Oct 5, 2009

Large pores are the product of genetics, but there is a very easy and inexpensive natural face mask you can make at home to reduce the appearance of large pores.

There are several expensive beauty products in the market that promise to tighten your skin, reduce the appearance of large pores, and leave you looking years younger. The truth is that you do not need to spend much money at all. You probably have all the ingredients in your own kitchen that will accomplish exactly what the expensive products promise to do for a fraction of the cost.

Gather Your Ingredients

You will be making a face mask using egg whites, honey, and lavender essential oil. Most of these ingredients can be found at your local grocery story. Look for organic options to reduce contamination from pesticides or other chemicals. If you can not find the lavender essential oil at your local grocery store, try looking in a health food store. The egg whites will tighten your large pores and give your face a temporary lift. Honey is a great moisturizer, and it is a natural antibiotic. Lavender is known to calm the system, and it is a natural antiseptic.

Mixing Your Egg White Face Mask

Crack the egg and separate the white from the yolk. Place the egg white in a small bowl, add 1 teaspoon of honey, and one drop of lavender essential oil. Mix the ingredients with a fork until well blended.

Wearing the Mask

Wash your face with a mild cleanser. Apply your egg white face mask with your fingers, starting with your forehead and working your way down, paying careful attention to the T-zone, which is the forehead, nose and chin. These are the areas where large pores typically appear. Be sure not to get any of the mask into your eyes. If you do, rinse immediately with water. Wear the face mask for 10 to 15 minutes and then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Pat your face dry and apply a moisturizer.

Tips and Warnings

If you have sensitive skin, try a small part of the egg white face mask on your arm or on a small area of your cheek to see if you have a reaction. If you do, you should not apply the mask to your whole face. No product, no matter what it claims, can actually shrink pores. What the egg white face mask does is temporarily tighten the skin and gives the appearance of smaller pores. You can use this mask to help reduce the appearance large pores at least once a week. You might even see an improvement in acne due to the honey's antibiotic and lavender essential oil's antiseptic properties. Lavender essential oil can be toxic if ingested and is for topical use only.
