Tips for Pore Cleansing Mask
After applying one of these masks, you need to complete your skin care with an adequate moisturiser. Different ingredients will make your pores tighter. But when you apply moisturiser, your skin will absorb all the benefits of these ingredients.
Also, when you are using lemon juice in your recipe, you need to be careful about one thing. Lemon juice can interact with sun. This means you must avoid using lemon juice during day. It is better to apply any homemade product with lemon at night.
Another tip for DIY pore cleansing mask is it is better to prepare small portions. It is always better to use fresh ingredients. So, when you are making a mask, just make it for that day. Of course you might have some excess mask in your hand. In this case, you can store your mask in fridge. Generally, you can store them for about 1 week.
