Can washing your face with salt shrink your pores?

Every winter, people's enlarged pores problem becomes more serious. Although many people use skin care products to adjust the pores, the results are very unsatisfactory. Regarding the problem of enlarged pores, there is a popular saying that fine salt can shrink pores. So, can washing your face with fine salt shrink pores? Let’s take a look at it below.

Fine salt can shrink pores. In addition to this effect, using fine salt to clean the skin has other unexpected effects.

In fact, salt is also effective for the "stubborn disease" of acne on the back. After taking a bath, let your body warm up fully. After your pores open, apply more salt on your back, making sure to get it into every corner. Massage with a bath brush for 1 minute. Don't use too much force. Just move the salt between the skin and the brush. Then dip a sponge in light salt water, apply it to your back for 10 minutes, and then wash it off with clean water.

Shrinking pores is beneficial for the T-zone, which secretes a lot of oil. Even in autumn, many oily skins still produce a lot of oil. For local areas, you can apply fine salt on the pre-moistened skin, gently massage and rest for a few minutes, then use the middle fingertips to do squeezing massage from bottom to top on the open pores on both sides of the nose.

Use salt to brighten your skin. After washing your face, put a small spoonful of fine salt in the palm of your hand and add 3-5 drops of water. Use your fingers to carefully stir the salt and water evenly. Then apply the salt water from your forehead from top to bottom, doing a circular massage while applying. After a few minutes, when the salt water on your face has dried and turned into white powder, wash your face with warm water, apply moisturizing lotion or continue with normal skin care steps. Continue this process every morning and evening after washing your face.

Through relevant introductions, we learned that washing your face with fine salt on a daily basis really has the effect of shrinking pores. However, it should be noted that we should not excessively use fine salt to wash our face in daily life. One to twice a week is enough. If you always use salt to clean your skin, it will cause your skin to become dry and dehydrated, so it should not be used frequently.
