how to minimize the size of your pores

If you’re wondering how to shrink pores, you certainly have also contemplated how these dark marks on your face got there in the first place. When your pores are clogged, they expand in size, which is why you can notice these craters more (hello blackheads!). Your pores get wider and deeper the more often they get clogged and as your skin ages, which is why you may have noticed them more in recent decades.


Help is on the way. When you minimize your pores, your face looks smoother, healthier, and younger. Learn below how to shrink your pores and the steps to take for fresher skin.


YOUR PORES AND COLLAGEN

Sadly, your skin loses collagen and elastin as you age. When your skin loses its firmness, your pores can become more noticeable.


Using a retinoid product can increase your skin’s collagen production, resulting in fewer blackheads, pimples, and tighter pores on your face. That’s because retinoids increase cell turnover and exfoliate your clogged pores. It also reduces the appearance of fine lines, which means they can effectively treat both acne and wrinkles, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD).
