In contact with the surrounding air, the pores of our face have the bad property of absorbing all kinds of impurities from the atmosphere, which, getting stuck in them, begin to ferment and rot. This process is aggravated by the remnants of sebum that have not been processed by cells.
The result is that the cells cannot breathe, the complexion becomes gray and dull, and inflammation begins in the form of pimples and blackheads. It's time to use masks for deep cleansing of the face, prepared with your own hands, for skin care.
Cleansing is a very important step in comprehensive care for any skin type. Without it, no other cosmetic procedures will be successful. This function is successfully performed by scrubs, but due to their relatively high invasiveness, many people prefer to use masks for deep cleansing of the face as part of home skin care. They effectively:
- dissolve sebum, which, when produced in large quantities, clogs pores;
- causes impurities to come to the surface of the skin;
- soothe skin irritated by inflammation;
- disinfect and disinfect the skin from infections and microbes;
- restore damaged tissues, promoting their natural regeneration;
- protect the skin from various aggressive external factors.
Such deep cleansing of the face leads to very noticeable results: the complexion becomes radiant and healthy, small pimples and blackheads disappear, all other skin treatments become several times more effective.
Rules for using masks for deep cleansing
To ensure deep cleansing of facial skin using homemade masks, you need to know which masks and how to use for these purposes. There are not many recommendations for their use, but they must be followed strictly.
- Apply masks only to skin cleansed of cosmetics.
- Before the procedure, it is advisable to open the pores with a steam herbal bath (chamomile or sage) or at least just wash your face with hot water.
- Rub the prepared pea-sized mask into the skin of your wrist and see what happens in 20–30 minutes. If there is no discomfort, burning sensation or itching, the mask can be used on the face without any fear.
- To remove dead cells and other excess particles from the surface of the skin, it is recommended to apply cleansing masks with your fingertips, gently, gently rubbing the mixture into the skin in a circular, massaging motion.
- 20 minutes for any cleansing mask will be enough.
- They are easily washed off with water at room temperature.
- To soothe the skin, after the mask, apply a protective, moisturizing or simply nourishing cream that you use regularly.
- If the problem of clogged pores is very important for you, such masks can be done every other day until the skin condition improves. If you do them only as a preventive measure, once a week will be enough.
This is how you can deep cleanse your face at home - with the help of special masks.

Smooth skin is the main secret of a well-groomed appearance for both men and women. This statement mainly concerns the skin of the face. Usually, the fairer sex is the most concerned about this issue. Many people try to achieve radiant skin by taking care of general health and cleansing the body, but we should not forget about local cleansing of the skin. There are many at-home facial cleansing techniques that anyone can practice.
The skin of the face is most susceptible to negative atmospheric influences. She suffers daily from frost, wind, dust and dry air, which weakens the work of the sebaceous glands and deteriorates the quality of the upper layer of the epidermis. The skin of the face is replete with a huge number of pores, allowing the secretion of oil and sweat. Under unfavorable conditions, pores become clogged with sebum, which causes metabolic disruptions and the skin begins to actively accumulate toxins.
To activate the normal functioning of the glands and give the skin a healthy appearance, it is necessary to regularly perform pore cleaning procedures at home. Salon services, as a rule, cost a lot of money, but home recipes give very good results.
The effect of homemade masks to cleanse pores
If you have chosen the right cleanser, then soon after you start using it, expect the following results:
- pores get rid of dirt and sebaceous plugs. The mask narrows them, thereby significantly improving the appearance of the face;
- Not only the epidermis is cleaned, but also the deeper layers of the skin, since the active components have a good penetrating effect, removing toxins and impurities;
- after cleansing, the skin is actively saturated with oxygen, which helps normalize all metabolic and energy processes;
- The pore cleansing mask nourishes and moisturizes the skin, activates blood circulation, which improves complexion.
Using homemade masks is convenient; you can change the ingredients at your own discretion and prepare the compositions at any convenient time. The main ingredients are dairy products and a variety of herbs that can always be found in the kitchen. To achieve positive results, it is necessary to follow the rules for such procedures.
Basic rules for facial cleansing
It will deeply help to achieve an amazing transformation: you will narrow the pores on your nose and cheeks, clean out all impurities from them, and get rid of unhealthy complexion. To see such results, follow these rules for using homemade face masks:

- You shouldn’t do scrubbing or peeling, just steaming is enough;
- The cleansing mask should be left on for no more than 20 minutes, because often the components have a rather aggressive effect;
- rinse off the composition with water and a few drops of lemon juice - this will neutralize the effect of the active substances.
Before you start preparing the composition, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients. Film masks for deep cleaning of pores, which can be easily prepared at home using edible gelatin, have gained enormous popularity. Gelatin diluted with water does an excellent job of removing clogged pores in the nose area, while it has a tightening effect.
A pore-cleansing mask should be used at least once a week. If you resort to this procedure less often, the skin will not be able to receive the required amount of oxygen.
After removing the mask, you should not apply cream to your face; these actions will lead to even greater blockage of enlarged pores. Using these recommendations, you can make facial cleansing simple and enjoyable, and also achieve visible results in a short time.
Use of medicinal herbs

Taking care of skin health is not complete without regular cleansing. Not everyone knows that there are certain rules, non-compliance with which can lead to inflammation and various rashes.
Cosmetologists strongly advise following general recommendations:
- Special cleansing products are selected for your skin type.
- Cleansing of makeup, dust and excess fat must be carried out 2 times a day.
- It is important to pay special attention to the sensitive areas of the skin around the eyes and lips.
- After the procedure, use tonics and then apply basic care products.
- Use scrub and peeling no more than 1 – 2 times a week.
It is important to pay special attention to sensitive areas around the eyes Why are blackheads on the face dangerous?
The presence of blackheads is initially unaesthetic in nature and has nothing to do with inflammatory processes. If you ignore a cosmetic defect, the condition of the skin will worsen, and the number and size of sebaceous plugs will only increase.
Meanwhile, clogged pores can lead to serious skin conditions. With an excess of sebaceous secretion, dead cells accumulate, which becomes a favorable environment for the proliferation of harmful bacteria that cause inflammation, acne and suppuration.
The result will be serious complications and diseases of the facial skin, which will require qualified treatment. The longer the solution to the problem is delayed, the more difficult it will be to return the skin to a healthy state.
Preparing to cleanse pores with a “homemade” mask
A positive result can be achieved with proper and thorough preparation for applying the mask. It is necessary to remove all cosmetics from the face - foundation, eye and lip makeup. You can use the usual product.
Skin cleansed of cosmetics and impurities must be steamed; this can be done in two ways:
- The first is a steam bath, here it is important not to expose your face to it for more than 10 minutes to avoid burns.
- The second method is steaming with a hot towel; it is applied tightly to the places where the procedure will be carried out.
Steam bath is one of the ways to steam the skin Note! Preparation includes cleaning and disinfecting hands and using sterile gloves. This measure will prevent infection.

- absolutely any product, “homemade” or purchased in finished form, must be tested for allergic reactions;
- before applying the mask, make a steam bath or compress with a hot towel, this is necessary to maximize the expansion of pores and safely remove sebaceous plugs;
- keep the mask for no longer than 15 - 20 minutes, otherwise the ingredients contained in the mixture may damage the skin;
- Cleansers should be used systematically;
- It is forbidden to apply fatty oils or intensely nourishing creams after the procedure - this will re-clog the newly cleansed pores.
Skin care after using masks
Depending on the masks used, you should do the following:
- Superficial cleansing. After the light peeling procedure, no major manipulation is required. You should remove the mask, then wipe your face with toner and lubricate with moisturizer.
- Deep cleansing. After the procedure, there may be consequences such as pain and redness. Correctly selected cleansers - milk with a light texture or foam - will relieve you from unpleasant sensations. In addition, it is necessary to use creams that protect against ultraviolet radiation (level at least 50).
After removing the mask, apply moisturizer to your face Deep pore cleansers
