Minimizing Pores

Ok, we all have them and we all want to make them as invisible as possible. And while pores are a natural part of life, they don’t have to run your life! Beyond normal cleansing, toning, and moisturizing, here are some things you can do to minimize your pores naturally!

1. Start with a homemade facial cleanser. Mix 1 tbsp each of honey, olive oil, and sugar. Rub this gently onto your face and wash off with water. Follow this up with an egg white mask. Mix two egg whites with a few drops of lemon and apply to your face. As the egg dries, it will pull dirt out of your pores. Leave the mask on for about five minutes and then rinse with water.
2. Mix almond meal with water to make a paste. Put it on your face and leave it for about 20 minutes. After you have rinsed it off, apply witch hazel.
3. A paste of table salt and buttermilk will also minimize pores. Massage it onto your face and rinse with warm water.
4. Oatmeal with a little bit of lemon juice and milk also makes a great paste for pores. Massage it in and leave for about 20 minutes.

Here are some other tips to reduce the appearance of pores.

1. Don’t use harsh astringents. They dry out the skin and cause your glands to produce more oils, thus enlarging pores.
2. Don’t wear heavy foundation; it draws attention to large pores. Wear light, sheer foundation to reduce the appearance of pores.
3. Apply your makeup in a downward motion, or else the color will get trapped in the pores and make them look bigger.
