While the cause and fix vary from person to person, a consistent skincare routine where you properly wash your skin, regularly exfoliate, and moisturize is a good starting point for reducing excess oil and improving the look of pores. But one aspect of this routine is often overlooked as it seemingly has nothing to do with oiliness. And that's sunscreen. UV exposure hurts your skin's elasticity. As a result, the skin feels "saggy" and not as tight. And that causes the pores to look worse and larger than they are. So always wear SPF because supple, elastic, and bouncy skin will make your pores look significantly smaller.
