Individuals with oily or extremely oily skin types often have problems with enlarged pores. In many cases, skin pores look enlarged because they are clogged with sebum and dead skin cells. If they are ignored they become white heads or blackheads. People who have large skin pores often have tiny while heads covering their entire nose. If these white heads are removed, the pores return to their normal size. However in a few cases, the pores are actually larger, in which case, there is absolutely nothing that can tighten them permanently.
Once your face pack has dried completely, wash it off with cold water. Do not use warm water to wash the face pack off as this will dissolve the sebum trapped within the pack and allow it to spread over your skin once more. Once the pack is completely washed off, add a few drops of lemon/lime to a bowl of very warm water and rinse your face well. The warm water will open up your pores and allow the lemon/lime juice to dissolve any remaining sebum. Clean and cut a small piece of carrot, cucumber and onion. Grate the pieces and apply it to your face. The carrot and cucumber have natural astringent qualities and the grated onion will help to reduce scars. Keep the mixture on for at least 20 minutes and then wash it off with cold water. If you have extremely oily skin, you can add a few drops of lemon/lime juice to this last rinse to prevent excess oiliness. Do this at least once a week for a deep cleansing as this will prevent the build up of sebum. Use the face scrub every alternate day to keep your skin oil free.
