I have big pores on my face is there anything i can do?

Answer 1

Pore size is determined by genetics & hormone levels. Pores cannot be made smaller permanently. The best one can do is to exfoliate to keep them clear and use a clay mask to temporarily tighten them.

You can use products w/ salicylic acid to help slough off dead skin cells. e.g. Neutrogen Clear Pore Oil Eliminating Toner

Gentle face scrubs are another option. You can make a paste of baking soda and water to gently exfoliate your skin. Avon Microdermabrasion Scrub is my favorite one.

Facials also help keep pores clear. Here's how to DIY:

Some home remedies:

You can crush up 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water to make mask. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes & rinse off w/ cool water.

Mix half a teaspoon of crushed uncoated aspirin tablets with Queen Helene Mint Julep mask or aloe vera gel to use as a mask. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes & rinse off w/ cool water.

Milk of Magnesia - apply in thin layer where needed & allow to dry 5-10 mins. Will absorb oil & tighten pores. Can be used as a spot treatment too.

For toner:
8 ounce bottle of distilled water add four crushed, uncoated
aspirin
or
mix of 1/2 water, 1/2 witch hazel, 15 crushed, uncoated aspirin, and 2 drops of tea tree essential oil and 2 drops of rosemary essential oil
