Brilio.net - Having a naturally glowing, smooth and bright face is still a dream for most people. But unfortunately, getting a face like that is not easy, because it requires consistency, effort and proper care. This is because the face is one part of the body that is susceptible to problems, because it has thin skin and is susceptible to exposure to free radicals.
Some common facial skin problems experienced by most people are acne, blackheads, dull skin, and enlarged pores. In fact, pores are an important component that functions as a place for sebum or the skin's natural oil to come out. This sebum will play a role in maintaining facial skin's moisture and suppleness.
But unfortunately, due to lack of care and rarely cleaning your face, your pores become susceptible to being clogged with dirt . This clogged dirt will mix with sebum and turn into blackheads, causing the size of facial pores to enlarge. Some dirt that might clog facial pores are dead skin cells, pollution, and makeup residue.
As a solution, you can use a mask made from natural ingredients. As shared by the owner of the TikTok account @riyariyasia05 on January 16 2023, who not only uses oatmeal to shrink enlarged pores, but also adds 1 type of fruit. The fruit in question is an orange . This concoction also uses another ingredient, namely honey.

Oatmeal is a substitute for rice which is rich in fiber and various vitamins. It's not surprising that this food ingredient is widely consumed to maintain body health and control blood sugar.
Even so, oatmeal also has a multitude of benefits for shrinking facial pores. Quoted from Healthline, oatmeal contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which are good for the skin.
It turns out that the saponin content in oatmeal can be used to shrink pores on facial skin. You can use saponin in oatmeal to clean clogged pores that cause blackheads. Regular use of an oatmeal mask will help open pores and give you smooth and clean skin.
Meanwhile, you can also use oranges as a citrus fruit that can help tighten facial pores. The astringent properties, vitamin C and citric acid in oranges can remove dirt that clogs pores. Honey is no exception, which is believed to be able to moisturize facial skin and overcome the problem of large pores.
The reason is that honey can be used as an exfoliator for the face which will help clean pores clogged by dirt such as oil, dead skin cells, dust and dirt. Honey can also help shrink pores and stimulate the growth of new skin cells.
