Shrink Large Pores !!!
The enlarged pores result due to over activity of the sebaceous glands (oil glands)in the skin.Blackheads and large pores usually come together. This is because the pores are larger, so oil and dead skin sits inside them. This becomes a blackhead and stretches the pore even larger.Here are some home remedies that will help in shrinking the large pores.
To temporarily reduce the size of the pores, wrap an ice cube with a cotton cloth and pat it over your face.
1.Tomato juice helps in reducing the size of the pores. Therefore apply it on the skin regularly with a cotton ball and leave it for 20 minutes.Add tomato juice to calamine powder or sandalwood powder, as they help in reducing the size of the pores and even tone up the skin well. These packs help skin to reduce the sebum production and thus help in reducing the size of the pores.
2.Honey is equally good to tone up the pores and reduce the oiliness from the skin. It can be applied in any of the facial masks or can be directly applied on the skin with a little lemon juice and sugar to it. Massage it on face and leave it for few minutes. Then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Honey added to milk powder too helps if applied on the skin.
3.Make a paste of almond meal and water and apply it on pores for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water and apply witch hazel or a solution of apple cider vinegar and water.
4.Stir 2 tablespoons dry oatmeal into 1/4 cup buttermilk. Cover and let stand overnight. Strain off the liquid and smooth it over your face. Wait for 20 minutes, rinse off with cool water, rub with an ice cube, and then blot dry.
