Hi everyone,

Do you struggle with large pores? There are a couple simple treatments to reduce the appearance of your pores that you can make easily at home. I’ve found success with both of these methods, and hope they will help you too! Here they are:

1. DIY Clay Mask

Remember my kitty litter mask tutorial (yes, kitty litter)? It works!! Kitty litter is made of bentonite clay, a natural substance formed from volcanic ash. It’s highly absorbent, known for its detoxifying ingredients, and when it dries on your skin, it is incredibly effective at tightening up your pores. Here’s a refresher on how to make it:

2. DIY Egg White Treatment

You can also use egg whites to treat large pores. Just beat a few egg whites until they are frothy and apply the stuff on your face. Wait for the treatment to dry (you’ll be able to tell by how it feels and tightens on your skin), and rinse. That’s it!

Your skin is going to love you!

What’s the wackiest mask you’ve ever applied? Share in the comments below!

i am not really a mask wearer though i am finding some and starting to use them more now. I got this one from lush that smells of weetabix - it's called something like oaticake or something - i dunno look it up. it smells great but the thought of putting cereal on my face is odd. 

Out of interest how do you know if you have large pores? 

I actually wouldn't put cat litter on my face.. thats disgusting!! but I might just try the egg white one :D Thankss

My favorite mask for clearing skin is a mixture of regular aspirin and honey. Just take 3 or 4 aspirin pills, add a few drops of water, and mash them as they disintegrate. Add a few drops of honey and apply to your face for 10 to 20 minutes. Works like magic!

I saw the kitten and thought perhaps it was a pun, as in 'large paws' when in fact the kitty had little paws smiley-laughing.gif

Hi! This is so informattive. Thanks Michelle. You're so generous to share all this. Some women keep their beauty secret because they want to stand out more than others, but you're not. You're so kind.

I also have some spots can you help me get rid of it too? I live in Philippines and i think the weather here makes Filipina skin dry and have big pores.

 

I ASKED FOR A PORE VIDEO AND FOUND ONE THANX!!!

I love the egg white facial.. I use it with my mom a lot (I am 16) ^.^ we love it. And I have REALLY sensitive skin so this doesn't irritate it. Thank you Michelle for your beauty wisdom.

Stay Positive,

Tika <3

P.S. You and my mother have the same name! ^.^
