Brilio.net - Everyone has different types of facial pores. However, people with oily skin types tend to have larger pores than people with other skin types. Pores have sebaceous glands under the surface of the skin that produce sebum to maintain moisture.
The amount of oil production varies from person to person. Excessive sebum production triggers various problems with oily skin, such as the appearance of enlarged and open pores. This can make it easier for dirt to stick and enter the skin , which ultimately causes blockages.
As a result, acne, blackheads, irritation and so on can form. To overcome these skin problems, you can use various natural ingredients that are often found in everyday life. One of them is by using honey mixed with lime as shared by @betha.beauty_health on TikTok which was reported by briliobeauty.net on Thursday (14/3).

This fruit has a sour and fresh taste, and is often used as an additional ingredient in cooking, drinks, or as a natural ingredient in skin care.
In skin care, limes are rich in citric acid, which has natural astringent properties. These astringent properties can help narrow skin pores by stimulating tissue contraction. It doesn't stop there, the citric acid content in lime can also help remove dead skin cells that can clog pores.

The Vitamin C content in lime is good for antioxidants. These antioxidants can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and UV rays, which can worsen the appearance of large pores. Apart from that, lime can be used as a natural antibacterial which helps clean germs that cause inflammation on the skin.
Even though it has a multitude of benefits, using lime directly on the skin is not permitted because it contains high Ph so it can cause allergic reactions in some people.
