27 Ways to Make Your Skin Glow

EXFOLIATE FOR SMALLER-LOOKING PORES

It's amazing how something so tiny can feel so huge, but enlarged pores are one of the most common beauty complaints. "Pores appear larger when they're filled with dirt, oil, dead skin cells, and keratin, a protein that lives on the surface of skin," explains Amiry. "Remove those plugs, and they seem to shrink." To clear out the gunk, reach for a cleanser that contains an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid, or AHA. These skin-friendly acids work to chemically exfoliate dead skin cells and dissolve dirt lurking deep within pores.
