Ice, Ice Baby

Many a makeup artist will tell you that icing the face before applying makeup keeps it looking fresh and makes it last longer. For pores too, ice works fabulously. It causes pores to shrink and reduces any kind of swelling. Give your face a quick once over with ice, preferably wrapped in a thin cloth to get a flawless base for your makeup.

Mud Slinging

We have raved about the benefits of multani mitti or Fuller’s earth for skin. And you can use it to keep errant pores under control as well. Fuller’s earth pulls out the excess oil from the pores and removes dirt from them. Make a paste with multani mitti and rose water, apply to your skin, and wash off. Your pores won’t stand a chance.

Turmeric To The Rescue

It was all yellow! But only for a bit. Turmeric has been gaining a lot of love for being super skin-friendly, and with good reason. You can use this to shut down all the excessive pore action. Mix turmeric powder with milk or rose water, apply to areas with large pores, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and wash off.

Gram On

This kitchen ingredient works like magic for skin. Gram flour tightens skin and puts all the pores out of action revealing beautiful, supple skin. You’ll need to mix this with yoghurt, make a mask and wait for it to do its thing. Your skin will thank you for it. Don’t forget to generously moisturise after.
