Does rubbing ice cube on face regularly porcelain the enlarged pores permanently?

Sugandhi

Ice should not be rubbed directly on skin, as it can lead to broken capillaries. Enlarged pores occur on oily areas of the skin. Clogging of the pores with oil leads to loss of elasticity of the pores, which remain open. Use a cleanser or a face wash for oily skin. After cleansing, mix chilled rose water and witch hazel in equal quantities. Keep in fridge, apply on face with cotton wool and wipe the areas several times a day.

Mix multani mitti with rose water into a paste and apply on face. Wash off when it dries. Deep pore cleansing with grains and scrubs helps prevent clogging of the pores with hardened oil. You can also mix oats with egg white and apply on areas with enlarged pores twice a week. Wash off when it is dry.
