shrinking pores

Teez · 05-14-2002, 06:23 PM

anything that you know of that will help me to shrink large pores on my face? Specificaly my nose and cheek area. Also would you suggest using Cal Tan's Suddenly Sun Bronzing Powder. My face doesn't seem to be tanning as well as the rest of my body.

Thanks,

Is your skin normal to oily?
Oily? or combination? We can help you better if we know your skin.

Bronzing powder is very good to use to even out your color..
or a self tanner. (try summer illusion by Caltan).

Teez,

It sounds crazy but after you have finished showering, but before you get out of the shower, run your face and neck under COLD water. As cold as you an stand for about 15-20 seconds.. Sounds crazy but it has worked for me.. Always get in the habit of trying to run cold water on the areas that you find your pore size to be large, especially before applying any makeup, powders or moisturizers. There are a few other tricks to trying to reduce the size of your pores, but try this one first. (you are trying to over come genetics, so don’t expect miracles)

Also you should avoid using abrasive exfoliates. Rather use gentler exfoliation like a soft face cloth and cleaners or natural enzyme exfoliates.

Using a rice based blotting tissue right before appling your make-up will help a bit with the over abundant oil in the areas..or an oil control serum.

Do not use a peel off mask Teez when you have enlarged pores that type of mask seems to cause more problems.

Keep your toner in a spray bottle in the fridge.. Am and Pm spray your face and use 100% cotton pad to blot the toner.

Mixing 1 part witch hazel with 1 part distilled water in your spray bottle( keep in fridge) makes for an excellent pore douche'..

Teez, Caltan's Suddenly Summer powder is excellent! It is all I have used as a foundation for 3 years. I use it year around. Very light and natural looking.
