Hating Open Pores

Whatever your age, anyone can develop open pores. It really is irritable and uncomfortable to see them in front of the mirror. Ahh, it gives you that low self-esteem. 

The facial pores then open to allow the oil and the dirt inside. Insufficient face washing causes open pores, leading to oily skin containing some dirt. eeW! Contributing factors that can cause open pores include aging, genetics, sun damage, lack of sleep, hormonal changes, improper diet, make-up and puberty

What I do to close my open pores?I use ALUM.
Alum is used as an ingredient in skin whitening toner. Alum's has a strong antibacterial property.

In my research, they said that it is very effective and economical too, which i strongly agree.

I have an oily skin so,  Alcohol and alum tonner is very effective. Add 1 teaspoon of alcohol and ½ teaspoon of alum in 100 ml of distilled water. Store it in a fridge as this will not only help increase the shelf life of the tonner but also act as a refreshing agent when you are warm and sweaty. :)
