What are the causes of enlarged pores and how to shrink them?

If you don't clean your skin thoroughly before going to bed at night, dirt will always be blocked in the pores; but excessive cleansing will also make the pores larger. For example, if you take out a deep cleansing mask as soon as you produce some oil, this deep cleansing mask needs to enlarge the pores before it can clean the oil in the skin. The correct way is to use some astringent water after cleansing.

What are the causes of enlarged pores?

The main reasons for enlarged pores and unclear skin are external and internal.

1. External reasons.

(1) Pollutants clog the pores of the skin, preventing the skin from metabolizing smoothly, and the pores will gradually become larger.

(2) Air that is too dry directly causes the skin to become dehydrated and also causes enlarged pores.

2. Personal reasons.

(1) Oily skin produces too much oil or too quickly, which directly affects the size of skin pores.

(2) Improper use of cosmetics or medications can make the skin rougher.

(3) If you do not clean your skin thoroughly before going to bed at night, dirt will remain clogged in your pores. However, excessive cleansing can also make your pores larger. For example, if you take out a deep cleansing mask as soon as you produce some oil, this deep cleansing mask needs to expand the pores before it can clean the oil in the skin. The correct way is to use some astringent water after cleansing.

(4) Unhealthy lifestyle habits, staying up late and getting up late, smoking and drinking can make your skin worse.

(5) If the skin becomes loose and aged but is not cared for in time, wrinkles and spots will appear and the pores will become larger and larger.

(6) After being infected with mites, the mites will crawl to the opening of the hair follicles at night, which can easily irritate the pores and enlarge them.
