Open pores make your skin look uneven, textured, and less smooth, especially on the nose, cheeks, and forehead. They become more visible due to excess oil, dead skin buildup, sun exposure, and early aging. The good news is: you can shrink the appearance of open pores naturally—and very quickly—when you choose the right remedy according to your skin type.
