6 – Moisturising Face Mask
You will need to moisturise your skin to keep your pores clean. If your skin is not moist enough, your pores will get bigger. And this cause them to clog more. So, keeping your skin hydrated is the essential element for keeping your pores clean.
Ingredients
3 table spoons of banana
½ table spoon of honey
1-2 drops of lemon juice
Preparation
Mix all the ingredients in a cup. Apply this mixture on your face and neck area. Avoid your eye area as the skin around your eyes is thin. Wait for 20 minutes. Wash your face with cold water.
Also, after applying these masks, complete your beauty routine with a suitable moisturiser. You can make your own moisturiser at home as well. The important thing here is to choose a one that suits your skin type.
