Who doesn’t have large pores? It’s not just a bane of those with oily skin, even with an oily T-zone, you could be prone to it. Sometimes these crater-like pores gather dust and grime and make the skin on your face look uneven and lack luster. No matter how hard you try, these pores, far from shrinking and disappearing, are easily noticeable to anyone who talks to you from a closer proximity.
Cosmetics for tightening pores are not half as effective, as you may have already realised over the years. Pores just come back and stay there. But there is a home remedy which is the only answer to shutting gigantic pores forever. Just like magic.
Only a couple of ingredients are enough to bid goodbye to large pores, but we list a few more for good measure.
1. Egg white and lemon juice
Take two egg whites and add a couple of drops of lemon juice in a cup. Make a thick paste of it and apply it to your face, mostly the affected areas. Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse your face with cool water. The mask helps remove dead skin cells, extra oil and tightens skin pores.

The lemon juice, in addition to that, acts as an astringent due to its acidity.
