Enlarged pores are a source of problems on facial skin

Brilio.net - Have you ever experienced skin problems with acne, blackheads appearing, and skin texture feeling rough? All of these problems are unknowingly influenced by one cause, namely enlarged skin pores. You need to know, pores are small holes in the skin that function as a place for oil (sebum) and sweat to escape from the body.

Pores enlarge when the sebaceous glands located beneath the surface of the skin produce excess oil. When these oils are not distributed properly, pores can become clogged. Then it causes inflammation and increases its size. On the other hand, when dead skin cells are not exfoliated efficiently, they result in buildup around the pores. Well, this process is known as keratinization which can also cause enlarged pores.

Apart from being influenced by accumulated sebum and dead skin cells, large pores can also occur due to sun exposure. It is known that UV rays can damage the elastin in the skin, causing facial pores to tend to enlarge and making the skin texture less smooth.

So that your facial skin becomes smooth again and avoids skin problems, you need to shrink your pores. There are various ways to shrink pores that you can use, such as cleaning your face regularly, using sunscreen, and exfoliating.

Not only using beauty products, you can exfoliate using natural ingredients without mixing tomatoes. This is the method used by YouTube user pihuofficials08. In the video he uploaded, the content creator uses a kitchen ingredient, namely salt . Reporting from salontrue.ne, this natural ingredient which has a salty taste has coarse grains which can help remove dead skin cells and dirt that accumulates around the pores.

Additionally, this salt has absorbent properties, which can help remove excess oil from the skin. When used as a scrub, the movement of rubbing salt into the skin can increase blood circulation in the area. Increased blood circulation helps supply nutrients to the skin and remove toxins, thereby helping to narrow pores.

When exfoliating naturally, you don't just use salt. These kitchen ingredients are combined with honey, lemon, aloe vera gel and vitamin capsules. Honey is a natural moisturizing agent that helps maintain skin moisture. The antioxidant content in honey helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.

Lemon contains vitamin C which helps brighten the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation. The citric acid in lemon has mild exfoliative properties that can help remove dead skin cells.

Then, the aloe vera gel in this treatment helps soothe inflammation and irritation on the skin. The natural moisturizer in aloe vera gel helps keep dry skin moist. The final ingredient is vitamin E capsules, which have antioxidant properties. This content is believed to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
