Lemongrass is an astringent herb, which temporarily constricts the skin, minimizes pores, and limits the secretion of oil/ Lemongrass also has anti-bacterial and anti-microbial compounds, which can help to prevent skin infections. You can infuse lemongrass leaves by adding them to boiling water and making a steam for your face, which will open the pores, remove blackheads, and clear up acne.
