Today we’re going to talk about how to get rid of large open pores. As you may or may not know people who have oily skin tend to have larger pores. That mostly happens because oil and dirt collects on your skin. Then, your skin starts swelling and pores tend to look larger than they normally do. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Also, with age skin loses elasticity and that usually causes your pores to look bigger.

Another fun fact! Men generally have larger pores than women do!

So how to get rid of large open pores? I know advertisements for many products state that they can shrink pores. However, that’s not really possible. You can reduce the appearance of large pores temporarily, though. That basically means that you can make your skin look smoother, shinier and seem to have smaller pores but only if you take care of it regularly.
Here are some of the things you could do.

Rub Ice into Your Skin

Ice reduces large pores because it reduces swelling. Cold causes small blood vessels to narrow, therefore less fluid gets from the blood to skin cells. That’s why ice is so powerful. Simply take an ice cube and rub it into your skin. Take your time, try to enjoy the procedure. Your skin will feel refreshed afterwards.

Exfoliate Your Skin

It’s probably a good idea to exfoliate your skin at least once a week. In case you don’t know, exfoliating breaks down dead skin cells so that you can easily wash and brush them off your skin. It’s up to you weather you want to use an exfoliating cleanser or just make a scrub yourself. Anyway, I’ll show you how to make one.

You’ll need 1 spoon of sugar and 1 spoon of honey. We’re using honey instead of oil, because if you have large pores, it’s likely that your skin is oily too. Therefore, it’s probably a good idea to avoid oils. Add 1 spoon of sugar to honey and mix them as well as you can. Now rub the scrub into your skin with circular motions. Be gentle and take your time. Afterwards, wash it off with cold water. Do it once every week to get the results you want. :)

Use Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is quite magical, indeed. It has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties due to its acids. It can cleanse your skin and remove blackheads. Therefore, it reduces swelling and the size of pores. All you have to do is mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with 1 tablespoon of water. Mix them well and use a cotton pad to rub the mixture into your skin. Once again, take your time, do it slowly so that vinegar has enough time to cleanse your skin. Afterwards, wash your face with very cold water and dry it out. Repeat this procedure 3-4 times a week and you’ll notice the difference :).

Anyway, when it comes to getting rid of large open pores, prepare yourself for regular care. Nothing happens in an hour and constant and genuine skincare can truly make a difference.
