but they still won't go back to before :x

there are certain skin products that you can use to make the pores appear smaller. you can't actually change their size though.

Neutrogena Pore Refining Cleanser and Toner help "shrink" your pores. Avon True Pore-fection Skin Refining Cleanser and Toner would also be beneficial.

Talking about Neutrogena, Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask is a really good one from this brand.

Use a mask that will help close pores. Think the one mentioned above might work. I've never used it though.

exfoliate, it could be that you got some stuff in your pores that makes them stretch out more and appear larger.

Thank you so much for the tips <333

Is it true that once they've enlarged, you can't close them anymore?
I'm using toner but it seems like there's no difference >.<
Do face masks work?

well you can help them appear smaller and perhaps shrink abit. its probably going to take a while for the toner to really take effect on your pores becuz right now its probably eliminating the stuff inside. face masks help draw out bacteria and clear out your pores so it should assist you in trying to make them appear smaller.

do you have oily skin??? becuz that could be making your pores look larger also. when i was in middle school and freshman highschool, my skin was crazy oily and my pores were like HELLOO WORLD! but now its gotten better

No..dont exfoliate unless you have a toner on standby.Scrubbing your skin actually make pores bigger because basically it is "scrubbing".

The perfect solution (but you have to do it everyday)

Take egg white and apply it on your face evenly with a tissue.Egg white have properties to shrink your pores and tighten them.After it dries,peel of the egg mask. Wash with water,you dont only see the results...you feel your pores squeezing shut and it tickles and itch a little during the whole process

close them up by "freezing" them. biggrin.gif

that's what girls do..
like, before we exfoliate, we "steam" our faces by leaning over a hot bowl of water. that opens the pores..
and then we wash our faces
afterwards, we close our pores by standing like in the freezer. or a bowl of SUPER cold water + ice

i hope this helps

Laser treatment? I know there's laser treatments that help make pores look smaller...but I'm sure that's not what you're looking for. sweatingbullets.gif

I've got an appointment with a dermatologist on friday since this weather has taken it's toll on my skin. I have enlarged pores too so I'm gonna ask her about that too.
