I hate them and they make me feel so self conscious. I hide them with make up (I know-this makes them worse) but make up only lasts for so long. Help!

Natural herbs? Paw-paw has natural astringent, makes the skin go tight. splashes of water is gud , but in Ur case .. soak a hand towel in hot water, wring and place on Ur nose for a min or half and then rinse with cold water. Orange peal is the natural source of vitamin c in abundance. Dry those peals under the sun ( 4 5 days of full sun) then crush into a food processor and mix with some milk (and if possible a pinch of turmeric-- highly antiseptic and cleansing) pat the mixture on ur entire face for 10 mins wash off. feel the smoothness and tightness on Ur face afterwards

Use an exfoliater . I recommend St. Ives Apricot Scrub.
Also, use pore strips. I recommend Biore Ultra Pore Strips.
If you still have large pores, go get a facial. I promise you that once facial will bring dramatic changes to your face.

use a mask every night before you go to sleep. just apply it to your nose and wait for 15-30 minutes and wash it off. i use mint julep mask,not expensive, and it works really well.
