Any of the microscopic openings or pores in the epidermis of leaves and young stems. They are generally more numerous on the undersides of leaves. They provide for the exchange of gases between the outside air and the interconnecting air canals within the leaf. A stoma opens and closes in response to turgor pressure within its two surrounding guard cells. Because the inner wall of each of these sausage- or bean-shaped cells is thicker than the outer wall, when they fill with water and become turgid they balloon outward, enlarging the stoma. A drop in carbon-dioxide levels to lower than normal also causes the guard cells to become turgid. Guard cells control excessive water loss from the plant, closing on hot, dry, or windy days and opening when conditions are more favorable.
In botany, a %26quot;stoma%26quot; (also stomate; plural stomata) is a tiny opening or pore, found mostly on the underside of a plant leaf, and used for gas exchange. The pore is formed by a pair of specialized sclerenchyma cells known as guard cells which are responsible for regulating the size of the opening. Air containing carbon dioxide enters the plant through these openings where it gets used in photosynthesis and respiration. Oxygen produced by photosynthesis in the parenchyma cells (parenchyma cells with pectin) of the leaf interior exits through these same openings. Also, water vapor is released into the atmosphere through these pores in a process called transpiration.
Dicotyledons usually have more stomata on the lower epidermis than the upper epidermis. As these leaves are held horizontally, upper epidermis is directly illuminated. Locating fewer stomata on the upper epidermis can then prevent excess water loss.
Monocotyledons are different. Because their leaves are held vertically, they will have the same number of stomata on the two epidermes.
If the plant has floating leaves, there will be no stomata on the lower epidermis and they absorb gases directly from water through the cuticle. If it is a submerged leaf, no stomata will be present on either side.
Stoma in Greek (蟽蟿蠈渭伪) means %26quot;mouth%26quot;.
Carbon gain and water loss
Stoma of a leaf under a microscopeAs the key reactant in photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, is found in the atmosphere. Most plants require the stomata to be open during daytime. The problem is that the air spaces in the leaf are saturated with water vapor, which exits the leaf through the stomata (this is known as transpiration). Therefore, plants cannot gain carbon dioxide without simultaneously losing water vapor.
Alternative approaches
Ordinarily, carbon dioxide is fixed to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) by the enzyme Rubisco in mesophyll cells exposed directly to the air spaces inside the leaf. This exacerbates the carbon/water tradeoff for two reasons: first, Rubisco has a relatively low affinity for carbon dioxide and second, it fixes oxygen to RuBP, wasting energy and carbon in a process called photorespiration. For both of these reasons, Rubisco needs high carbon dioxide concentrations, which means high stomatal apertures and consequently high water loss.
However, plants possess another enzyme that can also fix carbon dioxide: PEP carboxylase or PEPCase. This enzyme has high carbon dioxide affinity, so a given rate of carbon dioxide fixation can be achieved with less stomatal opening, and hence less water loss. The catch is that the products of carbon fixation by PEPCase must be converted in an energy-intensive process to continue through the carbon reactions of photosynthesis. As a result, the PEPCase alternative is only preferable where water is more limiting but light -- which provides the energy in this case -- is plentiful, and/or where high temperatures increase the solubility of oxygen relative to that of carbon dioxide, magnifying Rubisco%26#039;s oxygenation problem.
CAM plants
A group of mostly desert plants called %26quot;CAM%26quot; plants (Crassulacean acid metabolism, after the family Crassulaceae, which includes the species in which the CAM process was first discovered) open their stomata at night (when water evaporates more slowly from leaves for a given degree of stomatal opening), use PEPcarboxylase to fix carbon dioxide and store the products in large vacuoles. The following day, they close their stomata and release the carbon dioxide fixed the previous night into the presence of Rubisco. This saturates Rubisco with carbon dioxide, allowing minimal photorespiration. This approach, however, is severely limited by the capacity to store fixed carbon in the vacuoles, so it is preferable only when water is severely limiting.
Opening and closure
Confocal image of an Arabidopsis thaliana stoma showing two guard cells exhibiting green fluorescent protein and native chloroplast (red) fluorescenceHowever, most plants do not have the above-said facility and must therefore open and close their stomata during the daytime in response to changing conditions, such as light intensity, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration. It is not entirely certain how these responses work. However, the basic mechanism involves regulation of osmotic pressure.
When conditions are conducive to stomatal opening (e.g., high light intensity and high humidity), a proton pump drives protons (H+) from the guard cells. This means that the cells%26#039; electrical potential becomes increasingly negative, and so an uptake of potassium ions (K+) occurs. This in turn increases the osmotic pressure inside the cell, drawing in water through osmosis. This increases the cell%26#039;s volume and turgor pressure. Then, because the wall of the guard cell facing the stomatal pore is less elastic (more rigid) than the wall on the opposite side of the cell, the two guard cells bow apart from one another, creating an open pore through which gas can move.
When the roots begin to sense a water shortage in the soil, abscisic acid (ABA) is released[1]. ABA binds to certain receptors in the guard cells%26#039; plasma membranes, which first raises the pH of the cytosol of the cells and cause the concentration of free Ca2+ to increase in the cytosol due to influx from outside the cell and release of Ca2+ from internal stores such as the endoplasmic reticulum and vacuoles[2]. This causes the chloride (Cl-) and inorganic ions to exit the cells. Secondly, this stops the uptake of any further K+ into the cells and subsequentally the loss of K+. The loss of these solutes causes a reduction in osmotic pressure, thus making the cell flaccid and so closing the stomatal pores. When the stoma become flaccid some water is lost to the environment. This loss of water is called transpiration and is essential in the water cycle.
Interestingly, the guard cells do have chloroplasts whereas other epidermal cells (from which guard cells are derived) do not. Their function is controversial.[3][4]
Inferring stomatal behavior from gas exchange
Another way to find out whether stomata are open or closed, or more accurately, how open they are, is by measuring leaf gas exchange. A leaf is enclosed in a sealed chamber and air is driven through the chamber. By measuring the concentrations of carbon dioxide and water vapor in the air before and after it flows through the chamber, one can calculate the rate of carbon gain (photosynthesis) and water loss (transpiration) by the leaf.
However, because water loss occurs by diffusion, the transpiration rate depends on two things: the gradient in humidity from the leaf%26#039;s internal air spaces to the outside air, and the diffusion resistance provided by the stomatal pores. Stomatal resistance (or its inverse, stomatal conductance) can therefore be calculated from the transpiration rate and humidity gradient. (The humidity gradient is the humidity inside the leaf, determined from leaf temperature based on the assumption that the leaf%26#039;s air spaces are saturated with vapor, minus the humidity of the ambient air, which is measured directly.) This allows scientists to learn how stomata respond to changes in environmental conditions, such as light intensity, humidity, or carbon dioxide concentration.

How does facewash get rid of blackheads/clogged pores?
i bought clean%26amp;clear blackhead removing cleanser and it dont work. when i squeeze the blackhead out, its round, vanilla colored, and solid. what i don%26#039;t get is how any kind of facewash can get that out?|||it cleans ur face and deep cleans ur pores and pulls the blackheads and pimples out and dries them out|||Steam your face once a week for 3 to 4 minutes to open up the pores. Use a home made face scrub using the white of an egg and a little salt.More cheap and natural remedies for black and white heads at the link below.|||A cleanser is to remove dirt and make-up from your face, it will not remove black-heads at all, you need a good exfoliator and use that twice a week, you should notice a difference.|||many treatments instruct you to use warm water to dampen the area to be cleaned; this causes a physiological reaction in the skin to regulate temperature - opening the pores, the cleansers use chemicals which are designed to breakdown large lipid molecules and bind to them. rinsing allows the surfactants to carry the lipids into a suspension and away from the skin.|||some help to prevent new ones 4rm coming and some make it seem like its not working but it is cause it need to take all the acne out so it migth look like its making it worst but its not
=]|||Because by keeping it clean you get read of the blackhead and pimples, which comes for oil and other things.|||well, really all face wash does is help sloph off the top layer of skin, dead skin cells, and get rid of a little bacteria. what I%26#039;d suggest to get rid of blackheads is to moisten a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and rub it on your face 1-2 times a day and not more than 3. Also make sure that you moisturize your face afterwards (some kind of non-greasy formula) so that it doesn%26#039;t get dried out. The alcohol kills bacteria which cause pimples and helps clean out your pores. I found this out recently and I only wish I%26#039;d known it a few years ago when my acne was at its worst.|||Do you use a moisturiser after you cleanse and do you use a non abrrasive facial exfoliant twice a week?
If not then this may be why. You need to double cleanse (cleanse twice) then remove the cleanser with luke warm water and clean facial sponges or face washer, apply a lotion ( a non alcoholic toner) and then apply a day cream to your skin.
If you squeeze your comedones (blackheads) you should be covering your finger tips with tissues so that you do not put bacteria onto your skin. If nothing comes out DO NOT continue squeezing as it is not ready and you will burst capillaries in your skin.
For best results you can purchase a mud mask or a mask which dries solid- these act as drawing agents and will draw the bacteria, commedones etc out of your skin but your skin will feel tight afterwards so apply your lotion and moisturiser immediately after removing the mask.
If you do this routine twice a day and use an exfoliant twice a week and a mask once a week you will begin to see clear follicles in about 1-2 weeks.
To prevent further breakouts, comedomes etc try not to touch your face and skin as this spreads oil and bacteria and will clogg pores.
I hope I have helped you, sorry for such a long answer|||Oh yeah that%26#039;s a delicious blackhead description. :)
It depends on the facewash, but there are two main things that help in the process besides the obvious, soap.
First is exfoliation. It gets rid of dead skin that clogs pores and loosens the deep down dirt and oil that turns into blackheads. And second is medication. It treats the exsisting problem with special scientist formulated magical ways. ;)
But nothing is going to help if you don%26#039;t wash your face morning AND night. No matter what face wash you use, it makes a major improvement. (I use clean%26amp;clear too but it doesn%26#039;t work instantly! Don%26#039;t run out of patience, keep up your routine and you%26#039;ll start to see results.)
Good luck!

What can i use at home to shrink pores?
I have been playing around with homemade remedies for a while and there are a couple really good things you can do.
Mix baking soda with a little water, to form a loose paste. Use this as an exfoliant, rub over your face with mild pressure (like microdermabrasion) and then let dry for a few minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. I love it!
Another really good pore cleaner is 1 teaspoon unflavored gelitan and 1 1/2 teaspoon milk, mix and then microwave for 10 seconds.
Stir and thickly put over the areas where your pores need cleaning, but quickly. (after you let it cool for about 1 minute). Don%26#039;t move your face, so that it doesn%26#039;t crack or dry loose.
Let dry, approx 15 minutes and then just peel off like Biore%26#039; strips! Works really good!
Ok, last but not least! Crack an egg and seperate the white, throw yolk away.
Mix the white with an egg beater to break it down. Then on a clean face, put the egg white wash all over. You%26#039;ll use about 1/2 of it.
Really get it thick on your skin.
Let dry, about 15 minutes, try to remain expressionless so you don%26#039;t crack the mask. Remove with warm wet cloth, you will be amazed how good it makes your skin look!
It%26#039;s almost a mini facelift!

How to help get rid of big pores on my face?
As a person who also has large pores I can tell you the only thing you can do is clean your face at least twice a day . I have very oily skin which means my pores are always dirty. I find that using a deep cleaning cleanser ( I use Clean and Clear - the Foaming Facial Cleanser and the Deep Cleaning Astringent) really get into the pores and clean my face. I also try to use oil-free products so as not to add to oiliness of my skin. If you have sensitive skin like myself, you may have to try a couple of brands first before you find the right one. I break out when I change my cleansers so that is something you%26#039;ll have to watch out for and give yourself at least a month with any given product to see if it actually works (stating the obvious but if you get itchy red bumps or anything out of the ordinary that isn%26#039;t a pimple I suggest discontinuing use of the product since that it%26#039;s a normal reaction of your face to the product)
I hope this helps and good luck.
If you find anything else that works please let me know :)|||This safe, natural cure is a really effective way to quickly reduce large pores and permanently rid face of pimples, black and white heads
Quite vigorous massage using natural unadulterated oils works wonders. Lavender, sweet almond and grape seed have been used by specialists to treat and cure acne as they do not clog, and they actually reduce skin%26#039;s oil production. Extra virgin olive oil also works well on many skins.
So as not to pull/stretch skin, first tighten by opening mouth 3/4%26quot; and pull lips firrmly back against teeth. Do a forward and back massage - not circular - using tips and front of fingers and sometimes palms - depending where on face you apply. For quickest results do for 15 to 20 min daily (Doesn%26#039;t have to be all in one session). Skin will clear and pores will reduce in as little as 2 to 3 days and see better results day by day.
Apply to entire face to get a tight, firm, totally blemish free, healthy skin. Oils are perfect safe moisturizers - many moisturizing products harm and age skin. Simply wipe away surface excess with water and tissues. Does not leave face oily looking.

If you find anything else that works please let me know :)|||This safe, natural cure is a really effective way to quickly reduce large pores and permanently rid face of pimples, black and white heads
Quite vigorous massage using natural unadulterated oils works wonders. Lavender, sweet almond and grape seed have been used by specialists to treat and cure acne as they do not clog, and they actually reduce skin%26#039;s oil production. Extra virgin olive oil also works well on many skins.
So as not to pull/stretch skin, first tighten by opening mouth 3/4%26quot; and pull lips firrmly back against teeth. Do a forward and back massage - not circular - using tips and front of fingers and sometimes palms - depending where on face you apply. For quickest results do for 15 to 20 min daily (Doesn%26#039;t have to be all in one session). Skin will clear and pores will reduce in as little as 2 to 3 days and see better results day by day.
Apply to entire face to get a tight, firm, totally blemish free, healthy skin. Oils are perfect safe moisturizers - many moisturizing products harm and age skin. Simply wipe away surface excess with water and tissues. Does not leave face oily looking.

Would an ICECUBE work to close your pores?
well we all know that when your pores are open they are more likely to get dirt in them (and get pimples). well every morning i wash my face with hot water and when i am done rinsing the soap off i splash cold water in my face to close my pores again. do you think an icecube would work better to close my pores?|||Don%26#039;t put toothpaste on your face! It will cause more breakouts. The ingredient that prevents tarter buildup is very bad for the skin. Your pores cannot actually %26quot;close%26quot; It is always possible for them to get get stuff in them. Be sure to clean your skin twice a day with high quality products (meaning products that are NOT from a drugstore) Also you higher quality makeup. Do not spend under $30-$40 dollars on a foundation. Avoid products that contain talc. Talc can actually temporally enlarge pores and is actually a toxin. Use a natural seaweed mask a few times a week, and a gentle face scrub.|||i guess.

They have been used by specialists to treat/cure acne as they lessen skin%26#039;s production of oil, they do not clog or cause breakouts (See USER%26#039;S happy response below ***).
First tighten skin by opening mouth 3/4%26quot; and pulling lips firmly back against teeth. Use finger tips and front of fingers and sometimes palms depending where on face you massage. Do forward and back massage - a circular motion will not work. Do over and over firmly and quite vigorously. For quickest results do each day for 15 to 30 min.(Doesn%26#039;t have to be all in one session).
Pores will greatly minimize in as little as 2 to 3 days. If massage entire face you will quickly have a smooth, radiant, tight, totally blemish free, healthy skin and you will not need to use any other product or treatment ever again - not even moisturizers. Oils are perfect natural moisturizers.

Heat creates an atmosphere for your pores to expand. A hot rag (as hot as you can stand it) across the face is the best bet. As far as a topical treatment, you need to invest in a good scrub and a very fine toner. I tell people this all the time that I do makeup for. Here are some key things to remember when looking for cleansers:
1. A good scrub needs to have some sort of exfoliant (i.e. microbeads, pumice grains, etc.) in it. Once you have applied the hot rag to your face and opened up your pores, the scrub is used to get deep down into the pores and clean them out.
2. In a good scrub, stay away from anything that has a lot of soap or fragrance to it. Fragrance = additives that probably will makes things worse. Your main ingredient when looking for a scrub is salicylic acid. Salicylic acid acts as an antibacterial to cleanse deep to break up the blackheads and fight the bacteria causing them.
3. A good toner should be found because once the skin is clean, the toner is used to tighten the cleansed pores to minimalize the entrance of future bacteria. And sadly to say it (but get over it), A TONER DOES STINK! Its made primarily of alcohol, so it will stink! Get over it! It%26#039;s worth it!
4. Lastly, and a lot of people don%26#039;t think about this, find a light lotion with an added sunscreen (at least SPF 15). You want a light lotion (nothing fancy or fragrancy) with a sunscreen to prevent dryness from the toner and the sunscreen willhelp protect from sun damage (obviously!).
Always remember to catch blackheads before they start (before they become pimples)! And for the love of God: DO NOT PICK AT A PIMPLE IF YOU GET ONE! picking only creates more infection from the bacteria on your hands....and most importantly: it%26#039;s just GROSS! Some brands to try for a scurb or toner would be: Oil of Olay, Biore`, Clinique, Clean %26amp; Clear, Clearasil.......just to name a few! Oh and p.s. to guys: just because girls use it in a commercial DOES NOT mean that a guy cannot use it too! A girl would like it a lot more to see a guy with a clean face and a cabinet full of girly skin care stuff, than Mister Zit next door! I%26#039;m gay....trust me on this!

When the acne got bad enough that i started noticing scars i tried a chemical peel under the care of a Dermatologist. I had peels every 6 - 8 weeks for about a year and have had perfect skin since. The chemical was only on my skin for 5 minutes, removed, followed by an icewater mask to soothe. I noticed results after the first session. Like i said, i had a mild peel, so afterwards only thing i had to make sure to do was wear an SPF moisterizer, which i do anyway. No recovery time.|||A girl I lived with did it.

I am interested in reducing the size of my pores and attaining a clearer,smoother complexion; i have been?
looking into primers and noticed that some are silicon based. So i was thinking of just using silicon to help fill the minor pits that i have thanks to chickenpox back in the day...i also read that aloe gel helps as well.

Any suggestions on a good primer to use or should the silicon gel and aloe gel work just as well? i bought new skin (name of the company) scar gel and it helps minimize acne scars...don%26#039;t know about pits yet!

Does the pores of your skin open and close based on the temperature?
Warm water will open your pores, cold water will close them.
so when you wash your face use warm water so they open and let dirt out, but rinse with cold so they close and keep dirt out.
It works like that because your pores have to open to sweat in hot weather.|||It seems like warm water would open them up and cold water would close them.

Moisturize- buy a facial moisturizer for oily skin ( remember moisture is different than oil, so it is important to keep your skin moisturized).

Only answer if u really know, whats the best way to unclog your pores?
the blackheads on my nose are really ugly and annoying how can i gert rid of them forever?|||When it comes to the face, heat is the biggest key. Heat creates an atmosphere for your pores to expand. A hot rag (as hot as you can stand it) across the face is the best bet. As far as a topical treatment, you need to invest in a good scrub and a very fine toner. I tell people this all the time that I do makeup for. Here are some key things to remember when looking for cleansers:
1. A good scrub needs to have some sort of exfoliant (i.e. microbeads, pumice grains, etc.) in it. Once you have applied the hot rag to your face and opened up your pores, the scrub is used to get deep down into the pores and clean them out.
2. In a good scrub, stay away from anything that has a lot of soap or fragrance to it. Fragrance = additives that probably will makes things worse. Your main ingredient when looking for a scrub is salicylic acid. Salicylic acid acts as an antibacterial to cleanse deep to break up the blackheads and fight the bacteria causing them.
3. A good toner should be found because once the skin is clean, the toner is used to tighten the cleansed pores to minimalize the entrance of future bacteria. And sadly to say it (but get over it), A TONER DOES STINK! Its made primarily of alcohol, so it will stink! Get over it! It%26#039;s worth it!
4. Lastly, and a lot of people don%26#039;t think about this, find a light lotion with an added sunscreen (at least SPF 15). You want a light lotion (nothing fancy or fragrancy) with a sunscreen to prevent dryness from the toner and the sunscreen willhelp protect from sun damage (obviously!).
Always remember to catch blackheads before they start (before they become pimples)! And for the love of God: DO NOT PICK AT A PIMPLE IF YOU GET ONE! picking only creates more infection from the bacteria on your hands....and most importantly: it%26#039;s just GROSS! Some brands to try for a scurb or toner would be: Oil of Olay, Biore`, Clinique, Clean %26amp; Clear, Clearasil.......just to name a few! Oh and p.s. to guys: just because girls use it in a commercial DOES NOT mean that a guy cannot use it too!

I have oily skin. :(|||Get a cleanser that helps with your pores and oily skin.|||Wash your face with soap rinse with cold water it makes pores smaller|||Use egg mask to tighten your skin and decrease the size of the pores. Break an egg and use the egg white on your face. Let it sit for about 30 minutes and rinse, do this every other day or at least twice a week.

and using any anti acne products that don%26#039;t clog pores such as oxy pads and cleansing pads.
large pores are a trait or condition of damaged pores due to dirt and diet... shrinking them is only temporary and sometimes shrinkage can damage pores by clogging them up instead of opening them up and releaseing dirt and oils that are part of the natural process.

do this like every other weekend or so... not too often. :) it makes ur skin feel reallly soft, and reduces the look of pores!|||I heard that egg white will do the trick for shrinking the pores. what you%26#039;ll do is separate the egg yolk from the white, stir it a little and apply to area with a brush.|||I don%26#039;t think so but there are temporary ways to reduce them using astringents. You can make them worse by clogging them so keep your pores clean.|||Yves rocher Cosmetic mask|||I don%26#039;t know if your pores can actually be reduced, i don%26#039;t think so though, but try using a face wash daily, so your face doesn%26#039;t get oily and your pores won%26#039;t show afterwards. And when you go out you can get one of those special face cleansing tissues, so if you feel your face is oily you wipe it.|||i am chemical sensitive so only only use natural product s usually from kitchen this will not only stimulate your skin thoughly it acts like a chemical peel but its natural and gentle

1. STAY AWAY FROM CAFFEINE.
2.FRIED FOODS
3.ALWEAYS RINSE YOUR SKIN WITH COLD WATER AFTER CLEANSING.
4.USE AMILD ALCOHOL SOLUTION.(ANY STORE BOUGHT ATRINGENTS WILL DO).
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT..........|||wash you face with the face wash you alllways and use coold water instead of warm|||after cleansing, rinse your face with cold water and use witch hazel as an astringent, and believe it or not, a little Preparation H as a face cream|||Aspirin mask helps but you have to make sure that it does not stay on your face for longer than 10 minutes. Crush three Aspirin pills and mix the powder with a small amount of water. Lay it on your face for 10 minutes and then wash it off.|||i would try using witch-hazel at night after washing your face. It might not reduce them butit will draw any extra oil out of your skin over night|||I was told by my dermatologist that the only effective way of reducing them is the laser treatment you get at the dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon%26#039;s office. It can run about $700.|||best thing you can do is keep hydrated with water.. sweat! (that keeps them cleaned too, remember to rub sweat off with a dry, clean towel!) eat right... (yeh yeh i know i know... www.mypryamid.gov) exercise and keep the pores clean and sanitary by using products that don%26#039;t irritate the skin and remember when toweling dry you use circular motions to remove the dry, dead skin and embedded materials.
there are also tools in case you get dirt embedded into the pores that may be harder to get out... like a hand held suction black head remover or the old manual types: ebay.com has many to choose from...
this is a search for most of the tools available for your use.
http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll鈥?/a>
and using any anti acne products that don%26#039;t clog pores such as oxy pads and cleansing pads.
large pores are a trait or condition of damaged pores due to dirt and diet... shrinking them is only temporary and sometimes shrinkage can damage pores by clogging them up instead of opening them up and releaseing dirt and oils that are part of the natural process.
remember a tight pore isn%26#039;t exactly good.. keep them pores open and keep the natural oils free to flow out the pores and evenly over the flesh.
:D|||What helps me is to wash my face multiple times in the day and reduce the amount of times you touch your face. Pull hair back so it won%26#039;t get in your face, hair and hand ols are BAD!!!!!!!!|||U can use lodradi choornam and Acnovine cream .|||a steaming hot towel, then put ice to on your face after|||It%26#039;s not possible to reduce your pores, but you can help keep them clear with salycilic acid. That%26#039;s the active ingredient in aspirin, which others have suggested. Salycilic acid can exfoliate the inside of your pores, mainly because it can penetrate through the oil they produce (which other exfoliants, like alphahydroxy acids, can%26#039;t). The key is using a product with the correct ph levels for the salycilic acid to work effectively. That%26#039;s why aspirin is not an ideal choice. Also, you need to use the product every day for best results. I really like Paula%26#039;s Choice 2% salycilic acid lotion (it also comes in 1% and in a gel), which you can buy at cosmeticscop.com|||Keep a bowl of cool water in your refrigerator. Splash your face using this water 3-4 times daily, and your pores will shrink, reducing oily skin and leaving you with a healthy glow.|||Its not possible to actually reduce the size but u can it make it appear better temporarily by applying skin tightening face masks. U get a lot of variety these days.usually a mud/clay mask is effective for this. It tightens the skin and the pores will appear smaller. You can also rub an ice-cube on the pores before u go out or apply make-up. Its very effective. Not only does it tighten the pores,it refreshes the face. I have tried it and it works. Hope it works for u.|||EGG WHITE!!! BEAT IT GOOD UNTIL IT BECOMES LIKE A FOAM(MUSSE), APPLY IT ON CLEAN DRY SKIN AND WAIT UNTIL IT DRIES AND HARDENS. THEN WASH UR FACE WITH COOL WATER.

BUT U HAVE TO DO IT AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE AT LEAST FOR A MONTH TO HAVE THE RESULTS STAY FOR LONG.|||use green tea mask|||I guess u can,apply tomato juice once in a day and wash with warm water.
