. Steaming can help open your pores and make it easier to remove the debris. The heat from the steam will soften the hardened oils in your pores, allowing you to extract them. After washing your face, pour boiling water into a heat-safe bowl. Add a few drops of essential oils if you'd like. Drape a towel over your head, then bend over the bowl. Allow the steam to seep into your skin for 5-10 minutes. Follow your steam with a nose strip or face mask. If you use essential oils, only add 2-3 drops of oil into the water. Look for an essential oil that meets your skin needs. Tea tree, ylang ylang, rosemary, and geranium oil are all great options for reducing oil production and clearing away bacteria. Geranium oil also tightens skin, which can help reduce the look of pores. You can steam your face as often as two times a week. After you steam your face, use a pore cleaning nose strip to remove the debris. Follow the directions on the product's packaging to apply and remove the nose strip. Once the strip has dried on your nose, you should pull it away to reveal grey, black, and white specs of oil and dirt that came out of your pores. Rinse your nose afterwards. You can use nose strips as often as every three days, but over use of the strips can cause dryness. While you can use a mask on your entire face, doing so too often can dry out your skin. Your nose or t-zone may be more oily than the rest of your face, and using a clay mask regularly on just your nose can help strip away some of the oils and reduce the look of your pores. Apply a thin layer of the mask to your nose, and let it dry for several minutes before washing it away. Use your spot treatment mask up to three or four times a week. Reduce your usage if your nose starts to feel dry. If you have combination skin, you can use a clay mask on your whole face one or two times per week, though you should always follow the instructions on your individual mask. An egg white mask will tighten your skin, which reduces the look of pores. To make an egg white mask, mix an egg white with one teaspoon (5 ml) of lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of honey. Apply the mixture to your nose and let it dry for 10-15 minutes, then gently remove it with warm water. You will just use the egg white. To separate it from the yolk, break the egg in half. Pour the half that doesn't have the yolk into a bowl. Then gently pour the yolk into the empty half-shell, allowing the remaining white part to flow into the bowl. Use the mask no more than once a week to avoid drying out your skin. While they won't shrink your pores, oil blotting strips will remove oils. This serves two purposes. One, it will make your pores slightly less noticeable. Two, it will reduce the oils on your face, which can help prevent them from building up in your pores.

Summary: Steam your face Use nose strips. Spot treat your nose with a clay mask. Try an egg white mask. Use oil blotting strips to reduce oils on your nose.

Remove the hair catcher or filter from an affected shower drain and clean it out thoroughly, removing all the hair tangled inside it. The key in destroying the drain fly's breeding ground is removing all hair, grime, and debris that the flies might lay their eggs in. Pour 1 to 2 gallons (4 to 8 liters) of warm water into the drain to moisten it slightly. Note that this is only needed if the drain is not used on a regular basis. Drains used on a daily basis are moist enough without taking additional measurements. Work a metal pipe brush into the drain, extending it as far down into the drain as possible. Twist the brush while slowly moving it up and down to remove grime from the sides of the pipe. Insert a plumbing snake into the drain and twist it through the pipes to pull out clumps of grime that lie further down. Apply roughly 4 oz (125 ml) of the cleaner around the edge of the drain. Applying the cleaner to the edge of the drain allows it to coat the sides of the drain and pipe as it glides down. Gel cleaners are formulated to remove organic matter. You could also use enzyme or bacterial drain cleaners to remove organic material. Vinegar, boiling water, and bleach are traditional remedies for getting rid of drain flies, but many experts insist that these methods are not effective. Baking soda and vinegar poured down the drain may kill the flies; it will clean the drain at least. You may need to repeat the same dosage of drain cleaner once a day for five to seven days total. After the drain cleaner has sat in the sink for several hours, flush it through with plenty of water. Use a plunger to remove any remaining organic matter trapped in the sink.
Summary: Clean the hair catcher, if applicable. Moisten the drain, if necessary. Use a metal pipe brush. Fish out other grime with a plumbing snake. Pour a gel drain cleaner into the drain. Finish up with a plunger.
