Vitamin HB | Shrink Your Pores!!

I get so many questions about Pores and believe me, being a makeup artist, I can tell you they are the worst! Personally, large pores are not a huge problem for me because I am crazy about keeping them clean! But if I slack, boy do they start to show, especially since I love wearing makeup so much! Of course washing your makeup off every day before you sleep helps tremendously as well as the occasional facial, but using tomato juice for skin has seriously become one of my favorite remedies for almost everything! I love using tomato to keep skin super tight and pores looking clean and invisible!
I posted a video not too long ago about using tomato juice directly on your face, which helps with everything from tighter pores to scars, pigmentation as well dull skin, but you can also use fresh tomato puree and add a few alterations to make it perfect for your skin type. Keep in mind, if your skin is sensitive, it could react, so test a small area first. Most people might react with a few breakouts if their skin is dry. If you have particularly dry skin, adding the fresh yogurt to the mix to help keep it soft and smooth.
Gentle Tomato Mask For Tighter Pores
1/2 large/medium tomato, seeded
1 tablespoon fresh yogurt
In a blender, puree the tomato to a nice consistency. Mix in the yogurt and smooth the mix all over your skin. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before rinsing with warm water. Follow with your favorite moisturizer.

thank you ,thank you,thank you sooo much for posting this,i have really large pores on my cheeks and it is soo obvious .will definately try this.
Hi Huda,
I love you home remedies & drugstore product of the week section the most. Thank you the lovely tips! However can you please tell us how long one can store this kindda mixture? Im a lazy person & I wonder if you’ve to make this paste everytime you wanna use it or can you refrigerate it for a few days? =)
Honestly I tried the the tomato juice and yogurt for my face that you suggested it looked great after the two times I did it, but the third time I was breaking out, I heard that tomato juice for your skin isn’t good. I do use Yogurt by itself and it is amazing.
Hi Huda,
I have obvious open pores on cheeks too & hate it. I was recently advised that Photorejuvenation helps in improving skin texture & minimizing the appearance of the pores. After doing 2 sessions, I didn’t notice any difference… do you think I should continue with it? Have you done it before? Do you recommend it?
Thank,
Lara
Hey Huda,
How often should we do this? Daily or weekly? I really appreciate it!!
P.S. I’m crazy about your blog! I’ve officially become an addict! Thank you for everything! Mwah
You’re too cute!! It really depends on your skin! I recommend once a week, but if you are able to use it every 3-4 days, then definitely try it! But please first see how your skin reacts! Xxxx
I can’t believe I missed this! Thanks for the tip!
Ignore my last request
