QI am 21 years old and I have open pores on my nose and they look odd. Please help me get rid of them. Ideas for home remedies are welcomed.
AOpen pores occur on oily skin or oily areas of a combination of skin types due to the excess activity of oil-producing glands in the skin. The pores must be kept free of oil. Use a cleanser or face wash for oily skin. After cleansing properly, apply an astringent lotion or skin tonic, using cotton wool. You could mix rose water and astringent lotion in equal quantities and leave it in the fridge. Wipe the areas with open pores several times a day. Mix Fuller's Earth (multani mitti) with rose water into a paste and apply it on the face. Wash it off when it dries. This also helps to reduce oiliness and close the pores.
Deep pore cleansing with grains and scrubs helps to prevent clogging of the pores with hardened oil. Mix rice flour with rose water and apply it on the open pores. Rub gently on the skin with small circular movements. Leave it on for a few minutes and wash off with water. Mix oatmeal with egg white and apply it on the areas with enlarged pores twice a week. Wash it off when it dries.
