Ask any woman today what one of the most annoying, more difficult parts of her beauty regime, and I can guarantee that more times than often she will talk about her pores. If that describes you, you're probably looking for ways to minimize pores.
They are something that we all have and something that are so prominently placed on our faces that if we happen to have problems with them, they are there for everybody to see. Large pores really are a challenge for anybody who takes pride in looking after her skin, and it can be really demoralising when you can’t seem to be able to improve them at all. In order to help you out in your skincare mission, here are five of the best ways to minimize pores.

1. Wash Your Face Properly
One of the best ways to minimize pores is to keep your face clean. This is the key tip for ensuring minimized pores. We all know that washing our faces regularly stops pores from being clogged, but are you actually washing your face the right way? You should never use hot water for this task. Instead, use warm water that unclogs pores rather than really opening them up with heat. When drying your face, don’t scrub it with a towel as the friction can make pores look bigger. Gently pat instead for best results.
2. Always Remove Makeup
Sometimes the temptation to go to bed with a face of makeup can be overwhelming, but you really need to commit to removing it every single night if you want to keep your pores as healthy and as small as possible. Even if it looks like it hasn’t caused a problem, I can guarantee that makeup will have accumulated overnight and sunk into the pores, making them look much bigger than if you had removed the products before bed.

3. Never Skip Moisturizing
Your face always needs moisturizing, even when it doesn’t feel particularly dry. Think about how many layers of skin you have. Most of the important stuff is underneath. The dryer your skin is, the more cells and debris there will be to accumulate in your pores and make them appear larger and more obvious on your face. Use a lightweight moisturizer twice a day to achieve the best results for your pores.
4. Non-Comedogenic Products
When buying skincare products, always look for products that are listed as being non-comedogenic. This means that they have a special formula that works against clogging and blocking your pores. You can find non-comedogenic versions of pretty much everything including face wash, moisturizer, concealer and liquid foundation. The more you use, the healthier your pores will be.
5. Salicylic Acid
One product that can be extremely effective in shrinking your pores and minimizing their visibility is salicylic acid, an acid that is commonly used to treat things like acne and skin breakouts. Simply apply the acid to the problem areas and it will work to shrink and tighten the area to make it look as smooth and unblemished as possible. It’s almost like magic!
