How to shrink facial pores?

My skin looks older but it%26#039;s because my pores are ginormous! So does anyone have any advice on good products or home remedies that shrink pores?|||Okay, DO NOT wash your face with cold water and leave it like that because that DOES NOT shrink pores at ALL! It just dries your skin out!





1.Steam you face. Use a wet washcloth with hot water on it and leave it on your face until it%26#039;s cold. Then repeat. This opens your pores and unplug them





2.Apply ice cubes to your face. Surprisingly, this tightens them quite a bit. Just wrap them in a towel first so it won%26#039;t irritate your skin! Leave it on for about 15-30 seconds





3.Eat citrus foods. This firms your skin and rebuilds your collagen, which may contribute to increasing the elasticity of your skin and reducing your pore walls. Oranges are the best





4.Grab a washcloth and drench it in lemon and pineapple juice. Place the washcloth firmly on your face for one minute. Then rinse your skin with warm water. Lemon and pineapple juice contain natural enzymes that tighten and firm the face and purify and brighten the skin.





Hope that was helpful! Also don%26#039;t over steam your face and if irratation happens after one of thes tips stop using them Immedietly!|||Getting into a good skincare routine definitely helps.





- In the shower, exfoliate your face 2-3 times a week. A good one is St Ives Apricot Scrub.


- Every other day, use a cleanser like Biore Blemish Control Ice Cleanser or St Ives Apricot Cleanser. Both cleansing and exfoliating help to remove dirt from your pores.


- After your pores are clean and you%26#039;re out of the shower, a cold wet towel or ice cubes will help to close the pores.


- Use a toner to also close pores and restore skin pH daily, preferably do this after your shower.


- Once the toner is dry, apply your moisturiser.


- Once a week use a facial mud mask, also tightens pores.





I know it%26#039;s a long routine, usually when I%26#039;m lazy I skip the cold towel, toner and mud mask. :P|||that is my problem. unfortunately, the only mild somewhat solution for me is to use pore minimizers and get regular microdermabrasions. it can get pricey.





i know what not to do:


don%26#039;t pick.


stay out of the sun


don%26#039;t party (not assuming you do)|||apply lemon juice mixed with warm water on your skin , and leave on for 5 minutes , and rince off after. it might burn your skin becuse its cleaning the pores out also :D|||i agreee with aj
