What Causes Clogged Pores on the Face? 


Before talking about remedies, we should address the elephant in the room - What exactly causes clogged pores? The truth is there’s not one but many factors that can contribute to this common skin issue. 


Clogged pores occur when dead skin cells, oil, dirt, and debris get trapped in your skin. Thus, creating blockages. This buildup is often a result of excess oil production, hormonal changes, or improper skincare routines. Other culprits are:


  • Environmental pollutants 

  • Makeup residue 

  • Sweat. 


Understanding these causes is the first step toward finding the best solution. And that’s where the right remedies and products come in to restore balance to your skin. 


What are Home Remedies for Clogged Pores on the Face? 


Men and women who want to get rid of those pesky clogged pores can try the following remedies in comfort of their homes: 


1 Glow-up ubtan and yogurt


As we said before, clogged pores often result from a buildup of dead skin cells, dirt, and oil. A natural exfoliant like Ekattva’s Glow Up Ubtan combined with yogurt can help remove them, that too while brightening your skin. The turmeric in our product lightens dark spots and pigmentation while orange peel refreshes and revitalizes. 


Yogurt, on the other hand, adds lactic acid for extra exfoliation. Leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth.
