Every time we see our reflections in the mirror, we immediately zoom in on our pores. If they're visible, that's when the age-old issue comes up: How can I minimize my pores? Having invisible pores can creates a porcelain finish on the face, hence the obsession aptly called porexia. Unfortunately, pore size can't really be shrunk because it's genetic. While you don't need to sue your relatives for granting you large-pore DNA, as long as your pores are free from dirt and oil, your flawless skin fantasies will come true. See our slideshow to see the many ways to improve your skin's appearance.
