Is there anything you should eat/avoid eating to reduce pore size?

I think i can pretty much help acne through diet but i have these big pores which look dilated and kind of choked up and it gives me an unhealthy look, i look at them and think they look like a sign of not being entirely clean and healthy on the inside?

Have any of you experienced smaller/tighter pores or fresher looking skin as a result of some diet change?

eat more foods that are anti inflammatory, get more essential oils in your diet like fish. If your skin has a congested look opt for the use of a BHA.

AHA and BHA can help, although, pore size is unfortunately something we have too live with, we can't actually change pore size, only improve the look of out skin.

How comes I can't even see my pores? Even when using a magnifying mirror. I don't see pores, just hair follicles surrounded by tight skin. My skin is incredibly tight, and very shiny. Like frickin plastic lol. It makes my forehead look like I got botox treatment. Maybe it's because I take Glucosamine and Retin A which increase HA. Hmmm.

If they are enlarged from being clogged, then keep them clear and they will shrink back to whatever their normal size is over time.

And yes, BHAs will help. Oil cleansing might help as well.

Fish, high in omega 3's. Great for skin

You need these different oils in your diet, hence "essential." When you think of essential oils you think like Almond oil, and Jojoba oil. Well think in terms of your diet as well.

You're thinking of essential fatty acids, or EFA's. Essential oils are eucalyptus, tea tree, chamomile, etc. while almond oil and jojoba are more commonly referred to as carrier oils (although they are still considered "essential oils" because of their purity). I agree that EFA's are essential but calling them essential oils makes things confusing.

^me being nitpicky.
