Preventive Skin Care

You can’t change your heredity or your age, but you can adopt a proactive skin care routine geared toward reducing the appearance of open pores. Steps include:

  • Keep your skin clean with daily exfoliation. You can use products made for this purpose or go low-tech with a warm washcloth followed by an astringent, such as witch hazel.
  • Keep your skin protected from the sun by wearing sunscreen every day.
  • Opt for noncomedogenic skin care products that don’t clog pores.
  • Always moisturize your skin, even if it’s oily. There are moisturizers designed specifically for this skin type
  • Use collagen-boosting products that contain antioxidants, which may also be beneficial for keeping your skin healthy
