• Enlarged pores are a concern for women of all ages and skin types, 
especially for those with oily and combination skin. If you don’t take care of 
your skin properly these pores will grow larger and will be easily clogged 
which usually leads to blackheads, pimples, discolorations, excessive 
sebum production. If you don’t treat the large pores at early stage the 
pores can look worse than they actually are.
Enlarged pores usually appear on the T-zone – forehead, chin and 
especially around the nose and are a big concern during puberty. The large 
pores are basically little openings of the hair follicle onto the surface of the 
skin that provide a way for the oil glands underneath to lubricate and 
protect the surface of your skin”.
Pores play a vital role in skin physiology and are a natural part of the skin 
and without them the skin won’t be able “to breathe”. Their secretion 
ensures essential skin moisture and oiliness and all the nutrients are 
supplied through them.

• Exfoliation
• Use a mild exfoliator to remove the dead skin cells twice a week, 
but make sure it’s appropriate for your skin type.
• Reduce the excess oiliness
• As we said large pores can be caused by excess oil (sebum) 
production and that’s why it’s essential to control the sebum 
production. Look for products containing Nordihydraguaiaretic Acid 
as it reduces the sebum production.
• Use pore minimizing lotions and creams
• Using a pore minimizing (refining) products should be an essential 
part of your skin care regimen to keep your facial pores under 
control. These products target the production of sebum deep in the 
pores, clear away debris and reduce the size of the large pores. 
Look for moisturizers containing natural ingredients, vitamins, 
retinol to increase the collagen production.
• Tightening face mask
• Dousea pore refining mask once or twice a week to keep your 
pores clean and under control. These masks deeply cleanse 
pores and draw out the impurities while refining the skin’s 
texture.
• Steam your face
• Steam your face once a week to thoroughly deep clean your 
large pores, to loosen debris and to open the pores. The high 
temperature helps the pores to open and through this way 
the skin will clear itself from the toxins. Apply a deep cleaning 
face mask after steaming your face.
• Beauty treatment with machines will be beneficial
• Aesthetic Treatment Such as Micro needling, Radio frequency, 
ND: Yag can also be added in the treatment line.
