Brilio.net - Apart from being dull, the problem of enlarged facial pores is also a quite disturbing facial skin problem. How could it not be, this condition will make the face less smooth and appear textured. Even the makeup results are less than flawless. Of course this can reduce self-confidence.
Actually, facial pores have an important function to keep the face moist and supple. The reason is that pores are a place where sebum or natural oil from facial skin comes out. However, excessive sebum production can actually clog and cause enlarged pores.
Pores can be blocked by dirt such as dust, accumulated dead skin cells, makeup residue, and other free radicals which will mix with sebum, so that if left unchecked, various other skin problems can also arise, such as acne and blackheads. Therefore, if you want to shrink facial pores, you have to clean clogged pores first.
One effort you can make is to use natural ingredients. Don't use a lemon mask, because lemon has a high acid content, so it can risk irritating the skin. Another solution, you can follow the method shared by the owner of the TikTok account @healthyhanan on May 26 2023. In the 18 second video, the account owner shares how to reduce the size of facial pores with just 2 kitchen ingredients. The kitchen ingredients in question are egg white and cornstarch.

Egg whites are a good source of protein for body health and brain intelligence. According to Healthline, egg whites contain vitamins and minerals needed to improve brain and nerve function. Even so, it turns out that egg whites also have various benefits for skin health and beauty. One of its benefits is to shrink pores that appear enlarged.
This is because egg whites can be used as a natural exfoliator, which can remove dead skin cells, excess oil, dust and dirt that clog pores, causing the pores to appear larger. Meanwhile, you can also use cornstarch to treat large pores.
This is because flour derived from corn has a slightly rough texture, so it can work effectively as an exfoliator to remove remaining dirt and sebum that clogs pores. The oil-absorbing properties of cornstarch will control excess oil and make the skin smoother, and facial pores appear smaller.
