Wearing less makeup and pores look HUGE!

So I am not working at the moment due to health issues and I've stopped wearing makeup everyday. I wash my face in the morning with Dove soap (and a washcloth) followed by eye cream and Lancôme Absolut. At nighttime I normally wash with Cetaphil followed by a Lancôme eye cream and nighttime moisturizer. I'm noticing that though my face is clean and moisturized, that my pores look so large! I have a clarisonic that I use, should I use it more? Help! I want these puppies shrunk! I have sensitive skin and am extremely fair... Just for reference. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you! 😘

With regular soap? regular soap can be too harsh for your skin. try a Clearisil. it breaks you out the next day but then it calms down on day two and it really helped me.

Use a pore blurring primer before foundation like the benifit porefessional or maybelline baby skin pore eraser (something like that). also rinse with cold water when washing your face to close the pores.

You can't permanently shrink them but you can temporarily tighten them & blur them. Using a toner after cleansing & using a facial mask a couple times a week will help keep your pores clean. And using a light moisterizer or firming serum or moisterizer instead of just a rich one. Or at least just save the rich one for nighttime only. And using a blurring product or a primer or loose powder designed to blur pores for daytime.

I've been using epionce lytic tx and it contains salacylic acid. You have fair skin like Me and I suffer badly with open pores. This has reduced then dramatically
