Brilio.net - Blackheads are a facial skin problem that can interfere with appearance, making the face look less smooth and rough textured. Usually, blackheads appear in the T-zone area, namely the forehead, nose, and chin, due to clogged dirt in the pores. The skin pores actually function to secrete sebum which keeps the skin supple, moist, and healthy.
However, excessive sebum production can clog pores, causing them to enlarge, and causing dull skin and the appearance of blackheads and acne. In addition, enlarged pores can also be caused by decreased elasticity of the skin around the pores, which often occurs in sagging or aging skin.
To shrink pores and remove blackheads, it is important to clean your face regularly. Natural ingredients can also be used as a face mask to help shrink and clean clogged pores.

Rice flour is usually used to make traditional snacks and fried food coatings to make them crispier. Not only useful as a food ingredient, rice flour is also efficacious for beauty. One of them is to shrink pores while cleaning them deeply.
This flour, which comes from rice, is mostly made up of starch that is able to bind water and stabilize fat. Rice starch is often found in commercial skincare and haircare products. This is because of its ability to absorb oil and reduce the appearance of large pores.
Egg whites are also widely used to treat large pores and clean the dirt that is clogged in them. Because egg whites can be used as a natural exfoliator that is believed to be able to remove dead skin cells, excess oil, dust, and dirt that clogs pores.
This is no exception to aloe vera gel, which has astringent properties so it is believed to be able to help absorb excess oil from the skin. So that the pores will not be easily clogged and free from blackheads.
