The enlarged pores are a problem for many women, especially in the T zone, and for those with oily or combination skin. But there is a natural and home-made remedy for this too. Mix a spoonful of baking powder with egg yolk and apply on the face, paying particular attention to the T zone. After 15 minutes rinse with fresh water and apply a tonic.

Simple DIY anti-wrinkle mask with egg white

This is a mask that you can also do twice a week or when you need a lifting effect before an evening out. Prepare it by adding a spoonful of honey to the egg white and mix until you get a thick mixture. Apply on your face and leave it on for 20 minutes. Finally, rinse with warm water with the help of a sponge. Then, apply a good moisturizer.

Firming face mask with yogurt

Chamomile anti fatigue and decongestant mask

To eliminate facial tiredness and remove & relieve redness, it is useful to prepare a chamomile face mask. It is also suitable as a night mask before going to bed. You can use either chamomile sachets or flowers. Infuse the sachet or flowers in water and bring it to a boil. Let it cool and then add a spoonful of flour. Spread the mixed products on the face and leave on for at least 15 minutes. For a decongestant effect, once the chamomile is prepared, leave it to cool in the fridge for about twenty minutes. Then wet the cotton pads with the infusion and place them on the face, leaving it to act for at least 10 minutes.

Useful tips to correctly apply the face mask

It is important to apply the mask immediately after preparing it to ensure that it does not lose effectiveness.
Apply the mask only on a perfectly clean face.
The greatest effect of the face mask is obtained in the first 5 minutes of application but it is good to let it act a little more to improve its effect.
When we put on masks with astringent power, such as the one for enlarged pores, we must be careful not to speak or move our face too much in order not to spoil the effect and risk pulling too much on the skin.
Avoid the area around the eyes unless the mask is specific to that area of the face.
Always remove the mask with the help of a sponge or cotton pads soaked in warm or cold water depending on the type of mask.
After making the face mask always apply a cream suitable for our skin type
