New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu) : As we age our skin's natural glow can start to fade and premature aging can set in due to poor lifestyle choices and eating habits. One common sign of aging is the enlargement of facial pores. But fear not! Ayurvedic expert Manisha Mishra Goswami reveals that the solution to this problem lies in a simple kitchen ingredient: lentils. Why Do Pores Enlarge?

Pores become large when oil and dirt accumulate on the skin and collagen production decreases. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and a youthful appearance. However exposure to sunlight and aging can reduce collagen production.

The Miraculous Benefits of Lentils

Lentils are a powerhouse of natural ingredients that can brighten and heal the skin. They contain protein, fiber, antioxidants, and antibacterial properties that:

- Provide moisture to the skin

- Soften and hydrate the skin

- Reduce acne and blemishes

- Brighten sun-damaged skin

- Act as a gentle scrub to remove dead skin cells

How to Use Lentils for Glowing Skin

To harness the benefits of lentils, follow these simple steps:

1. Make lentil powder

2. Mix the powder with milk to create a paste

3. Apply the paste to your face

4. Leave it on for 15 minutes

5. Wash your face with lukewarm water

This lentil paste will increase collagen production, reduce large pores and leave your skin feeling soft, hydrated, and glowing. Give it a try and say goodbye to enlarged pores!
