Remedies to Big Pores and Oily Skin

Egg Whites

Egg whites dramatically tone your skin and temporarily shrink your pores. Combine the white of a small cold egg with 1 tsp. cornstarch in a mixing bowl and beat with a wire whisk or fork until it’s frothy. Make sure the mixture should not be lumpy.  Apply a thin, even layer on your face and lie down on your back for about 20 minutes or until the mixture dries completely. Rinse with warm water and repeat once or twice weekly as needed.

Grapefruit Mask

Believe it or not, grapefruit can do wonders for your skin too. It can give you beautiful skin without laser treatments, acid peels or any other costly beauty treatment. Grapefruit with honey and dry oatmeal is one of the best remedies for oily skin. Make a paste with the juice from the grapefruit, honey and the dry oatmeal. You either blend it or just smash it all together.  Apply to any areas that are especially oily and allow the paste to dry before removing.

Baking Soda Paste

Baking soda paste is also considered very effective to reduce the appearance of big pores.  Exfoliate your skin with a paste of 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 2 tablespoons of lukewarm water. Rub the paste into your open pores for 20-30 seconds, moving your fingertips in a circular motion.  Leave for 5-10 minutes and then rinse all of the paste off.  Take note, if you have sensitive skin avoid use of baking soda, it can irritate skin and can cause red spots or patches.
