There’s something deeply satisfying about feeling that you have fresh, clean skin. The problem is that just washing your face isn’t really enough and unclogging your pores requires a deep cleanse. The good news is that there are a number of things you can easily do at home.
How to Clean Your Pores
Steam
This is one of my favourite treatments when my skin is looking especially lacklustre. Simply pour steaming water into a bowl, place a towel over your head and slowly lower your face toward the water. For an even better experience, add a few drops of peppermint or green tea to the water. If you are prone to breakouts, several drops of tea tree oil will be a great choice for you. Steam for 10 to 15 minutes. Always be careful with boiling water.
DIY honey/lemon masks
Almost every DIY face mask lists honey as an ingredient and that’s because of its healing properties, as well as helping to tighten your pores. The simplest mask is to apply a few tablespoons of raw honey right to your face, but you can also add a tablespoon of cinnamon or a tablespoon of yogurt with a teaspoon of olive oil to smooth out the impurities in your skin.
Lemon is another one of those seemingly miracle ingredients because the acid is a natural exfoliant. You can add it to the above masks or simply place a few drops directly on to your face. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then wash your face with warm water. These easy masks can be done three or more times a week as needed, but remember that lemon can be drying when applied directly on your skin.
