Oiler skin tends to have larger, more noticeable pores. The larger the oil production, the larger the pore, and vice versa, Chasin says. Some areas of your face may be oilier and show more visible pores than others. If the pores on your nose, cheeks, or forehead are large, try spot treating with a clay mask.

But, keep in mind, both methods are good for almost everyone and it could just boil down to your personal preference.
