My pores are huge no matter what I do they don't shrink. I clean my face, morning and night, moisterize, exfoliate, everything! Anyone know a good product or natural remedy for quick and efficient results?

Try using your face wash with freezing cold water that should help shrink them :) x

I'll try that! Thank you! Any other suggestions? I'm desperate. They're so big my face looks like they're covered in blackheads.

Well, you can't actually shrink your pores, just minimize their appearance by doing what your doing, splashing your face with cold water before getting ready, using a primer underneath your foundation, etc.

I'm always using hot water so maybe that's what's wrong

Also try regularly using a clay based face mask this will help tighten pores and reduce oliyness which causes open pours x

@Aubrey, still wash you face in warm (not hot) water. just give your face a quick splash of cold water afterward, or before getting ready (: & yes.. clay masks are awesome for pores. I use mine about once a week.

It's actually a myth that you can shrink pores. You can temporarily minimize the appearance of pores by putting cold water on your face. A toner with witch hazel can also make them appear smaller. Also a silicone primer is used to fill in lines and pores so you can try that before foundation.

I'm kind of afraid of drug store products. Idk why I trust higher end products more. Does that mask really help not break you out at all?

Agree with everyone else's advice lol. & on the fact you can't actually shrink them, just minimize their appearance :)

Use a good 15-30 sunscreen also. Sun damage can cause pores to enlarge.

I've tried a lot of masks and so far this is my absolute favorite it's amazing, you can Google it for a ton of reviews.

Exfoliate! No more than twice a week. all these masks provide exfoliation.

After washing your face you can melt a chunk of ice on your face by massaging it there.
