Brilio.net - Pores are body components in the form of small holes through which oil or sebum produced by the body is channeled to the surface of the skin. But unfortunately, in some people the appearance of the pores on their face can look more open and clearer than in other people. These large and open pores will become clogged more often and result in several skin problems.
Clogged pores themselves are the cause of blackheads and acne. This condition generally occurs in someone who has oily skin. Not without reason, oily skin will have larger pore sizes and excess sebum glands which cause dirt such as dust, dead skin cells, pollution, and makeup residue to stick easily.
If you don't clean it immediately, the dirt will get trapped in the pores of your face and cause blackheads to appear. Moreover, if you rarely clean your face or don't wash it optimally, it will cause dirt that sticks to the surface of the skin to mix with bacteria which results in the appearance of acne.
Clogged facial pores are characterized by the appearance of black spots or white spots on the face, so that the face looks dull. Not only that, the face also feels textured and has an uneven color.
However, there is no need to worry, because there are various ways that can be done to overcome this condition. Starting from getting treatment at a beauty clinic, using skincare products, and using natural ingredients.
Clay mask is a skincare product that can be used to treat clogged facial pores. The reason is that this type of mask will help remove dirt that clogs pores deeply. But unfortunately, you need to spend money first to buy a clay mask. Even though there are natural ways that are no less effective for dealing with one of these facial skin problems, you know.
