Pores !

Do anyone know how to close pores on your face ?

Pores !

I feel like washing my face with cold water has a minimizing effect, and it's free

Re: Pores !

You can’t really close or shrink them. But you can make them appear smaller by keeping them clear of gunk. Some blurring primers can also help pores look smaller. 

 

An exfoliant will remove dead skin cells from your pores. Without knowing your skin type and sensitivity/tolerance, I’ll just tell you what I use on my mostly-dry combo skin. 🙂 I alternate between FIRST AID BEAUTY - FAB Skin Lab Resurfacing Liquid 10% AHA  and Paula’s Choice CLEAR Regular Strength Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution 3-4 nights a week. Both are leave-on exfoliants. You can also try a product specifically marketed as an exfoliating AHA or BHA toner. On nights I exfoliate, the FAB and PC leave-ons are my toner step. If you’ve never used an AHA product before, a very gentle intro product is FIRST AID BEAUTY - Facial Radiance Pads.

 

There are many “blurring” primers out there. My big pores are on my oily zone (my nose area). On some days, I use LANCôME - Blur & Go Stick on that area, more for oil control than pore blurring. It’s completely invisible on me, which is important because I don’t wear foundation. I’m sure others can recommend more primers.

Toner will be best skincare wise, primer for makeup
