Can you imagine ultimately reducing open pores and then getting clear skin by applying an ice pack at home? Swipe to discover how to get rid of open pores easily at home.
Cleanse Your Face
Make sure to wash your face and remove any dirt, oil, makeup etc first. This is to allow the ice treatment for maximum efficacy, reaching your open pores without a barrier.
WRAP ICE CUBES
Wrap a few ice cubes in a soft, clean cloth so that it doesn't cause skin irritation or frostbite. This results in a mild and safe cooling compress for the skin.
APPLY TO OPEN PORES
Place your ice pack on the affected areas such as the nose, cheek and forehead. Hold it for 15-30 seconds before you move to another spot to avoid over-exposure.
PORE-TIGHTENING TONER
Icing on open pores helps get those pores super tight. Choose an alcohol-free toner, and look for ingredients like witch hazel or green tea that can calm the skin.
LOCK IN MOISTURE
After icing, it is important to moisturise your skin so that it produces hydration and prevents dryness. Opt for a lightweight moisturiser that is also non-comedogenic to keep your skin hydrated.
STUDY FINDINGS
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) using very low temperatures in skincare (such as using ice cubes) to counteract inflammation and thus reduce pore size.
CONCLUSION
Applying a cold pack regularly is one of the simple and easy ways to recover from open pores. Contact a dermatologist for personalised advice.
