What Causes Clogged Pores, and How Can They Be Cleared Naturally? - #15491
I recently started noticing small bumps and blackheads on my skin, and after researching, I found out they might be clogged pores. From what I understand, clogged pores occur when dirt, oil, and dead skin cells accumulate in hair follicles, but what are the main reasons some people are more prone to them than others? I read that clogged pores can lead to acne, whiteheads, and blackheads, but how do you know if your pores are clogged versus just having dry or sensitive skin? Also, does diet or stress play a role in making pores worse? One thing that concerns me is how to clear clogged pores effectively without damaging the skin. Are there any safe home remedies to deep-clean pores and prevent them from getting clogged again? Are there any Ayurvedic or natural skincare solutions that help with unclogging pores and reducing acne? I’ve heard that Neem, Multani Mitti (Fuller’s Earth), and Turmeric are great for purifying the skin—do these actually work? If anyone has dealt with clogged pores, what skincare routine or treatments worked best? Did exfoliation, facials, or herbal remedies make the biggest difference?
