Although it is not exactly clear from your question what kind of pores you are talking about, I assume that you are suffering from clogged pores and you want a remedy to unclog and clean the pores of skin on your face. However, it is also possible that you are actually asking for remedies to treat the open pores in your skin. So, here are two possible scenarios we consider and outline some remedies for both of them. Pick the one which is suitable to your case.
If you are trying get rid of clogged pores, there are some simple remedies you can try out. Wash your face regularly with mild soap and do not let dust, sweat, or oil secretions from the body settle on your skin for long. You can use a mixture of aloe vera gel, tea tree extract andhoney to clean and nourish your skin. The pores on the skin are natural outlets for sweat, oils, and toxins and serve the vital purpose of keeping our skin fresh. Due to several reasons - like hormonal imbalance, pollution, external weather - the skin pores may get clogged and thereby cause lot of problems. Besides washing your face regularly to cleanse your skin, as mentioned earlier, you can also get a steam facial. Steam helps to loosen oil and dead skin cells that clog your pores. Mud packs are another good way to keep your face clean as they help to slough off dirt and dead skin. Apply a few drops of lemon juice mixed with honey and cucumber extract to your face daily to keep your skin clean and oil free.
For the second assumption (that you want to close open pores), you can follow a few of the following remedies, although there is not exactly much to be done to close the pores. You can use a toner or an astringent to tighten your facial skin and shrink the pores, but this is not a permanent solution. It is better to keep your skin clean and healthy so that the open pores do not collect sweat, dust, or bacteria. Open pores, if not cleaned properly may give rise to infection. Blackheads may also appear at the open pores. So, wash your face with cold water and apply proper moisturizing cream afterwards so that the skin remains hydrated. Rubbing ice packs on the skin can also help.
Irrespective of which remedies you follow, there are some common basic practices that will help you. Follow a proper diet of healthy and nutritious food - green vegetables, fresh fruits, pulses, cereals, whole grains, etc. Do not smoke, drink, or eat junk food frequently. And finally, drink plenty of water throughout the day.
