Have you ever looked in the mirror, gotten up close and realized that your pores looked bigger than usual? Sometimes your skin overproduces oil and that can result in pores becoming clogged or blocked, making them appear larger than they normally do. You may notice, it gives your skin an all-over dull appearance, rather than the taut and dewy look you’re after. If you’re yearning to get those pores back to a smaller state and bring back that natural, healthy glow – how about checking out a few pore refining masks you can make at home? Here’s a roundup of some of the best DIY masks out there.

Ingredients:
Egg White
Lemon Juice
Process:
#1. Just beat the egg white and lemon juice until thick and then apply it to a thoroughly cleansed face, avoiding the area around your eyes and lips.
#2. Allow it to dry completely. It is usual to feel a tightening and pulling sensation whilst it dries.
#3. To remove the mask, just rinse using tepid (not hot) water and finish the process by gently rubbing an ice cube over your skin.
#4. If you have blemishes, you could add a teaspoon of honey to the mixture as it is very healing for your skin.
#5. To make a mask that will also gently exfoliate, you could thicken the mask with a little regular oatmeal (choose the fine version rather than the coarse, rolled oats and cook it in the normall way, allowing it to cool before using).
