Oiler skin tends to have larger, more noticeable pores. The larger the oil production, the larger the pore, and vice versa, Chasin says. Some areas of your face may be oilier and show more visible pores than others. If the pores on your nose, cheeks, or forehead are large, try spot treating with a clay mask. Smooth a thin layer on clean skin, leave it on for several minutes, and rinse it off with water. The clay can quickly and gently wick extra oil out of congested pores so that your skin appears smoother.
There is a silver lining to clogged pores. Okay, maybe not a silver lining, but an oily one with zits, but itâs not the end of the world. In most cases, clogged pores on nose and face can be reduced or completely eradicated with the right treatment. When treating clogged pores, it isnât enough just to wash the top layer of your skin. This will only clean the skin superficially and wonât work to remove all of the oils that builds up and clogs your pores.
