Brilio.net - Many people do not realize how important it is to keep their pores clean for the health and appearance of their skin. Pores are small holes on the surface of the skin that function to release oil and sweat from the sebaceous glands and sweat glands. Although important for maintaining skin temperature and moisture, pores can become a problem when they enlarge.
What causes pores to change size? In addition to age factors that affect the elasticity of pores, excess oil production mixed with dirt and dead skin cells is the main cause. When this happens, the pores enlarge because they have to accommodate more, so they tend to get clogged with dirt and oil, which can then cause skin problems such as blackheads and acne.
Those of you who experience this problem don't need to panic. Because, there are many natural ingredients out there that you can use as an alternative solution to overcome the problem of excess oil. One of them is using a mixture of egg white and sugar as reported by briliobeauty.net from Instagram @miss_zeenat25 on Sunday (8/12).

Egg whites contain a high protein component, namely albumin. Albumin functions as a natural tightening agent on the skin. This component can help tighten pores and reduce excess oil production, thereby reducing the risk of clogged pores. In addition, egg whites also contain lysozyme, a natural enzyme that helps fight bacteria and reduce inflammation of the skin.

The rough texture of sugar can be used as a natural exfoliant to help remove dead skin cells that clog pores. This means that sugar is an effective alternative ingredient for cleaning and minimizing pores. In addition, sugar also helps increase blood circulation to the skin, promotes the regeneration of new skin cells, and makes the skin look fresher.
Well, you can see instructions for using the two ingredients above below.
