There are many reasons for enlarged pores. Daily care for enlarged pores skin

The formation of pores can be caused by congenital factors or acquired factors such as careless skin care habits. There are different pore care techniques for each different cause of enlarged pores.

There are many reasons for enlarged pores

1. Excessive sebum secretion

Excessive sebum secretion is the most common cause. The secretion of sebum may be related to the environment, hormones, and even genes (genes affect oily or dry skin). The oilier the skin, the more likely the pores are to become larger, because oil can easily clog the pores, forming blackheads or pimples. Over time, the pores will become larger and larger.

2. Improper skin care behavior

Squeezing, picking, scratching, picking and pulling the skin may cause damage or even infection to the skin, resulting in enlarged pores.

3. Skin aging

As the skin ages, it loses its elasticity and the loss of elastic fibers/collagen causes the skin's supporting structure to be unable to function properly, making pores more prominent.

4. Unhealthy lifestyle

In addition to the above-mentioned factors and the environment, the secretion of sebaceous glands is also affected by daily diet (spicy, irritating and greasy food), rest and sleep status (lack of sleep), mood (tension, anxiety, depression and irritability), etc., which lead to increased sebum secretion and aggravated problem of enlarged pores.

Daily care for skin with enlarged pores

1. Clean thoroughly

You must not be careless when removing makeup and cleansing your face. Only thorough cleansing can effectively inhibit enlarged pores. Otherwise, if the cleansing is not thorough, dirt will accumulate and keratinization will occur, which will cause big trouble. Exfoliate regularly, clean your skin regularly, and develop healthy living habits.

2. About maintenance

Using cotton pads can better and more comprehensively apply makeup to the entire face, even to the corners, and it can also save toner. In addition, applying too many skin care products will only make the pore problem worse. Thick skin care products will block the pores from breathing and will make the pores larger.
