How to fix enlarged pores

1. Steam your face to solve the problem of large pores: Some people suggest that steaming your face can solve the problem of large pores. As long as you steam your face with hot water every night to open the pores, a lot of dirt will be discharged. However, it should be noted that after steaming your face, you must wash your face with clean water immediately. If you do not wash your face, the dirt will still remain on your face and even return to the pores before the pores shrink, so steaming your face will not be effective.

2. Use facial masks to solve enlarged pores: Facial masks are undoubtedly a powerful tool for women in modern society to maintain beautiful skin. So how can you make skin pores smaller by using a facial mask? Skin care experts recommend: using a purely natural green mask. Such as seaweed mask. Or you can adjust some masks yourself. Such as honey milk mask. Don’t use facial masks too often, once every three days is best. Of course, don't let the interval be too long.

3. Exfoliate regularly to solve the problem of enlarged pores: a thick stratum corneum is not conducive to the absorption of nutrients in cosmetics. So you should exfoliate yourself every now and then. Then apply a pore-tightening lotion to your skin. Remember it must be lotion, not cream, water or the like. Because among all cosmetics, only lotion can penetrate into the basal layer of the skin and completely change the skin condition. Water and cream cannot achieve this effect.
