Q: The pores on my face are so big, therefore, my face gets so oily. I wash my face 2 times a day. About an hour after I put on my makeup after I washed my face, my face gets oily and my make up wears off. My make up is OIL FREE too. What home remedies that work for you would you suggest to me to tighten and reduce the size of my pores and to eliminate excess oil? Don't give me that stupid google bar, I've tried google.
Use a good toner. You can get the kind that specifically tightens pores.

As for home remedies, I generally make a kind of toner out of dilluted witch hazel, rosewater, and a smidge of rubbing alcohol. Also, moisturizing with Aloe Vera Gel (not the kind that comes in pump-bottles for sunburn.. this kind is pure aloe you can also use internally for heartburn/upset stomach. You can get it from health/natural food stores). You take the gel and blot (not wipe) over your face gently with a tissue/cotton ball.

Also, wait about half an hour after you use astringent/toner on the face to give your pores time to close BEFORE you put your makeup on.

Thanks
