Pore strips, : Pore strips help, mild exfoliating scrubs, and sometimes treatments like microdermabrasion can help. A good astringent may help. Also, you can buy a little device called a 'pore extractor' - that you can use (very gently) to manually extract the blackheads and whiteheads that develop without causing bruising or scarring. Professional facials can focus on this too, but they are expensive.
