Does lemon juice really minimize pores?

Question

I heard putting lemon juice on your face makes your pores smaller. Has anyone done this successfully?

Answer 1

My mom used lemon for freckles, if you use it with oatmeal it could work.
OR

To make pores smaller you use egg whites honey and oatmeal. You can also use a St. Ives Mask.

This is another opinion from someone else.

I recommend you to try the following. Now my pores are smaller and skin looks much better. I think I got benefits from the following ways:
1.wash your skin with hot water first. Pores expand in hot water, then you can clean it more completely. Get some ice and gently apply on face. I called this skin exercise. It gets stronger by adapting to different temperature.
2. Before sleep,natural honey on your face and rinse it after 10 minutes.
3.Run for 10 minutes everyday. Skin needs blood. Blood can carry the "toxin" away from your skin. Your heart will pump blood up to your face by running
4.Get rid of the sun. (Sunshine do nothing good to skin, believe me.)

Answer 2

Nope, it does work as an astringent. There really isn't anything to change the size of pores. There are products to help your skin appear poreless. Joey New York's foundation is really good for this.
