Try out a freezed tomato massage on ur face. It will close your open pores.

Also, every day after bathing, either splash ice-cold water on ur face or rub ice on your face. It will keep your pores closed and will add glow to your face.

hey, i have also lately started using a toner.... does it affect ur skin in any way if u use a toner at younger ages....??

Even if you are young, skin toners are only going to help you. So don't worry

Toners remove all traces of dirt, make-up or cleanser that remain after cleansing. A toner removes excess oil, helps in closing the pores and freshens the skin. Use it directly after your facial wash. In case you don't know, it goes like this CLEANSING-->TONING-->MOISTURIZING

For open pores, you may also try this:
Soak a cotton wool pad in butter milk and pat on the face. Leave the milk for about ten minutes, then wash off with cold water.

Hi Angel.....using toner is a good start. It helps tighten your pores. I've read in an articles that pores is the matter of genetics so you cannot make them smaller extremely, but there are some products that can help u to minimize it. U can use loreal pore minimizer, clinique pore minimizer series, or esteelauder idealist skin refinisher. This products will make your pores less visible n help to tighten it.

Thanks rinda for recommending these products... seem good... will definitely try them
However, for open pores, I would also recommend to steam the face once a week with hot water to which juice of one lime and a teaspoon of rose water has been added. After about 10 minutes fill another basin with warm water. Add about 12 drops of tincture of benzoin to this. Bathe your face with this and then rub ice on the whole face. Pat dry, then apply a little cold cream.
