The pores in your skin are tiny openings that allow sweat and sebum to come to the surface. These pores generally become more obvious during puberty as the production of sebum – which is the body’s natural lubricant increases. Blockages in the pores, especially close to the surface of the skin can enlarge the pores.

Blocked pores can also lead to blackheads, whiteheads and acne. It is therefore important to keep your pores clean and free of excess oil.

If you are not already following a regular skin care routine, you will have to start immediately.

Regular skin care is essential as it helps to prevent blocked pores. You can choose mild skin products that are meant for your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, it is better to use natural home remedies for skin care. Cosmetic products have dyes and perfumes which are chemicals that often cause irritation in people with sensitive skin. You can also use these remedies if you do not have sensitive skin but prefer chemical-free products.

If you already have blocked pores, you can use several effective home remedies for blocked pores to get rid of this problem. You can make your own facial peel out of gelatin and freshly squeezed orange or lemon juice. Prepare the gelatin as per the instructions on the packet but use about ¼ cup less water. Once all the gelatin granules have dissolved, take it off the heat and add ¼ cup of orange juice or lemon juice and mix it thoroughly. Refrigerate the mixture for about 20 minutes by which time it should have thickened but not set. Use the back of a spoon to apply this mixture in an even layer to your skin. Allow it to dry completely before you slowly peel it off. This peel will help to unclog your skin pores and smoothen out your skin tone. To increase the effectiveness of this facial peel, rinse your face with very warm water before you use the peel. This will help to get rid of excess oil and dust on the surface of your skin as well as open up your skin pores.

Alternatively, you can make a face mask for blocked pores out of fresh lemon or orange juice and fuller’s earth. These juices are acidic and will help to dissolve the blockages, while fuller’s earth helps to extract the excess oil from the skin and prevent blockages. You should steam your face and apply a face pack at least twice a month. Steaming your face increases sweat and sebum production and helps to flush out dead skin cells within the pores and thus reduce the size of your pores. You can also rinse your face once a day with fresh cucumber juice as this will help to shrink the size of your skin pores.
