Clogged pores cause dull skin, breakouts and generally makes the skin look and feel unhealthy.

The skin is meant to shed the dead skin layer often to reveal newer, healthier and brighter skin, the reason exfoliation is great on the skin because no matter how much you (physically clean the skin, its necessary to make sure it's deeply cleansed - there are numerous deep pore cleansing astringents that work in the market).

While clogged pores can be cleared using deep cleansers, home remedies also work well to ensure the skin stays bright and healthy.

It's equally great for maintaining the skin's PH balance and it's easy to get and cheap as well!
