Say Goodbye to Open Pores with This Natural Jasmine, Alum & Glycerin Ice Remedy – Easy DIY That Really Works
Open pores are a common skin concern that can make your face look uneven, rough, and prematurely aged. Most visible around the nose and cheeks, these pores often collect oil, dirt, and dead skin, leading to blackheads, whiteheads, and acne. If costly products haven’t delivered results, a simple DIY solution using natural ingredients might be your skin’s new best friend.
Skincare influencer @thatsaiangel recently shared a homemade remedy on Instagram that targets open pores using jasmine flowers, alum (fitkari), glycerin, and water—items easily found at home. This simple concoction helps tighten pores, reduce oil, and improve overall skin texture.
What You’ll Need:
- 4–5 fresh jasmine flowers
- A small piece of alum (fitkari)
- 1 glass of water
- 1 tablespoon of glycerin
How to Prepare:
- Boil one glass of water. Add jasmine flowers and alum once it reaches a rolling boil.
- Simmer for 5–10 minutes to let the ingredients infuse.
- Mix in glycerin after turning off the heat. Stir well.
- Cool and freeze the mixture in a tray for 4–5 hours.
How to Use:
Once frozen, rub an ice cube gently over areas with visible pores—usually around the cheeks and nose. Repeat this 3–4 times a week on freshly cleansed skin. The cooling effect instantly tightens the skin, while regular use can visibly shrink pores over time.
Why It Works:
- Alum has natural astringent and antibacterial properties that help tighten pores and control oil.
- Jasmine detoxifies the skin, removes impurities, and helps minimize sebum buildup.
- Glycerin keeps your skin moisturized, soft, and glowing even as pores tighten.
A Word of Caution:
Though made from natural ingredients, this remedy may not suit everyone—especially sensitive or allergy-prone skin. Always do a patch test and consult a dermatologist if you experience irritation.
