I reduce the size of my pores by being sure to splash my face with ice cold water after I wash my face. This significantly closes up open pores.

The actual size of the pores is made up by genetics, but there are ways to make them appear smaller. Try washing your face with hot water to start and end with cool or cold water. Hot open up pores and releases dirt, cold closes them back up.

There are some prescription medications that claim to reducec pore size. Tacrolimus, which is used systemically in organ transplants as an antirejection drug is occasionally used in topical formulations to reduce the size of pores with varying results. This requires a prescription and it is likely that only a dermatologist would feel comfortable with this.

One way to reduce the size of your pores is to put your face in a bowl of ice water for as long as you can. Just the same as hot water opens your pores, cold water shrinks your pores.

They best way to keep your pores at their smallest and cleanest is to wash your face daily. Use a gentle cleaner w/o alcohol. Wash with warm water to open the pores and thoroughly clean them, then rinse with colder water to close the pores and keep them clean.

To begin reducing the look of pores, it is best to use steam to open them up. Apply a damp, hot washcloth to your pores and press down for 30 seconds to open pores. Then use a medicated facial cleanser or scrub to remove dirt, oil, and makeup from pores.
