How can I reduce the appearance of my pores?

I take good care of my skin and fortunately don%26#039;t really break out, but my pores are so large! Is there any way to reduce their appearance? I do a at-home microdermabrasion once a week and use a gentle exfoliating cleanser and a moisturizer everyday. Anything else I should be doing?|||Use a moisturizer w/ retinol. Retinol is a weaker form of Retin-A, a vitamin A derivative. Brands to consider: Neutrogena, ROC





The other thing you can do is see a dermatologist %26amp; ask about Retin-A. This is a prescription form of retinol. It promotes cell turnover %26amp; stimulates collagen production.





Clay masks absorb oils %26amp; temporarily tighten pores. Murad makes a good one. Beauty w/o Cruelty%26#039;s clay mask is a good bargain. Origin%26#039;s Charcoal clay mask is good too.





Steam facials can help too. Here%26#039;s how to DIY: http://www.ehow.com/how_2564_give-yourse鈥?/a>





Some home remedies:





Crush 4 - 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water to make mask. Or mix them with Queen Helene Mint Julep mask or aloe vera gel instead of water. Apply a thin layer to your clean face %26amp; let dry for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off w/ cool water.





Apply a thin layer of plain milk of magnesia, let it dry for 15-20 minutes, rinse off w/ cool water %26amp; a clean wash cloth. Plain milk of magnesia will absorb excess oil %26amp; temporarily tighten pores.





Make a mask of 1/3 cup plain yogurt, 2 tbsp. ground oatmeal, 2 tsp. honey. Apply %26amp; let sit for 15-20 minutes. Yogurt has lactic acid to help removed old skin cells. The ground oatmeal soothes the skin and provides more exfoliation. Honey has anti-bacterial properties %26amp; provides a bit of moisture.
