Brilio.net - Dirty pores are the beginning of various skin problems, such as blackheads and acne. Dirt, excess oil, and makeup residue that accumulates in them can clog pores , trigger inflammation, and eventually cause acne . Although this problem can be overcome in various ways, the scars left behind - especially by acne, are sometimes difficult to remove and can interfere with appearance.
It is no wonder that many people are trying to find a solution to clean their pores deeply and reduce the risk of acne scars. One of the most popular methods is to use peeling products. This product works by removing dead skin cells and dirt that clogs the pores, so that the skin looks cleaner and brighter.
However, not all types of peeling are suitable for every skin type. Improper use can actually irritate the skin or even worsen existing conditions. Therefore, many people are looking for other alternatives to overcome these skin problems.
There are indeed many ways that can be done, including using a mask like what Instagram user @sendymoza did. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to using a natural mask to get rid of blackheads and acne scars at once. Well, the natural ingredient used is oatmeal.

Oatmeal is known as a natural ingredient that is beneficial for skin care, especially in treating acne scars and cleaning pores from blackheads. The saponin content in oatmeal functions as a natural cleanser that can remove dirt, excess oil, and dead skin cells without drying the skin. By routinely using oatmeal as a mask or scrub, the pores can be cleaned more deeply, so the risk of blackheads appearing is reduced.
Additionally, oatmeal has anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties, which is especially beneficial for those with red or inflamed acne scars. The avenanthramides in oatmeal help soothe irritation and speed up the skin's regeneration process. This makes acne scars fade faster as healthier skin cells are replaced.
Oatmeal also contains antioxidants and beta-glucans that help improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production. With increased collagen production, the skin becomes more elastic and acne scars that previously appeared deep can gradually fade. For more optimal results, oatmeal can be combined with other natural ingredients such as honey or yogurt for a moisturizing and brightening effect on the skin.
