Clean ladies mostly tackling pores (9)
I believe the answer is:
wholesome
'clean' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'ladies mostly tackling pores' is the wordplay.
'ladies' becomes 'women' (I've seen this before).
'mostly' means to remove the last letter.
'tackling' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'pores' becomes 'holes'.
'women' with its final letter taken away is 'wome'.
'wome' enclosing 'holes' is 'WHOLESOME'.
(Other definitions for wholesome that I've seen before include "Respectable" , "Moral" , "Healthy in body, taste or morals" , "Previously propitious" , "Good for you!" .)
