The easy way to close pores
Large pores on the face cause blemishes and breakouts around the forehead, nose, and chin. Tightening or shrinking your pores is the logical solution to help keep your skin looking its best. There are several ways to close your pores. You can buy clay masks or use skin tonics or astringents to shrink your pores. You can also try a few different items that you will find around the house for a quick and easy fix.
Heat expands, cold contracts. You should always wash your face with warm or hot water to open your pores and allow the cleanser to penetrate. However, you should rinse with cold water (as cold as you can bear). Rinsing your face with cold water is especially important if you have been exposed to heat, such as the sun, or if you work in a hot environment, such as a factory or kitchen. Whenever you expose your skin to heat, remember to stay cold.
Some foods have natural properties to tighten the skin and are great for reducing pores. Lemon is especially helpful due to its acidic nature. Some people rub a lemon wedge on their face, while others mix a few drops of lemon juice with water to create a natural astringent. A couple of drops of lemon juice mixed with egg whites is a fantastic firming mask for the skin. Peel off after about fifteen minutes and rinse off any leftover residue with cold water. If your skin is dry, adding a little milk will also provide some hydration.
There are many options to reduce pores that you can try at home. The fresh water sponge in a diluted gel works great before bed, and any redness it causes will disappear in the morning. You can also try herbal ice with chamomile, peppermint, or green tea. Rub it on your skin after washing your face to tone your skin and close your pores.
Rose water is great for reducing inflammation and shrinking large pores. You can also create your own essential oil blend, such as peppermint or lemon, and create your own mask. Keeping your face fresh and blemish-free starts with tight pores that don’t trap oil and dirt. These quick and simple solutions make it easy to shrink pores at home, leaving you with beautiful skin.
