There are a few natural ways to minimize pores, what worked best for me was using tomatoes. You need to use it on a daily basis or at least a few times a week (the blend can be stored for about a week in the fridge if it's properly sealed). Prepare the blend by slicing a tomato, then juice and de-seed each half into a bowl/ food processor. Peel off the skin of each half and add the tomato's insides to the seeds & juice. Mash the skinless tomato halves or blend them in the food processor. Wash your face with warm/lukewarm water and carefully pat dry. Then apply the tomato's blend to your face, quickly (obviously, avoid the eyes & mouth area). Wait for ten minutes and rinse it off with some warm water. Finish with a rinse of cool water too, to close off the pores. Then use moisturizer to finish it off. * Try adding a tablespoon of oatmeal to soak up the excess oil if you have oily skin. * Try adding a tablespoon of natural unflavored yogurt for an extra boost of moisture if you have dry skin.
