9 Natural Masks for Reducing Large Pores

Large pores can be caused by a few different factors including genetics, heredity, disease and health condition of your body and skin. The diet you choose can also add to a problematic large pore problem. However, there are ways to help reduce the pores so that your skin looks healthier, younger and smoother. With large pores, your skin can absorb more oils and toxins which can also add to acne and other skin problems. Here are some tips for homemade masks for reducing large pores.

1. Create a mask by combing a teaspoon of oatmeal and a teaspoon of lemon. Add enough water to make a paste that you can smooth over your skin. Apply the mixture to your face and let sit for about 15 or 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water and then pat dry. Do not rub your skin to dry it.

2. Make a paste using one egg and mix it with a teaspoon of powdered orange peel.. Gently massage the paste onto your face and let it sit for 15 minutes. Wash gently with cool water and pat dry.

3. Mix one teaspoon of ground almond with water until it makes a thick paste. Spread the paste on the skin and leave for 20 minutes. Gently rinse and pat dry.

4. A little table salt and buttermilk can make a great paste. Leave it on the face for about 20 minutes and then rinse with warm water.

5. Caution: do not use this if you have blemishes or other problems with the skin. Mix together milk, a little bit of lemon juice and oatmeal. Once it is the right consistency, spread it evenly on the face and let set for 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water.

6. Pick up some gray clay (make sure it’s cosmetic clay) and make a mixture with it using 2 teaspoons of the clay and a teaspoon of rose water. Add a teaspoon of an astringent and massage into the skin. Let it sit and dry for about 20 minutes and then rinse with cool water.

7. Combine together a teaspoon of honey, a teaspoon of orange juice and a teaspoon of lanolin to make a paste. Apply the mask to your face and leave on for about 15 minutes or until it dries. Rinse gently with warm water.

8. This mask mixture is great if you have combination skin such as dry and oily. Mix together the yoke of one egg and a few drops of lime juice. Apply the mask to your face and let dry for a few minutes. Rinse the mixture off with warm water and gently pat dry.

9. For better overall health and look of your skin, try to avoid any products with harsh chemicals in it. Be careful using strong astringents as well. And if you have oily skin, make sure that you do not use a lot of lotions or makeup that includes a lot of oils. It is possible to still have great looking skin with large pores.
