Pores the size of Texas...

… on my nose

how to make them smaller, less obvious?

Use a toner everytime u cleanse u're skin.. apply ice wrapped in a tissue to the area 2 times a day.

Use a pore-shrinking mask once a week.. I like Avons "pore-fection", u may even buy a pore-minimizing gel...

Re: Pores the size of Texas...

already using a clinique pore minimizer and rose water as a toner but I'll have to try find the masks and the ice idea sounds good too

Re: Pores the size of Texas...

Phitkari is 'alum' but it can't be used on all skin-types..

Re: Pores the size of Texas...

It’s called ‘Alum’ in English :slight_smile:

Re: Pores the size of Texas...

how do u know if u have pores...

:/

Re: Pores the size of Texas...

does the toner really shrink pores...I mean even if you have dry skin?

Re: Pores the size of Texas...

what kind of skin alum should be used on?

thanks again :hugz:

everybody has pores on their skin, they’re basically tiny tiny holes through which normally sweat passes but can become clogged with sebum to cause spots or blackheads. normally pores open up in hot steamy environments so look in the mirror after a shower

I read somewhere that alcohol causes the skin to swell and as most toners contain alcohol, they cause the skin to swell around the pore giving the impression that the pore has shrunk but it actually hasn’t

Re: Pores the size of Texas...

yea
nothing shrinks pores and if gina advises you to use baking powder..dont do it. that also opens up pores.

Baking powder is used for removing blackheads.. the ONLY thing that opens-up pores is steam/hot water... if u're prone to large pores omit steaming u're face or taking very hot showers. Chilled water/ice shrinks pores..

Re: Pores the size of Texas...

I have the same problem
