Brilio.net - Every woman probably dreams of a facial appearance with smooth skin with a smooth texture. A smooth face really makes you look more beautiful. Even when using makeup, the makeup product is able to stick perfectly. Sometimes problems such as enlarged pores make those dreams fail. This is because enlarged pores make facial skin look rougher and more gradient.
Not only that, skin with enlarged pores is at risk of experiencing other problems, such as acne and blackheads. The cause can be triggered by excessive sebum production. Sebum is a natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands beneath the surface of the skin.
Excessive sebum production can cause clogged and enlarged pores. Apart from being caused by oil, dead skin cells that accumulate on the surface of the skin also have the risk of clogging pores.
Looking at the factors above, you need to clean your face regularly so that the pores become smaller. How to clean it is quite easy, you can use cleaning products or apply a mask made from natural ingredients .
This treatment was also carried out by a woman named Nasya. By uploading a short video on his YouTube channel @nasyarazeta2022, he made a mask from one type of food, namely cucumber combined with rosewater.
Cucumber contains a large amount of water, so it can have a refreshing effect on the skin. This helps keep the skin hydrated and can provide a refreshing cooling sensation. Cucumbers contain anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce inflammation of the skin.
This can be beneficial for reducing redness and inflammation associated with enlarged pores. The flavonoid and antioxidant content in cucumber can help increase skin elasticity and tighten enlarged pores.
Rosewater has properties that can balance the skin's pH, helping keep the skin healthy and reducing excess sebum production. Rosewater is rich in antioxidants which can protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and help repair cell damage. Rosewater has gentle cleansing properties, helping to clean pores and remove dirt and excess oil from the surface of the skin.
