Skin care for open pores

If you really want a healthy looking skin then you need to follow a skin care regime strictly. Here are some skin care tips for open pores:

• One of the best treatments for open pores is to avoid astringents or harsh toners on the affected skin.
• Stay away from alcohol based products, which cause the capillaries to dilate and tighten the pores which make them look smaller temporarily. Harsh astringents are well known for increasing the size of your pores by encouraging the oil glands to produce more oil.
• Vitamins are vital in improving your overall health as well as the health of your skin. Some helpful vitamins and minerals are zinc, vitamin A, C, E and B-complex vitamins such as vitamin B6 can be used to support acne treatment.
• Makeup can be used to create an illusion of pore less skin. In order to do so, apply foundation, powder, concealer and blusher in a downward motion. Try to go for an oil free foundation.
• Any vegetable or fruit that has an astringent quality will help smoothen uneven skin texture and reduce open pores.
• Add a few drops of lime juice in to a tomato juice. Apply on open pores for 20 minutes. Wash with cold water.
• The juice or pulp of Pineapple, Peaches and Papaya is very beneficial in the treatment of open pores.
• Always wash your face with cold water after steaming. In humid weather wash the face 2-3 times with cold water.
• Microdermabrasion can also be used to lessen the appearance of the open pores.

Consult your dermatologist for an expert advice. You may need tretinoin also known as Retin-A which will helps unclog pores by loosening your blackheads and helps speed up cell renewal process.
