Enlarged Pores

Having enlarged pores on the face is a common concern for many people. These enlarged pores typically occur on the nose, cheeks, and forehead, but can occur anywhere on the face. There are a number of ways to address enlarged pores. The easiest way is to make sure the face is kept clean by washing twice a day. Using products like the Clarisonic will provide an even greater benefit because it goes in the pores and cleans them out well. In addition to washing, maintaining a good skin care regimen will reduce pore sizes. Important components include exfoliants such as glycolic acid and retinoids such as retin-A. Other ways to improve the appearance of enlarged pores is by undergoing procedures such as facials, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, IPL photofacials, and laser resurfacing.
