Huge pores :(?

I have huge pores on my cheeks and nose.. I was wondering if there was any local stores that sell products that could tone it down..Huge pores :(?
You said it yourself (pretty much): toner is the way to go. Clean %26amp; Clear or Neutrogena are good drug store brands.Huge pores :(?
i'd try a clay mask - like the queen helene mint julep mask that costs only $2-3. it's available at grocery stores and larger stores like walmart. plus, at that price, you won't be wasting a ton if it doesn't give the dramatic results you are looking for. also, try a primer under your foundation (if you wear makeup) to keep it from settling in and emphasizing those pores. while clearing up bacteria and cleansing will help shrink them some, for the most part their size is determined by genetics.
those commercials about proactive call when there offering the $20 offer. This really does work. cleanse, tone medicate and if you have dry or start to have dryskin moisturize with green tea lotion.
A little bit of rubbing alcohol once a day, or once every two days depending how dry or oily your face is, should help tone it down. Washing your face daily will also help.


Toner has a lot of alcohol in it (you could buy toner if you wish), but rubbing alcohol is MUCH cheaper.
These are the masks that I use for my large pores. They look so much better since I started using these recipes.





Papaya mask/exfoliant





Cut papaya in 1 inch chunks. Blend/mash 2 or 3 chunks and store the wrest in the freezer. Apply the blended/mashed papaya and leave on face for 10-20 min. Use 2 or 3x a week.


The papaya may tingle but that just means that the papaya is working and it is breaking down dead skin cells to give that lovely glow and since it breaks down the dead skin it clears out the pores and in turn they shrink!!! (You may not see the results you want until you use it for a while.)





Egg white mask





1 egg white


1 tsp. cornstarch


Beat ingredients. Apple to face, let dry 10-15 min. Rinse.


(Tightens pores. Makes you look like you got a mini face lift!!)





Baking soda microdermbrasion/exfoliant recipe





Make a paste with baking soda and water, then gently rub on face and rinse.





Sea salt glow (my favorite!)





Make a paste using olive oil, fresh lemon juice or water to moisten the sea salt. Apply to face and gently rub skin, rinse.





(olive oil is good for dry or normal skin, lemon juice is better for oily or acne prone skin and water can be used for whichever.)


Clay Facial mask





Choose the right clay for your skin type. (French-oily-acne, bentonite-normal, cosmetic or white-any, kaolinite pink-normal-combo, kaolinite white-dry-mature, kaolinite red-sensitive. Add plain water or floral waters or try wetting agents such as fruit purees . Make a thick paste of the clay. Apply the mask to your skin and let it dry for 20 minutes. Rinse well with warm water and pat dry. Repeat weekly. ( I use french clay)
