How to Close Large Open Pores: The Okra Water Beauty Recipe
If you’ve been struggling with large open pores, you’re definitely not alone. Lots of people want smoother, clearer skin, but those pesky pores just seem to stick around, don’t they? There’s so many expensive products out there, but you can make something simple at home that works surprisingly well. Today, I’m sharing a DIY beauty recipe that’s all over Facebook pages—okra water facial spray!
Why Do Pores Look Large?
Before jumping into the recipe, it helps to know what causes big, visible pores. Here’s some common reasons:
- Oily skin makes pores look bigger
- Dead skin and dirt get stuck in pores
- Aging makes skin less firm, so pores stretch out
- Sun damage weakens skin around pores
If you clean your face right and take care of your skin, pores can look a lot smaller over time.
What’s Special About Okra Water?
Okra (yep, that green veggie!) is more than just something you throw in stew. It’s packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and mucilage—basically, it soothes and hydrates your skin. When you use okra water as a facial spray, you might notice:
- Less oily shine
- Smaller-looking pores
- Skin feels softer and fresher
- Dark spots fade little by little
How to Make Okra Water Facial Spray
It’s actually really easy and cheap to make this spray at home. You just need a few things from your kitchen:

Directions:
- Wash and slice up the okra pods.
- Boil the slices in a cup of water for about 5 minutes.
