Homemade face masks for pores are just the thing you need to
effectively improve the quality of your skin and get rid of those large
pores for good. Large facial pores are not only ugly and unattractive,
they are also visible proof that the skin is unhealthy and not getting
as much nutrition as it should be.
Facial pores are not bad in
themselves as they are a normal component of the structure of our skin
and are necessary for its optimal function. They act as ventilation
outlets for the skin and are also passageways for the oily substance
'sebum' which lubricates and protects the skin's surface.
A
problem only arises with these pores when they begin to have an
abnormally enlarged appearance and give the face quite an unattractive
look. The enlargement of these pores are usually more common in
adolescents than in adults and also in women than men, and this is often
as a result of hormonal changes.
Large facial pores could also
kickstart other skin disorders such as acne, pimples, blackheads,
whiteheads, and so on. Homemade face masks are great as they are
effective in reducing the size of facial pores to normal and thus
preventing these skin problems.
While there are many commercial
and synthetic products available to treat large pores, homemade face
masks for pores often present a healthier, less risky choice. Less risky
because they are free of unknown chemicals and dangerous additives that
may sometimes be present in synthetic skin care products.
Some of the most common homemade remedies for large pores involve the use of hot water, ice, eggs, and lemons.
To
use hot water; pour some boiled, steaming water in a large, shallow
bowl and place your face some inches above it as to allow the steam to
reach your facial skin. Leave your face in this position for about 20 -
30 seconds at a stretch. Repeat this procedure three to five times in
one session, and about two to three sessions every week. The steam
actually clears the accumulated sebum within the pores, allowing them to
close and shrink in size.
The freezing effect of ice can also be
used to diminish the size of large pores as the low temperature causes
the skin to contract thus closing the pores. Rub the ice gently on the
affected area for 20 - 30 seconds at a stretch. Repeat regularly for
best results.
Another homemade face mask for pores uses egg whites
and lemon juice. Whisk one egg white and a teaspoon of lemon juice to a
foam; apply on to the face and leave to set for about fifteen minutes.
Rinse off with lukewarm water. This facial results in the natural
tightening of the skin, which in turn reduces the pores; use this remedy
at least twice a week for quick results.- Claire O Abdul-Azeez
