Brilio.net - Large pores are often a problem for many people because they can make the skin look less smooth and more susceptible to dirt and excess oil. This condition is usually caused by genetic factors, high sebum production, or aging that reduces skin elasticity. As a result, the pores look clearer and are difficult to disguise with regular care.
One of the natural ways that is often used to overcome large pores is a toner made from rice water. Rice water contains various nutrients such as ferulic acid and vitamin E which work as antioxidants to tighten the skin and control oil production. In addition, the natural astringent properties in rice water help shrink the appearance of pores, making the skin look smoother and fresher.
With regular use, rice water toners not only help disguise large pores but also provide brightening and moisturizing effects on the skin. It's no wonder this natural ingredient is a popular choice for those who want healthier skin without having to use harsh chemical products.
But actually, it's not just rice water that can deal with large pores. You can also use other ingredients to make a toner that helps shrink pores. A TikTok user @bbbeauty46 admitted to having used tea.

Brewed tea can be used as a natural toner to shrink large pores because it contains various beneficial compounds for the skin. One of its main ingredients is tannin, a natural compound that functions as an astringent, which helps tighten the skin and minimize the appearance of pores. Apart from that, tea also has a calming effect which can relieve inflammation caused by clogged pores or excess oil production.
Tea, especially green and black tea, is also rich in antioxidants such as polyphenols and catechins that help fight free radicals that cause premature aging. Free radicals can damage skin elasticity and enlarge pores over time. By regularly using tea as a toner, skin becomes firmer and looks smoother.
Now to make a toner from this tea, you can use the method shared by TikTok user @bbbeauty46. Here is the review that has been summarized by briliobeauty.net from TikTok @bbbeauty46, Saturday (3/29).
