Overview

Large pores can occur as a result of squeezing whiteheads or blackheads. They can also become visible if excess oil production is causing the pores to expand and release the oil, which can occur during puberty, pregnancy and menopause. Large pores can be unsightly and difficult to hide, and many products that claim to get rid of them actually irritate the skin. It is possible to reduce the appearance of large pores at home using simple and natural ingredients.

Apple Cider Vinegar Facial

Step 1

Extract the juice of one cucumber by using a juicer. You can also puree the cucumber using a blender or food processor, and then strain the juice from the puree.

Step 2

Add 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar to the cucumber juice and mix them together thoroughly in a bowl.

Step 3

Apply the mixture to your face and allow it to dry for approximately 10 minutes. Rinse it away with cool water. The cucumber juice exfoliates your skin while the vinegar acts as a toner and shrinks your pores. Rinsing with cool water tightens your pores.

Almond Facial

Step 1

Pour 1/2 cup of almonds into a plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to crush the almonds into a fine meal, and then pour the meal into a bowl.

Step 2

Add water to the almond meal until it forms a thick paste.

Step 3

Apply the mixture to your face and rinse it off with cool water after 20 minutes. Almond can improve the skin's elasticity, shrinking pores and making it firm.

Tomato Facial

Step 1

Mash a large tomato using a fork, or extract the juice of a tomato using a juicer.

Step 2

Rub the tomato paste or juice onto your face.

Step 3

Rinse the tomato away with cool water after 20 minutes. The tomato will dry up excess oil on your skin, pulling it from the pores and making them smaller.
