What is a good pore reducing face lotion?

I am 25, and looking for a good pore reducing face lotion. I have medium size pores and would like to shrink them a little bit. Any suggestions that aren't too expensive? Thank you!What is a good pore reducing face lotion?
I've had good success with this product, Picture Porefect...

However, it *is* on the pricier side--$40 at Sephora.





What would really help you in reducing the appearance of pores, and would be a lot cheaper, would be using an exfoliator regularly. With regular exfoliating, you're clearing out the yuck that gets into the pores and makes them appear big and black. Exfoliating with a nice facial scrub helps clear the pores out. I use this one by Lush, and I love it!

Also, using a pressed powder throughout the day on the T-zone where pores tend to be most visible will go a long way in absorbing oil and making pores appear less so.

A loaf of bread has pores in it why?

The yeast used in the baking process makes a gas (don't remember exactly, but I think it maybe C02) and leaves those bubbles.A loaf of bread has pores in it why?
The holes are caused by CO2 gasses being released by the yeast as it consumes the sugar.A loaf of bread has pores in it why?
Yeast in the dough creat air spaces. When baked, the air spaces enlarge due to heat , but the air cannot go out because of the binding charecterestick of the dough. This results in pores in bread.
in the preparation of bread, we use yeast so thet bread must be puffy and taste.....


sugar as carbohydrate source is also added...


yeast as it contains enzyme calles as zymase, invertase undergoes catalytic action on sugar and releases carbon dioxide as byproduct..


this carbondioxide released in form of bubbles....


so we can pores in bread....
those are gas bubbles formed when the bread was rising.
It has pores because the baking soda inside is released as a gas creating the pores.

Will ice cubes make shrink pores?

would it help to shrink pores if i steam my face wit the steamer and soak it wet in ice cold water??? or would it do anything else to my skin??harm it help it?


helpppWill ice cubes make shrink pores?
Yes - you will temporarily shrink your pores %26amp; you will shock your skin too. Sudden temperature changes can lead to broken capillaries - making your skin look ruddy.





Instead try these things:





Clay masks absorb oils %26amp; temporarily tighten pores. Murad makes a good one. Beauty w/o Cruelty's clay mask is a good bargain. Origin's Charcoal clay mask is good too.





Steam facials can help too by clearing out your pores which makes them less noticeable. Here's how to DIY:

Some home remedies:





Crush 4 - 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water to make mask. Or mix them with Queen Helene Mint Julep mask or aloe vera gel instead of water. Apply a thin layer to your clean face %26amp; let dry for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off w/ cool water.





Apply a thin layer of plain milk of magnesia, let it dry for 15-20 minutes, rinse off w/ cool water %26amp; a clean wash cloth. Plain milk of magnesia will absorb excess oil %26amp; temporarily tighten pores.





Make a mask of 1/3 cup plain yogurt, 2 tbsp. ground oatmeal, 2 tsp. honey. Apply %26amp; let sit for 15-20 minutes. Yogurt has lactic acid to help removed old skin cells. The ground oatmeal soothes the skin and provides more exfoliation. Honey has anti-bacterial properties %26amp; provides a bit of moisture.Will ice cubes make shrink pores?
i've heard that shrinking pores is impossible since it's genetic, yet i heard and seen of people who at least ';appear'; to have shrunken their pores. they say that keeping the pores clear of stuff makes them appear smaller.
Yeah, I'm afraid another part of puberty is that our skin's texture changes (most of us lose the baby soft, peaches and cream skin) and our pores will become larger. For some, they become very large. I went to see a dermatologist many years ago, thinking that he could do something or give me something to get that soft, pore-free, smooth, beautiful skin I longed to have again. He told me I was stuck with the pores I had. There is no altering or changing pore size, he said!





Who knows what the future holds! I'm sure someday there will be something on the market to change the size of pores permanently, but for now you just have to learn all the tricks of the trade to make them appear smaller. For example, keeping your skin clean and oil free, using clay or pore tightening masks, Clinique has a make-up foundation called Pore Minimizer Makeup (I used it for years and loved it!!!)...





And these days, all the makeup lines seem to carry makeup ';primers';, that you apply to your skin before your foundation. You can use them alone, as well, if you don't want to use foundation. I have been using something lately called ';Velvet Skin Coat';, by a company called ';DHC'; (a Japanese company that bases it's cosmetics and skincare lines on the use of olive oil). I am not one to promote a product or push anything on anyone, believe me! But, this stuff is like *M*A*G*I*C*, I swear it is!!! I've tried any and every product out there at least once (I've had very oily skin all my adult life!) and this product is THE BOMB!!! No kidding!!! It has an amazingly soft (not oily or greasy, at all!) texture and feel to it. It glides on and looks very matte and keeps my face oil free all day long! Best part is, when I put it on, I can actually see the astounding difference in the texture of my skin! It's like a miracle product to me!!! I adore it! My pores, actually, look non-existent. This powdery gel seems to magically fill in any imperfections (pores, tiny lines, the early sign of wrinkles) and almost makes them disappear! And it doesn't cause breakouts and I believe it's non-comedogenic. I know I sound like a commercial! I don't mean to, at all! I don't work for this company and get paid nothing for saying this! It's just that this stuff is extraordinary! I'll copy a link below to this particular cosmetics/skincare company and product. Give it a try, if you feel adventurous! I think you'll love it! And it's only $20, which may sound like a lot of money to some people, but each tube lasts several months long! And I use more than it recommends every morning! Yes! I'm a true fan!!! Anway, good luck with everything!!!!!!!! ; )





Here's the link to the company: www.dhccare.com (I can't sem to get it to be a hyper-link!?) and again, the product is called ';Velvet Skin Coat';!!
the actual pore doesn't shrink. it's impossible.





just use a daily scrub.

  • What is the best pore minimizer that you can find in your local drug store?

    i have slightly big pores on my nose.I heard biore pore minimizing face wash works quite good but i havent tried it out yet.Agree?disagree?What is the best pore minimizer that you can find in your local drug store?

    Let me tell you something not many people know,


    When you try to wash the oil off your wash using soap or


    any store brought product what happends is it sucks up alot of the natural oils


    out of your skin, and what happends when that occurs? your


    skin goes into over time trying to reblimish the lost oil


    and doubles the amount, your pores open up more to get more of the oil out and air in so let me help you





    Ah ok well my mother had the same problem as you,


    and let me tell you what she did to make it stop,


    this is a home treatment of course, the only thing


    you may need to buy is a lemon if you dont already have some in the fridge,


    what you want to do is get some lemon and squeez that


    sucker into a tiny bit of honey, and mix that all together, put that


    into the area where you want treated and wait 5-10 mins and than wash off,


    the lemon works great as a toner and as we all know toners are


    great for tighthing the skin and even better for your pores to look


    smaller, the honey helps as an evener, it will even out the uneven


    skin tone and also sooths the skin,This teachique not only destorys the pimples you already


    have but it also helps prevent them from coming up again,Drinking alot of water


    every day also helps alot :) Well I hope this helps %26lt;3 good luck


    -- Love VanessaWhat is the best pore minimizer that you can find in your local drug store?
    best products i have used so far, for that problem are neutrogena and loreal.try to buy the whole package for pore minimizing remedy.it consist of facial wash,toner and moisturizer.it works best.
    Try Biore. They have alot pore minimizer products and they work pretty good and aren't that expensive.
    Well it really depends what kind of skin you have my cousin is using Clearasil or something like that and there are all so so some patches that you put on like band aids wait for a min then strip them off heard it works miracles but dint know

    Why do i have these pores?

    i don't have the best skin but i don't have terrible acne my face gets like a few really big pores and i don't know how to fix them other than time does any body have ideas to fiz them faster.Why do i have these pores?
    when you exercise, your pores get bigger.


    if you dont wash your face with face wash after you sweat, your pores are going to get cloged and stay big.





    so just remember to clean your pores out when its hot out or after you exercise. and after, use a toner, it helps close them up after you wash.





    just try it for like 2 weeks. you'll see a difference.Why do i have these pores?
    having big pores is genetic





    but the apperence of them is more obvious when they are clogged


    my sure you wash your face but exfoliating it is even more important b/c it will get rid of the dead skin cells





    also use pore strips


    biore deep cleansing pore strips work


    they are the white things you see people but on there noses b/c they take all the clogged junk out of your pores


    you can use them on any part of your face if you want





    biore has a whole line of pore minamizing products





    but technically it is impossible to shrink pore size


    you just have to make them less noticible





    there are other more expensive products you can buy too





    but trust me


    you are noticing them more than everyone else


    so don't freak about them so much
    i know a MIRACLE mask you should try...


    i had big pores too until i used this stuff,


    i got it at Sallys Beauty Supply and the smaller jar [3 oz] was about $2.50


    Queen Helene- Mint Julep Masque


    it smells just like toothpaste, the only bad thing is it might not be good for sensitive skin, cause when i used it, it tingled and burned for about a minute, but then it felt fine!
    I have this awesome thing you have to try!


    http://www.biore.com/usa/products/produc鈥?/a>


    Then get some cotton pads or cotton balls and squirt this on it and wipe ur face with it!


    And it gets a lot of the dirt off!


    it helps me!


    SMILE GOD LOVES YOU! =D
    go to the store and buy ';neutrogena black head scrub'; i swear by it, use it everyday..it has helped rid me of some acne and now i have soft smooth skin and barely ever break out..
    I have big pores too unfortunately but,


    Queen Helene's Mint Masque works wonders!


    It's very cheap for soo much in it.

    If by pores you mean pimples, try a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. But if you really do mean pores, try a gentle pore reducing face wash.
    Maybe it is because you need to clean your face more or maybe even get a new typeof soap or wass cloth that works better for you.
    try neutrogina face wash i think you can get it at bath and body works
    neutrogena have products that help shrink pores
    Methylated spirits. Keep away from the eyes!!!!
    I had no clue that you could even get rid a pores!
    why do you have pores?


    everyone has them!


    its a stage in the teen life. [:


    were all there at some point in time...
    when your done washing your face splash cold water on it to close them
    well cold water tends to close your pores or maybe ice will help too

    How can I shrink my pores? Will tomato juice help? lemons?

    I'm 15 and my face is looking fugly right now because I have a breakout and my pores are way bigger than normal.





    I've never had a breakout before!





    What should I do? I heard that tomatos are good 4 your skin? Is that true? What about lemons?





    THANKSHow can I shrink my pores? Will tomato juice help? lemons?
    Keep your face as clean as you can manage. Personally I've used herbal oils for my skin to prevent acne from growing.





    I've noticed my pores get bigger when I used too much make-up. So that might be a factor.How can I shrink my pores? Will tomato juice help? lemons?
    Natural stuff like aloe vera and cucumber can help clear up your skin and promote its health.





    I personally use a very gentle cleanser such as the ones from Vichy USA, along with their Normaderm Anti-Imperfection line to help treat my noticeable pores, acne, and scars.





    The best way to fight them is the basics: Cleanse twice a day, exfoliate once every other day, and use a moisturizer with sunscreen!
    i heard lemon juice is good...i use it every morning and night followed by a good moisturizer. n i use a toner before i use th lemon juice to tighten the skin =)
    lemons will dry the face out.


    just use clean%26amp;clear with minerals its helpful for blackheads and whiteheads soon enough you will have a more smooth and clean, pore-free complextion.
    heat helps.


    also, the sun clears up your face.
    I bought Acne Free and my face is basically flawless.. No joke :D
    well there is various things first of all wash your face everyday and try proactive ?
    Yes
