Masks for clear pores

Even completely acne free face looks far from ideal if the pores are dirty. Timely cleansing of the face will allow you to maintain the dermis in impeccable condition, especially since if you do the procedures regularly, this will not be difficult. 

How to make masks to clean pores

To pore cleaning was as effective as possible, when performing procedures you should follow some rules:

• Be sure to steam your skin before applying pore cleansers. There are several ways to do this. The most effective is to use a special sauna for the face. If you don’t have a suitable unit at home, boil water in a saucepan, and then hold your face over the steam, covering yourself with a towel. Instead of plain water, it is useful to prepare decoctions of medicinal herbs. Another low-cost way to steam your skin is to soak a small terry towel in hot water, squeeze it thoroughly and place it on your face. You need to do this several times, changing the canvas after cooling. Steaming your facial skin is much more effective than using scrubs, since dirt will come out much easier through open pores.
• Before distributing the cleansing composition all over your face, be sure to test for an allergic reaction. Prepare just a little mask and apply a small amount to the area behind your earlobe. If after a few hours there is no itching or redness, there is no allergy, you can use the mask for its intended purpose.
• The optimal exposure time for a detox mask is a quarter of an hour. To prepare masks, a variety of ingredients are used, including quite aggressive ones, so you cannot leave the mask on your face too long, so as not to get a burn and other unpleasant consequences.
• It is better to remove the mask from the face with water, in which you must first dissolve a small amount of lemon juice. It is very good if you boil the water beforehand (before adding the juice), this will serve as a useful softening.
• Always prepare the composition for one use only. Do not store ready-made masks, but use the prepared compositions immediately, since after 30-60 minutes the amount of useful substances will decrease significantly.
• After removing the mask, give your skin a rest and avoid applying thick creams and other compositions, otherwise this will lead to clogged pores.

It’s not difficult to follow these rules, but with them the skin cleansing procedure will become both pleasant and effective.

Effective pore masks

There are a lot of options for masks for cleansing pores and each is good in its own way. We offer you the best recipes, among which you are sure to find what suits you best.

• Combine baking soda and water in equal proportions to form a porridge-like mixture. Apply the mixture to prepared skin and rinse after 10 minutes. Despite its simplicity, this is a very effective cleansing mask, which has another positive effect - lightening the dermis, which is very useful if there is pigmentation on the skin.
• For dry skin, a cleansing mask with honey is very suitable. Mix baking soda and honey in equal proportions and apply to the skin in an even layer. For very dry and sensitive skin, you can include a little cosmetic oil in the mask - olive, peach, or egg yolk.
• Combine a large spoonful of natural cottage cheese with finely chopped boiled eggshells, pour in a little warmed milk so that you get the consistency of sour cream. Apply to the dermis for 20 minutes, then rinse. This mask also goes well with dry skin types.
• Beat the white of one egg, combine it with a small amount of lemon juice and a couple of drops tea tree oil. Distribute the finished composition over the dermis and wait 10-15 minutes, then rinse and wipe the skin with a refreshing lotion.
• Combine brewer's yeast with soda in equal volumes, add an ampoule of vitamin C and boiled water until a paste forms. Apply to prepared skin for 10-15 minutes.
• Mix a large spoon of ground rolled oats, half a large spoon of soda and three large spoons of kefir very well, add 3 drops of boric acid. Apply to face for 10 minutes and rinse. This composition should be used with caution on dry and sensitive skin.
• Apply a thick layer of rolled oats steamed with boiling water onto the skin for 20 minutes.
• Combine milk and gelatin in equal volumes, place the mixture in a steam bath and wait until the gelatin dissolves. Let the mask cool slightly and add one yolk. Mix everything very well and apply to the skin. After the composition has set, the resulting film must be carefully removed.
• Grate 1/2 part of a fresh cucumber and squeeze the juice out of it. Combine cucumber porridge with a small spoon of sour milk and the same amount of oil suitable for your skin type. Mix everything well and apply to the skin for 15 minutes, then rinse.
• Chop the sauerkraut and put the mixture on your face for 15 minutes. To prevent the cabbage from falling off your face, you can put a piece of gauze on top to hold the composition.

How often can you make pore masks?

There is no clear answer to how often you should clean your pores. On average, it is better to organize such procedures once every seven days. This will saturate the skin with oxygen and maintain its attractive appearance. This is especially true for women who use foundation and powder every day, since such cosmetics contribute to clogging of pores, which subsequently leads to the formation of blackheads.
