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 Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Foam Camping mattress is the classic sleeping pad, and trusted choice of campers, backpackers, and mountaineers. For generations, outdoor enthusiasts have used the compact, durable, and lightweight closed-cell foam mattress for sleeping on the ground. The classic pad features folding accordion-style construction that is compact and easily packable for base camp or transporting into the backcountry. Softer on the top for comfort, and denser on the bottom for insulation, durability, and protection from rocks and dirt, the proprietary foam features heat-trapping dimples that capture heat for extra warmth in cold conditions (R-value 1. 7; R-value measures the material’s ability to insulate—the higher the R-value, the warmer the pad). The Thermarest Z Lite Foam Sleeping Pad can be used by minimalists as a stand-alone pad, or doubled up with another ground pad or air mattress for an exceptionally good night’s sleep. Camping mattress measures 72 x 20 inches (20 x 5 x 5. 5 inches folded) and weighs 14 ounces. Made in the USA.

Basic but absolutely reliable, our budget pick works for backpackers, car campers, and kids.

The Therm-a-Rest Z Lite SOL has seemingly been on the market since the Stone Age. Likely anyone who has had some exposure to the outdoors will be familiar with this pad or one extremely similar to it. While the Z Lite simply does not offer the high level of comfort most air pads do, it has some redeeming features that shouldn't be ignored. The Z Lite is an excellent choice for those wanting to add a bit of versatility to their arsenal of camping equipment.
However, it is one of the least packable pads we have tested and is miserably uncomfortable on hard surfaces. The closed-cell foam definitely won't pop, but it also takes up a lot of space for how little comfort it actually provides. If you're seeking high value, outstanding durability, and reliability on the trail, this is an excellent choice.

 So I Was looking at little ways that I could keep myself a little bit warmer, So for example: I updated my sleeping bag and I updated my sleeping mat. So My previous sleeping mat is this. This is just a cheap thing that I bought off eBay for like seven dollars. It's made of your classic Blue/Green foam that you've probably seen before, this one just pretends to be a little bit fancy because it's got some dimples

 So Let's talk about some of the specs.. The Z Lite Sol comes in regular and small,. this one is the regular

Thermarest Z-Lite SOL - Gear Review - Hiking Sleeping Mat

 ,,,,Thoughts:,,Durability: 9 - survived a crampon attack well,,Comfort: 4 - thin compared to other offerings on the market,,Warmth: 7,,Packability: 6 - good packed size for a foam pad

Easy to use but not very comfortable

 Another nice feature: All of these little cups. They trap warm air and help insulate you from the ground pretty well. I've used this pad in 30 to 40 degree weather with a 20 degree sleeping bag. It didn't keep me as warm as I would have liked, but it definitely made a difference

 The pad is lightweight, coming in just under a pound. One side has a reflective material that radiates some of your body heat back to you to help keep you warm. Another nice feature: All of these little cups. They trap warm air and help insulate you from the ground pretty well

Therma Rest Z Lite Sleeping Pad Review

 Under an air mattress this might work well, but that would be carrying a lot of weight.

Not very comfortable

 Prior to this I have used the Therm-a-Rest self-inflating pad, and I like that a lot better. This is not as comfortable, it takes up a lot more space in my pack, and only weight 3 oz more than the Z Lite. I'm going to keep it for emergencies like this trip, but it will not be my go-to pad.

Better than nothing

This is really heavy and expensive for a foam pad. Now I understand that sleeping pads are used for warmth and not neccesarily comfort, but there are a lot more comfortable options out there. If you are a side sleeper, go for an inflatable pad. It is more expensive, but much more comfortable

 If you are a back sleeper go for the ridgerest which is one ounce heavier and much more comfortable.

Better options out there

 It still takes up about the same space, but it is much easier to keep it at "packed" size.  Value: For a foam pad the Z-Lite is not that cheap. It is, however, quite a bit cheaper than an inflatable pad.  Comfort: This is where the rubber meets the road

 It is, however, quite a bit cheaper than an inflatable pad.  Comfort: This is where the rubber meets the road. I can tell you that having this under me is loads better than sleeping right on the ground. The Z-Lite did a great job insulating me from the cold ground

Lightweight, Inexpensive, Durable, Easy Deployment

  I would not purchase this pad again, but I do still bring it with me on most hikes as a utility mat and it’s light enough that I don’t mind carrying it. I just don’t sleep directly on it.
