Ten Products To Help Minimize Pores

While many believe that shrinking pores is as easy as snapping your fingers and can be done by just splashing cold water or applying an egg mask – we all know it isn’t so. Open pores are a big menace and can ruin our outward appearance, making our makeup look cakey and rendering us similar to the surface of the moon!

While many dermatologists believe that our pore size is genetically determined and it isn’t exactly possible to shrink the size of your pores, there are quite a few products in the market that can reduce their large appearance and give you a smother skin to work with.

Here is a list of tried and tested products that have been known to work well on reducing the appearance of pores!
