Why do the pores on our skin become larger? How to shrink pores?

Why do the pores on our skin become larger? The main points are as follows:

1. The Sorrows of Young Werther - Why does the skin start to become oily and the openings of hair follicles become as large as volcanic craters during puberty? Will you never have skin as delicate as a baby's again?

During adolescence, under the influence of hormones, the sebaceous glands become very active, and they work overtime every day, which makes their skin greasy. These oils will stimulate the ducts of the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles, making the pores larger so that the oil can be discharged smoothly. Therefore, enlarged pores during adolescence are related to excessive oil.

2. The pain of menopause - When I was young, my skin was always very good and I never had acne. Everyone loved me and flowers bloomed wherever I went. Why is it that when I reach menopause, my skin becomes loose and my pores become as bumpy as orange peel?

The collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the dermis together construct the three-dimensional structure of the skin, providing elasticity and tension to the skin while making the skin full and plump. As we age, the synthesis of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and other proteins in the dermis decreases and their loss increases, just like the filling material in a Simmons mattress is gradually hollowed out. Without support, the skin will gradually shrink, and the ducts of the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles will naturally expand outward and gradually become larger without external pressure. As the saying goes, 20-year-old women are like apples, and 50-year-old women are like oranges. Therefore, enlarged pores in the elderly are related to skin atrophy.

3. Is there any good way to completely solve the problem of enlarged pores?

For young people with enlarged pores, it acts on the sebaceous glands to inhibit excessive oil secretion; kills acne bacteria and reduces skin inflammation; promotes normal keratinization of the epithelium and improves the phenomenon of clogged pores. It can peel off part of the skin in a dotted manner to stimulate the synthesis of new collagen, so it can solve the problem of enlarged pores in young people from the root.

4. Can astringent water and lotion shrink pores? The advertisement says that you can shrink your pores by patting them, but why do my pores become bigger the more I pat them?

The main cosmetic ingredients with astringent effects are alcohols (alcohol, denatured ethanol, propanol), acids (salicylic acid, glycolic acid), enzymes and plant extracts. Alcohols can inhibit the secretion of oil, acids can inhibit the keratinization of hair follicles, enzymes can decompose keratin to make the skin tender, and plant extracts generally have astringent and antioxidant effects. Generally speaking, the astringent effect of cosmetics is limited and lasts for a very short time (no more than 8 minutes), because excessive oil secretion is caused by hormones (internal cause). No matter what products are applied externally, it is difficult to completely suppress the sebaceous glands, the super factory. Moreover, some ingredients in astringent water are irritating. If used too frequently, it will cause skin inflammation, excessive oil secretion and enlarged pores.

5. I heard that applying cucumber, egg white, and honey can reduce pores. Is it true?

Many celebrities and beautiful girls are keen on this. DIY saves money and is fun, but the efficacy is indeed limited, so it is not recommended.

6. Why don’t my pores shrink after using a needle to remove blackheads or using a peel-off nose patch?

The reason is the same. Although the blocked keratin plugs are discharged, a large amount of sebum is secreted afterwards, which will still stimulate the enlargement of pores. Therefore, to find the most effective method, we have to get to the root of the problem - intense pulsed light can thoroughly control oil and cure enlarged pores.

7. Will there be any side effects if I use BB cream/CC cream/concealing cream/foundation for a long time to cover large pores? Look at the female roles in Peking Opera and the Japanese geishas. They have snow-white and delicate faces without any flaws, which is really enviable. Although I can’t wear such heavy makeup in my daily life, BB cream can cover up large pores and acne marks, allowing me to regain my confidence. The workplace is like a battlefield. If you are not careful, you may lose your job at best, or even your boyfriend at worst. But wearing makeup for a long time won’t make me age prematurely, right?

If you must wear makeup regularly, you must cleanse your skin thoroughly, not only to remove the cosmetics remaining on the surface of the skin, but also to thoroughly clean the residues in the pores of the hair follicles. When choosing cosmetics, try to choose high-end brands.

8. What foods can prevent enlarged pores?

Foods rich in vitamin A or carotene (which can be converted into vitamin A in the body), such as red vegetables and fruits, can inhibit sebum secretion and reduce the formation of keratin plugs. In addition, eating less fatty, greasy and spicy food, and eating more seafood and vegetables can improve enlarged pores.

9.What else should I pay attention to?

Avoid sun exposure (excessive ultraviolet radiation can accelerate skin aging), maintain a happy mood, don't smoke, don't drink, don't stay up late, don't apply skin care products indiscriminately, and reduce the burden on the skin.
