Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and amino acids, both of which are effective at reducing the appearance of pore size. Their juice also helps dry up excess oil, which can lead to clogged pores that make them appear larger. It is best to use raw tomatoes since they are still rich in antioxidants and nutrients. However, in the absence of raw tomatoes, commercial tomato juice is an acceptable substitute.

Apply moisturizer to your skin by spreading it on your hands and wiping it on your face with smooth upward strokes.

Repeat the process two to three times per day depending on how much you wish to reduce the appearance of your pores.

Tomato juice can also be used to repair skin damaged by the sun or acne.
