Mother Nature may have skipped over you when she was handing out tight pores, but a few extra steps added to your daily routine might fool everyone into thinking you were born with fantastic skin.

It's true that genes and heredity play a role in the type of skin you have and the size of your pores. If your gene pool isn't blessed, you can still make the best of what you've got. Do a complete overhaul by stripping away dirt in clogged pores. Strip once weekly and you can actually minimize the appearance of large pores over time. Cleanse up to three times a week with an exfoliator in a hot shower. Then close pores with a cool rinse. To send pores further undercover with a combination of soft-focus powder and natural extracts, use a nourishing moisturizer daily. Follow these simple steps and people might think you were born looking this great.
