Enlarged Pores
Use toner everyday but don't forget to moisturise well afterwards as it can dry your skin out because the pores close and your skin produces or allows less sebum (natural oil) to naturally moisturise you.
Cool water on the face or a hydrating spray will close the pores, while heat opens them up.
Some people have larger pores naturally. Pore size is genetic also.
Oily Skin
Avoid over-washing and over-stimulating sebum (oil) production.
Wash your face with a mild and gentle cleanser and do it regularly twice a day and no more.
Avoid touching your skin with your hands when you don't need to.
Flaky Skin
Exfoliate with a good facial exfoliator. Doing this with a rough cloth is also good but these can harbour germs so wash them at a high temperature regularly. Moisturise well as this will keep the top layer of dead skin from drying out to fast. Avoid to much Central heating or air conditioning as dry air doesn't help dry skin.
Spotty Skin
Spots are a build up of natural oil on your skin. Wash regularly but not more than twice a day. Avoid harsh cleansers as they dry the top layer of skin but not the trapped sebum or oil beneath.
Squeeze white spots only. Do this when the skin has been soaked in warm water to open the pore and avoid any pinching as you will damage capillaries and this causes permanent redness in time.
This sounds mental but saliva actually helps get rid of spots. It must be the enzymes or something! A dab every few hours will do the trick and do it before bed.
