin or you may cause irritation.
