Brilio.net - Skin problems such as blackheads and acne are problems that are familiar to many people. Often appearing in adolescence, this problem often makes the skin look dull and rough, which will disturb the appearance of anyone who experiences it. But did you know that these two common problems are greatly influenced by the condition and cleanliness of your skin pores?

Pores are part of the oil gland system in the skin which functions to remove oil and sweat from the body. On normal healthy skin, the holes in the pores will generally look small and faint. This is what makes skin with these pore conditions appear so smooth and pleasing to the eye.

However, in fact there are several factors that can cause pores to appear enlarged, you know. One of the reasons why pores can enlarge is the production of excess oil in the skin. This production of skin oil, aka sebum, will basically make the pores open wider than usual.

In the process, dirt, dead skin cells and bacteria on the skin often stick and become trapped in the pore area, making it prone to becoming clogged. As a result, enlarged and clogged pores not only make the skin rough, but also prone to blackheads and acne.

Eits, those of you who are facing this problem don't need to be confused. Apart from now being able to get various skincare products specifically to overcome this problem, you can also rely on the benefits contained in natural ingredients which are no less effective as an alternative solution.

Apart from treating large pores, banana peels are also known to minimize signs of aging on the skin.

This content is an effective component that helps reduce the negative impact of exposure to free radicals and sunlight which damage the skin's skin barrier.

Not only that, banana peels also contain many enzymes that can help stimulate the regeneration of new cells, so that in the process it can smooth and even out the texture of the skin. Banana peels also contain many vitamin compounds which can stimulate collagen production, protect the skin, as well as help maintain moisture so that it can give a youthful impression to the face.
