How to improve oily skin with large pores? Avoid these misunderstandings and shrink pores cleverly

Many people with oily skin are most likely to have enlarged pores, so is there any way to shrink the pores? Below I will introduce some methods to improve enlarged pores, let’s take a look.

How to improve enlarged pores on oily skin

First, find the correct way to wash your face. You need to clean your skin 2-3 times a day, and you can use warm water; find the correct way to wipe your face. In fact, the best way to wipe your face is not to wipe your face, but to let it dry naturally; the food we consume every day not only affects our physical health, but also our skin condition. Therefore, in order to improve oily skin, try not to overeat and eat less irritating food.

Misunderstandings of caring for oily skin with large pores

Myth 1: As we age, oil release slows down

The pore tissue itself is not elastic. When too much oil accumulates in the hair follicle channel for a long time, the hair follicle channel will cause long-term expansion. At this time, even though oil release is reduced, the hair follicle channel will not return to its original state. At the same time, as we age, the fibrous tissue of the dermis gradually loses its elasticity, causing a sudden drop in external pressure in the hair follicle channel, further aggravating the problem of enlarged pores. Therefore, the problem of enlarged pores in oily/combination skin cannot be ignored.

Myth 2: Using toner can tighten pores

Just using toner is not enough. Only by starting from the cause of enlarged pores, inhibiting the release of oil from the root cause, and unblocking the hair follicle channels can we achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Myth 3: Night cream is too greasy and not suitable for oily/combination skin

This is a misunderstanding. Studies have found that sebaceous glands are more active at night. Therefore, oily/combination skin especially needs to use special skin care products for the night, in order to better inhibit the release of oil, to reduce the oily skin surface during the day, and effectively alleviate skin problems such as acne, oiliness, and enlarged pores.

Myth 4: Skin is more oily during the day, so oil control is only necessary during the day

The oily appearance of the skin during the day is all released by the sebaceous glands at night. Therefore, only by carrying out targeted protection at night can you better control the oiliness of the skin's surface during the day.

Myth 5: Just use an oil-free cream during the day

According to the characteristics of sebaceous glands, oily/combination skin needs to use different creams at night and during the day to improve skin problems:

Night: Inhibits sebaceous gland activity, reduces oil release, and reduces the oiliness on the skin's surface the next day.

During the day: Controls the appearance of oiliness on the skin and gives the skin a satisfying matte tone.
