I have the world’s largest pores – I use a $3 budget buy that helps reduce them, my real secret is gooey but it works
A WOMAN who claims to have the world’s largest pores has found a solution.
Her beauty remedy comes in the form of a $3 budget buy and she swears it helps reduce them.
A Reddit user has found a way of reducing her pours[/caption]But her real secret is gooey – don’t let that put you off, because this stuff works.
Redditor @fkntiredbtch spilled the beans on her beauty regime in a post on the forum.
She was responding to a plea from another Redditor, desperate for tricks to reduce her pores.
In the post, @fkntiredbtch was brutal in the assessment of her own complexion.
“I have the world’s driest skin and the largest pores and an unmanageable attention span,” she said.
So, to address both issues, she has found a method that works for her.
“I have combined my nightly shower routine with skincare to make it easier,” she wrote.
Every evening she switches the shower on, waits for it to heat up, and starts her skin regime.
“I rub my face, neck, and shoulders with oil until the shower is ready,” she said.
In the shower, she uses a very cheap product that has done wonders for her skin.
“I use a $3 sulfur-based bar soap to wash off,” she said.
Sulfur soap has antibacterial and antifungal properties and has been used to treat acne in the past.
This soap is quite pungent, but many swear by its ability to unclog pores.
Once a week she uses a medicated body wash on her shoulders and face.
The next part of her skincare regime can be messy, she warned, but it was the ace in the pack.

“After I put a light layer of castor oil all over. This is actually the real secret,” she wrote.
But stick to the process, she advised, because this stuff worked.
“It’s gooey and gross but it works,” she said encouraging others to try it out.
“After the oil, I put Nivea Creme on everywhere to make the castor oil tolerable,” she said, rounding up her pore treatment.
She managed to convince commenters to the post to give it a go.
“Awesome. Great routine,” one person said.
