Smooth, glowing and flawless – the three adjectives women would most want associated with their complexion.
Yet thanks to pesky enlarged pores, the pursuit of a perfect complexion can be tricky.
And while there is actually little you can do to truly ‘shrink’ pores, you can certainly minimise the look and feel of them.
Enlarged pores are usually a result of overactive sebaceous glands, which are producing too much oil.
The more oil your skin produces, the more pores become enlarged. Usually they’re most visible around the nose area and the forehead because these areas produce the most oil.
And while a lot of this is down to genetics, it’s definitely worth steering clear of oily cosmetics, which will only make things worse.
