How to Minimize Your Pores

Have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed a lot of blackheads? Have you ever felt like you have such large pores that people can probably see every single one of them on your nose and chin from across the room? SHRINK your pores with this gentle homemade skin toner. If you have dry skin, you may have shied away from pore shrinking astringents in the past, but with this one you don't have to. It's so gentle that any skin type can use it. Large pores run in my family and I never really worried about it myself until recently, when I started to notice that I must have inherited the gene that makes my pores get larger as I get older! Feeling like my pores were already too big and knowing they will probably get bigger based on my relatives, I quickly found this great little remedy and I swear by it! I have dry skin and it doesn't irritate or dry out my skin too much either.

Things You'll Need

• apple cider vinegar
• water
• clean bottle
• cotton balls

Instructions

1. 

   Add equal parts of apple-cider vinegar and water in a clean bowl and mix together.

2. 

   Pour the apple-cider vinegar and water mixture into a decorative glass bottle. Use a funnel if needed to keep from spilling.

3. 

   Shake the mixture well and apply your new healthy homemade skin toner to your freshly washed face using a cotton ball. Let it dry on your face. (Shake before each use).

4. Once toner has dried completely, apply your normal moisturizer.

5. Use regularly and before you know it, you will realize you are no longer feeling self conscious about enlarged pores! You can't change your genetics, but you can keep your pores from getting enlarge by keeping them clean and tight with a daily skin regime that includes washing and exfoliating your skin followed by a pore tightening astringent such as this one.
