Brilio.net - Not only acne can make your facial appearance less than perfect, but facial pores that appear larger than they should be can also make your face problematic. It's not surprising that large pores are quite a troubling problem. In fact, pores have an important function as a place where sebum or natural skin oils come out. This sebum plays a role in keeping the skin moist and hydrated.
But unfortunately, in some people the pores appear larger than they should be, so their face looks oily and dull. There are various factors that trigger this condition, such as genetics, weather changes, excessive exposure to sunlight, hot temperatures, and free radicals. An oily face will make it easier for dirt or free radicals to stick to the surface of the face.
Well, some of the dirt in question is dead skin cells that have accumulated, dust, and makeup residue that has not been cleaned optimally. This dirt will mix with sebum which then clogs facial pores. Blockages that are not cleaned and treated immediately will turn into blackheads. This condition will make the pores appear larger than they should be.
If left unchecked, these large pores can also be the cause of inflamed acne, you know. The reason is that dirt trapped in facial pores will become a place for the development of P. acnes bacteria which causes inflammatory acne. Therefore, if you want to avoid various facial skin problems, you can try to tighten large pores using natural ingredients.
One natural ingredient that is widely used to tighten large pores on the face is oatmeal. Many people use this natural ingredient as a scrub which is effective in removing dirt that causes large pores. But unfortunately, for some people, their faces actually experience irritation because the texture of oatmeal is too coarse and can make the face red.
