For over 20 years, I have worked as a natural herbalist and consumer educator on natural products. I have also done extensive research in the biologically active ingredients in natural products. I am dedicated to providing consumers with information they can use to make more intelligent purchases.
Here are some tips to get smaller pores from home and without spending a lot of money:
Tip #1: The Icey Hot Way: Steam your face to open your pores. Fill a basin with extra warm water. Make sure the water is not too hot. Hold your face over the basin for 1-3 minutes. Then, grab a washcloth and drench it in lemon juice. Place the washcloth firmly on your face for 1 minute. Then rinse your skin with warm water. Lemon juice contains enzymes that tighten and firm the face and purify and brighten the skin. Lemon particularly has the ability to cleanse and shrink the appearance of pores. Lastly, apply ice cubes to your face. Place the ice cubes gently along your pores for 15-30 seconds. This will have a tightening effect on your skin.
Tip #2: Regenerate and firm your collagen to tighten your pores. Apply fresh aloe vera gel mixed with 2 egg whites to your face. Allow to sit on your face for 10-15 minutes or until dry. Rinse with warm water. This will also shrink your pores.
Also, you can use pore reducing products. I have always been plagued with big pore and big pores equal big acne. To my dismay, few skin care companies cater to big pores beyond Neutrogena’s pore refining products. Recently, however, I stumbled across Beauty 4 Ashes ® “U Big Pore Baby”™ system. This system, although priced at $54.99, works wonders for large pores and feels great on the skin. An additional boon for the system is that it is completely all-natural.
Let me say that I am not a natural product fanatic, I use what works. However, for an all natural product to produce the same quality results as comparatively priced synthetic products, such as Philosophy or Proactiv, I have to give it thumbs up. The system includes a pore refining sugar scrub, a pore tightening citrus toner, and an Aloe Vera repair serum. I loved the fragrance, most likely an effect of the essential oil ingredients, and I saw significant results within 60 days.
The Magic Ingredients
The “U Big Pore Baby” ™ system contains citrus fruit essential oils that naturally penetrate and cleanse pores while also tightening them. Sounds too good to be true? Not really. An essential oil packs more power than most chemically created acne solutions. Plus, most citrus fruits are natural diuretics, which detoxify the skin while also firming it. Additionally, citrus fruits are packed with Vitamin C and collage rebuilding minerals. Vitamin C is actually a skin lightener. Remember how Vitamin C lightened the eyes of individuals with scurvy or jaundice? Not to mention, the “U Big Pore Baby System”™ also includes Emu Oil, Lavender, and the natural form of salicyclic (BHA), which is white willow bark. These ingredients alone are effective to reduce acne, refine pores, and remove scars. Some individuals even sell Emu Oil separately for $35 because of its renowned effect on the skin.
Is it for you?
Well, that is a personal decision. The company is professional. Their products are chock full of great ingredients and their prices are comparative to what you expect to spend for a quality acne or pore refining product. In fact, their prices may be under priced, considering they are made from all natural ingredients. Within one week, I noticed that my skin was softer, more clear, and firmer. By two weeks, many of my dark spots had begun to fade and my pores were unclogged and stay unclogged. By three weeks, my pores had definitely reduced in size.
