Pores

I have big pores on my face and they fill up with dirt really easily. They are also deep. What is a good product to use that will clean the pores and shrink them?
I can't go to the doctor since I don't have health insurance, so any over the counter products would be great.
Thank you in advance!

I recommend three products by Estee Lauder. First wash with their foaming cleanser for normal/combination skin which gives a real soap-and-water clean feeling. Then exfoliate with their face scrub for normal combination skin (these products are the ones in blue tubes). Thirdly, apply their Idealist skin refiniser to minimise pores. Loiloi x

try to wash with cold water on your face...pores dont open and close however they can appear bigger and smaller - usually cold water makes your pores appear smaller. also maybe try getting an extractor. its a small tool sold at ulta, cvs, or other beauty supply places. it looks like a thin long piece of metal with two loops on either end - this tool drags dirt out of your pores and takes car of pimples- its fantastic.

i used to have awful skin but these things really changed that for me
washing my face before bed and always removing my make up
alwaaaays use face lotion after because if not your skin tries to make up for the oil lost and produces more oil. garner makes great face lotion by the way
avoid smoking, even being around it is bad for enlarged pores
and lastly keep your hair out of your face while you sleep and wash your bedding at least once a week.
best of luck-hope it helps

oh and dont touch your face!
