Beautiful skin is something that you have to work on. The truth is that most of us don’t have the flawless, spot-free face, but it’s also truth that we can all have it if we just put in a little effort. Keeping your pores clean will not only make that happen but it will also reduce the risk of having acne. You see, it is believed that acne appear when clogged pores get infected. During puberty oil glands in the skin start producing more oil which expands the pores, making them more suitable for bacteria infections. That, off course causes acne. For the people that have oily skin, or at least oily areas- the well known T zone (forehead and nose area), the risks of having large pores are higher, so using a pore cleanser is a must.

Today, you can choose from a variety of brands and products. You can get all kinds of pore cleansers like lotions, peel off masks, even pore cleansers that work with batteries. But if you don’t know what to pick, or if you have extremely sensitive skin you can also make your own completely natural pore cleanser. After all, there is nothing safer than a homemade pore cleanser. This way you don’t have to spend a fortune to have beautiful skin. People have been using natural ingredients for decades, so why can’t you? It’s simple and fun, and all you need are the things you can find in your own kitchen.

For dry skin- If you have this type of skin think about including milk and honey in your daily routine. Honey moisturizes the skin and makes it smooth. Apply it like a facial mask and let it sit on your face for 15-20 minutes. You will see the difference. Milk contains lipids, minerals and vitamins. You can use it on it’s own like a face or body wash, or mix it with honey or oatmeal.

For oily skin –If your skin is oily you can use tomatoes because they have many natural acids and exfoliates. You can squish it into a paste and use it on it’s own, or mix it with oatmeal for example. Lemon or lime is also a good choice. Apply it with the cotton pad, even every day, if you like. Lemon narrows the pores and regulates the pH value of the skin so it’s great for treating large pores and removing excess oil from.

Pore cleansers are designed for solving many skin problems like acne, dark spots, pimples etc. Pores on our face are openings of oil glands, and their size is a hereditary factor. That means that nothing you do will make them smaller. However, if pore cleanser is applied regularly it can reduce large pores. If you want to have a beautiful and youthful skin it’s very important to keep your pores clean. That means regularly removing the oil, dead cells and dirt that gets collected on your skin. Pore cleanser unclogs your pores and helps your skin “breathe”. When using a pore cleanser it is important to pay attention to the areas where the pores are very deep. Those areas are cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. Also, before using a pore cleanser, make sure you remove all makeup and dirt.

Pore cleansers can be found like:

-Facial cleansers (solutions) and acne astringents
-Suction- based electronic appliances

Facial cleansers usually contain exfoliating beads that scrub the dirt and the dead cells off the face. Most of them have a very mild formulation which is suitable for sensitive skin and everyday use. Facial cleanser is applied after a hot shower, when pores are open. After washing off the cleanser, it’s good to use a toner to tighten the pores and prevent them from collecting dirt. The finishing move is applying a good moisturizer.

Acne astringents usually contain alcohol which is used to reduce the inflammation and dry up the pimples. When choosing your pore cleanser have in mind also that alcohol has negative sides too. Although it can be useful when dealing with the inflammation (pimple), everyday use of alcohol-based pore cleanser can make you more problems. Alcohol dries the skin which makes the oil glands work extra to produce more oil. That, off course, results more skin problems

Suction based electronic appliances are maybe the best way of solving a problem with large pores. Electronic pore cleanser works by applying a low level of suction on the pores, removing the dirt and oil out of them, and making them clean and opened. These pore cleansers have two different suction caps. One is smaller and it’s used for the nose area, and the other is bigger and it’s used for cheeks and chin area. It is used on the clean skin, during or right after a hot bath. After the treatment, proper cleaning and moisturizing are a must.
