Pores that are not cleaned allow dirt to accumulate and cause facial problems.

Brilio.net - Pores are a component of the skin which function as a place for hair to grow, a channel for sweat to escape and a path for oil or sebum in the skin. But unfortunately, the pores on facial skin can become clogged due to dirt, oil, or a buildup of dead skin cells, which can cause the face to look dull and the texture to become rough.

Clogged pores can occur when oil or dead skin cells become trapped in the openings of the pores. If left unchecked, this can trigger a number of skin problems, such as the appearance of blackheads and pimples that become inflamed and festering. Normally, glands in the skin produce natural oil called sebum.

This sebum will be brought to the surface of the skin through the pores to moisturize the face. Apart from that, the right amount of sebum is very important to protect the skin from the growth of bacteria which causes various skin problems. However, several conditions such as hormonal changes or environmental factors such as hot weather and sun exposure can cause excessive oily skin.

Excess oil, dirt, and dead skin cells that accumulate then cause clogged pores. To minimize the risk of clogged pores, you of course have to maintain good skin hygiene by washing your face regularly. If this has been done, but complaints of clogged pores still arise, you can overcome this by using natural ingredients to help clean the dirt clogged in the pores of your face.

One natural ingredient that most people usually use is oatmeal. Not without reason, oatmeal is a food ingredient that has a somewhat coarse texture, so it can help cleanse pores down to the deepest layers. However, sometimes oatmeal can irritate the skin for some people because it is incompatible with this ingredient.

Another solution, you can see a trick shared by a woman via her personal TikTok account @hairbysarahc5 on April 1 2020, which contains tricks for cleaning clogged pores using only 2 kitchen ingredients. The kitchen ingredients in question are salt and honey.

As a kitchen ingredient that can add a salty and savory taste to food, salt is also widely used for skin care, you know. Especially on facial skin. The benefits of salt for the face are obtained thanks to its mineral content, such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium and sulfur which are believed to be effective for maintaining healthy skin.

Not only that, salt also has a rough texture, so it can be used as a facial scrub. Salt scrubs will help remove dead skin cells and dirt that accumulate on the surface of the skin.
