Can salt shrink pores?

Salt has many uses in our lives. It can be used as a dietary supplement and also for beauty treatments. Many friends use salt for beauty treatments in their daily lives. It is mainly used to remove blackheads and shrink pores. However, the effects vary. Some people have more obvious effects, while others have less obvious effects or no effect at all. You must pay attention to this when using it. Can salt shrink pores? Let’s take a look below.

1. Salt is not very effective in shrinking pores. The main cause of enlarged pores is excessive sebum secretion, which is usually caused by hormonal imbalance, life stress, pollution, heat, humidity and other external environments. In addition, as we age, our skin gradually loses its elasticity, and the supporting structure around the hair follicles is insufficient, which can easily make the skin look like it has many pits. Coupled with the skin condition of being oily on the outside and dry on the inside, the originally delicate pores will become enlarged.

Second, the method of shrinking pores:

1. Ice compress - Soak a cotton pad with iced lotion and apply it on the face or areas with large pores to achieve a good astringent effect.

2. Cold compress with towel - Put a clean special small towel in the refrigerator. After washing your face, gently apply the ice towel on your face for a few seconds.

3. Use fruit to apply on your face - watermelon peel, lemon peel, etc. can be used to apply on your face. They have multiple functions such as tightening and softening pores, inhibiting oil secretion and whitening.

4. Wash your face with lemon juice - People with oily skin can add a few drops of lemon juice to the water when washing their face. In addition to tightening pores, it can also reduce the occurrence of acne and pimples. (But be careful not to make the concentration too strong and do not apply lemon juice directly on your face)

5. Cotton pad + lotion - prepare a small bottle of oil-free lotion in advance and then put cotton pad on it. After an hour, spray the lotion on the cotton pad and gently wipe the oily parts. It is refreshing and effective for you with large pores.

After the above introduction, we can know that although salt has the effect of shrinking pores, the effect is not very good. We can improve the pores through some small methods in life. In addition, we should also pay attention to our daily diet and living habits, especially to ensure adequate sleep time, which is especially important for our skin.
