You cannot permanently close pores at home
Pores are a natural part of skin and do not open or close like doors
Keep skin clean with a gentle cleanser twice daily
Use salicylic acid products to help keep pores clear
Use retinoids at night to reduce clogged pores over time
Apply niacinamide to help improve the appearance of enlarged pores
Exfoliate gently with chemical exfoliants, not harsh scrubs
Use non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep skin balanced
Apply sunscreen daily to prevent pore enlargement from sun damage
Avoid picking, squeezing, or over-cleansing the skin
Use clay masks occasionally to absorb excess oil
Stay hydrated and maintain a consistent skincare routine
See a dermatologist for persistent enlarged pores or acne
