What can you recommend for minimizing pores?

I know you can’t get rid of pores but I’m wondering is there anyway to make them smaller? I use La Roche Posay products. They keep my acne mostly at bay but I feel like my pores are just so large. Part of it is genetic, but just wondering if there’s anything else I can do at home to help. Thanks!

The AKG C 414 XLII multi-pattern condenser microphone offers a choice of nine polar patterns for the perfect sonic capture for every application. A peak hold LED displays even the shortest overload peaks. For live sound applications and permanent installations, all controls can easily be disabled for trouble-free use. The C414 XLII version differs from the C414 XLS version in one major respect - the capsule. The C414 XLII's slight presence boost and impressive spatial reproduction are both similar to the legendary AKG C12 microphone from 1953.

 Well, my friends, I don't want to always be upgrading. You spend more, in the long run, that way. There are other places to save money, but your voice IS the podcast.

So I went to several guitar stores in my area and tested out every single mic they had in the store. $40 mics all the way $5,000 mics. What I found out was this: you know imediately which ones you hate. It comes down to how the mic makes your voice sound

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
 The Shure SM81 is a high-quality, unidirectional condenser microphone designed for studio recording, broadcasting, and sound reinforcement. Its wide frequency response, low noise characteristics, and low RF susceptibility have made it a standard for applications involving acoustic instruments, especially guitar, piano, and cymbals. POWER REQUIREMENTS NOTE: This microphone requires phantom power and performs best with a 48 Vdc supply (IEC-61938). However, it will operate with slightly decreased headroom and sensitivity with supplies as low as 11 Vdc. Most modern mixers provide phantom power. You must use a balanced microphone cable: XLR-to-XLR or XLR-to-TRS. 

 AMAZON.COM 
 Built to withstand the rigors of regular stage and studio use, the Shure SM81 unidirectional condenser microphone is a great choice for studio recording, broadcasting, and sound reinforcement. Its wide frequency response, low noise characteristics, and low RF susceptibility make it a perfect match for applications involving acoustic instruments, especially guitar, piano, and cymbals. 

 Ruggedly constructed, the SM81 operates on phantom power and performs over a wide range of temperatures and humidity conditions. It comes with a swivel adapter, attenuator-switch lock, foam windscreen, and case for carrying and storage.

          * 150 ohm load: 128 dB (attenuator at 0) 138 dB (attenuator at -10) 
         
         
       * Hum Pickup: -3 dB equivalent SPL in a 1 mOe field (60 Hz) 
       * Self-Noise (equivalent sound pressure levels; measured with true rms voltmeter): 16 dB typical, A-weighted; 19 dB typical, weighted per DIN 45 405 
       * Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 78 dB (IEC 651)* at 94 dB SPL  *S/N ratio is difference between 94 dB SPL and product's equivalent self noise (SPL A-weighted). 
         
         
         
          * Overvoltage and Reverse Polarity Protection:  * Max. external voltage applied to pins 2 and 3 with respect to pin 1: +52 Vdc 
             * Reverse polarity protection: 200 mA max. (diode-clamped)

Guess what? The SM-81 mics were the most neutral (that's a very GOOD thing!), the most musical, the least distorted sounding mics of the group. Their sound pickup off-axis (where many mics add unwanted coloratio) was essentially indistinguishable from the straight-ahead sound. Wonderful! Since that project, we have bought 2 more SM-81s, and they continue to help us make beautiful recordings.

Well, in a word, no, I found nothing better in its price range (under $400). I brought in five different mics (from a vendor that accepts returns with no restocking fees), and placed them all among the string players, the choir, the soloists, and the organ. The recording was digital, with 96 kHz sampling and 24-bit resolution. Then came two weeks of listening and editing

A wonderful recording mic!

So I purchased an SM81 and finally hit the sweet spot of dB level and sound quality that makes the guitar recording a high quality rendition of what is played.   I purchased a second one so I could record in stereo and am very happy with the results.

The issue is getting the microphones placed and gain controlled so that the signal coming into the DAW is around -12dB and there is limited background noise so that the unamplified guitar sounds rich and natural.

Excellent tool for recording classical guitar
