Brilio.net - Some facial skin problems are caused by dirty pores. In fact, pores should remain clean, so that skin regeneration continues to run well and prevents the growth of acne-causing bacteria.
Pores are actually a component of the skin whose job is to channel sebum or the skin's natural oils. This is an effort to keep the skin moist and supple. But unfortunately, sometimes facial pores appear bigger and dirtier.
Not without reason, this condition is caused by a blockage of dirt. The dirt in question is a buildup of dead skin cells, leftover makeup that has not been cleaned optimally, dust and pollution.
These various impurities will clog pores and cause various skin problems. Such as blackheads, blackheads, and inflamed acne. Even the skin also looks dull, textured and has an uneven color. Well, this dirt will also become a place for the growth of bacteria that cause inflamed acne.
Therefore, you need to take care to clean facial pores. One way is to exfoliate regularly. In the skin cycling method, exfoliation is an important thing that can be done in various ways. Starting from exfoliating with toner and serum, to using exfoliators made from natural ingredients.
You can also remove dirt trapped in facial pores by using a natural mask. As uploaded by a girl via her personal TikTok account @_ayira_, which uses egg whites with the addition of 2 kitchen ingredients. Well, the kitchen ingredients in question are turmeric powder and lemon.
