"Hi, my name is Teri and in this segment, we're going to talk about how to minimize your pores. Now it's important to realize why some parts of our face have larger pores on them than others. Now sometimes it's hereditary, sometimes if we had excess acne when we were younger, that can cause larger pores in certain areas. But often, for most of us, it's because we have extra dirt or oil in those areas and that's where it tends to collect, usually in around the nose area, or the forehead, and sometimes the jaw line and chin area. That's where you're going to see the larger pores. There's literally hundreds, if not thousands of products on the market that will help with pore minimizing. Now some of them range from very inexpensive to quite expensive. I'm going to go over a couple of options with you. Now of course, this is a standard thing you should be using every day. It's a toner. Now you can get it with alcohol, or alcohol-free. If you have quite dry skin, stay away from an alcohol based product, use an alcohol-free toner. Then we also have the pore minimizing daily facial wash, and that comes in a lot of different brands and products. Usually that has some sort of scrub in it and that just cleans out those pores to try to get them to shrink down, get the oil and dirt out. We also have pore strips, minimizing strips. Those come with a lot of different brands carry those. They usually fit around your nose or forehead area. When you peel them off, it takes the dirt that's been in those pores. Pulls 'em right out. And then, you could also invest in a cheap, or expensive if you choose, micro-dermabrasion kit at home. Those are all the rage these days and they really do work. Use them once a week, and you will see a result within four to six weeks of minimizing of your pores. Now, if you want to use a product, just straight from the kitchen, don't want to spend any money, egg whites. You whip up your egg whites from an egg, just put it on your face like a mask. Let it sit and dry, wash it off. You do that once a week, you should notice an improvement in your pores as well."
