Brilio.net - Pores are small holes that act as a place for the skin's natural oils or sebum produced by the body to come out. In some people, the appearance of the pores on the face can be more open and appear larger than in other people. These large, open pores generally often become clogged and result in some quite disturbing skin problems.
Many factors cause this condition, including excess oil due to hormonal changes, dry skin conditions, buildup of dead skin cells, or dirt such as dust and makeup residue that sticks below the surface of the skin. Facial pores that are clogged due to dirt are characterized by the appearance of black spots or white spots on the face, called blackheads, so that the face looks dull.
One of the main causes of acne is oily skin and clogged pores. Not only does it cause acne and blackheads, pores clogged with dirt will also make your face less smooth and have a rough texture. There are various ways you can remove blackheads and clogged pores. Starting from getting treatment at a beauty clinic, using blackhead removal products or known as pore packs, using face scrubs, and using natural ingredients.
One of the natural ingredients most often used to clean clogged pores is oatmeal.
