Google aspirin masks.
I use a watered down version of hydrochloric acid, the same stuff in your stomach, it tightens pores & disinfects broken skin, but before I learned about this stuff, I used a watered down version of white vinegar & water as an astringent. I started with a 10% mix, ie: 1 tsp vinegar & 9 tsp of water. After a while you can get it up to 50%. Doing a little stronger mix each time I mixed it. After cleaning your face with soap, wash & rinse with warm water. Dry well & get all the pimples or blackheads out, then use the vinegar mix & let dry. At first the fumes kind of sting the eyes, but after a while you don't feel it anymore.
Beware acid on the skin! I was a skin care specialist before I got meningitis and ended up crippled. There are a lot of things that temporsrily shrink pores, but eat your skin in the long run. First, do not use soap, as it is the wrong PH for your skin. Choose a cream based cleanser (oil cuts oil) and add a bit of sugar daily. Sugar will not get stuck in pores the way walnut shells, aspirin residue and other commercial grit will, it rinses away.
Baking soda and water makes a mild scrub. Cetaphil and the generics of it make a mild cleanser. You can rub witch hazel on and let it dry as a toner, and use plain old generic milk of magnesia swabbed on in a thin layer as a mask.
