Topical treatment with natural masks makes pores smaller.

Brilio.net - Skin pores are an important part of the structure of human skin. Pores form small holes on the surface of the skin that function as channels for oil, sweat and hair. When the oil glands (sebaceous glands) under the surface of the skin produce excess oil, this can cause the pores to enlarge.
Not only due to excess oil, enlarged pores are also caused by a buildup of dirt and dead skin cells. This condition causes the skin to be susceptible to various skin problems, such as the appearance of blackheads and acne. Enlarged pores also make your skin look less smooth and tend to have gradients. Usually, facial skin also looks oily and less radiant.
So that these skin problems do not occur, you need to shrink the pores on your face. One of them is regularly cleaning your face, either using cleaning products or topical treatments. For topical treatments, you can use masks made from ingredients around the house.
Usually, apple cider vinegar is often used to shrink pores. This is because it contains Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) which is known to shrink skin pores. However, using apple cider vinegar can actually cause irritation for some people. But don't worry, you can try a pore-shrinking mask made from other natural ingredients.
Like a natural mask made by a woman who owns the Instagram account @vandana_goswamii. In the video he uses rice flour, aloe vera gel and honey.
Rice flour has long been used in skin care in various cultures because of its exfoliating properties. It is known that rice flour has a smooth texture which is effective in removing dead skin cells, thus helping to minimize the appearance of pores. The natural ingredients in rice flour can also help absorb excess oil on the skin.
Aloe vera gel has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that help reduce inflammation of the skin, including acne which can cause enlarged pores. The natural ingredients in aloe vera gel can help reduce the appearance of pores by naturally narrowing them.
Honey has effective cleansing properties to clean pores and remove dirt and excess oil that cause enlarged pores. Honey also has the natural ability to moisturize the skin without leaving an oily feeling, thereby helping maintain the skin's moisture balance and preventing enlarged pores.

Can rice flour brighten the face?
Rice flour, which is usually used to mix food ingredients, turns out to have benefits for the skin. Apparently rice flour can be used to brighten the face. This is due to the fine texture of rice flour which can be used as an exfoliating agent. When used as a facial scrub, rice flour helps remove dead skin cells and makes skin brighter by removing dull layers of skin.
Reporting from lifestyleasia.com, the vitamins B, C and E in rice flour are useful for increasing blood circulation. These two ingredients are also able to regenerate skin cells, making the skin look bright and clean.
