To clean pores at home, gently wash your face twice daily with a mild cleanser, use steam for 5?10 minutes once or twice a week to open pores, and apply simple remedies like a multani mitti (fuller?s earth) or honey mask to absorb oil and dirt. You can also use a mild scrub (like oatmeal or sugar with curd) once a week to remove dead skin, but avoid over-scrubbing.
