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.

(the bannanas dry up your face leaving it not oily) wash that off with cold water..
for makeup stick with powder makeups.. they dont get oily and they dont cloq your pores and its better for your face.. liquid foundation is really bad for your skin..
changing your pillow case everyday also helps you for not gettin zits and such..
putting your hair up before you go to sleep this way the oils on your hair dont get on your skin..

Erm, A toner could help.
But for during the day with better more advanced make up, to make you look amazing, You can use Bare Minerals, <3 i love it. It also reduces the size of pores, and doesnt make you look so oily. I have the same problem as you. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

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.

♥ These are just little thin pieces of paper that you 'blot' your face with whenever you need, and that should pick up the oil and leave the make-up on.
