We all had terrible acne when we were jittery teenagers. It made us insecure. Even in our wildest dreams, we prayed for an acne-free face. The funniest thing is that, finally, when they were gone, they left their children. That is, large, open pores.

For many of us, enlarged or open skin pores are a cosmetic concern. Even though these cosmetic problems are not life-threatening and have no connection to any major life challenges, they undoubtedly have an impact on a person’s emotional health and self-esteem.

If you feel uncomfortable or are experiencing psychological anguish due to open pores on your face, you should see a skin specialist right away for prompt treatment. In such a situation, be sure to see a doctor and never try to treat yourself. (Read more: 7 Skincare Tips To Ensure You Bloom This Spring)

Gram flour

All that gram of flour—also known as besan—is flour made from crushed chickpeas.

• Yoghurt, olive oil, and besan can be used to form a face pack.
• Blend these components into a smooth paste.
• On your face, apply this face pack. Give it time to dry. Use cold water to wash it off.
• You may massage some ice onto your skin and then use a water-based moisturizer to finish off the face pack.

Oats

Colloidal oats provide several advantages for the skin. You can get relief from itchy and irritated skin by using colloidal oatmeal.

• To form a paste, combine honey and colloidal oatmeal.
• Evenly apply this paste to your face, then allow it to dry.
• Use warm water to wash it off when it has dried.
• Apply a last coat of moisturizer.

Ice cubes

Ice cubes can help you combat your open-pore problem. Rolling some ice cubes on your skin can help you tighten the skin on your face and close the open pores.

You can also rub ice cubes on your face after applying any face pack.

Apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is nature’s skin toner for you.

• Mix a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with two teaspoons of water.
• Soak a cotton ball in the mix and apply it to your face.
• Leave it on for five to ten minutes before you rinse it off.
• Moisturize your skin as usual.

Sugar scrub

Sugar does an amazing job of exfoliating the skin and removing excess oil and debris from the pores.

• Just cut a lemon in half, take a wedge, and place some sugar on it.
• Rub it on your entire face and let the juice and sugar crystals stay on your skin for 15 minutes before you rinse it off with water.

Tip: You can also add some olive oil to the scrub if you want; just make sure you use half the amount of sugar.
