Can aloe vera gel shrink pores?

Large pores have always been the natural enemy of beauty-conscious girls. Large pores can hide blackheads and oil, making the entire face appear rough and greasy. Even if the dirt in the pores is removed, if the problem of large pores is not solved, the pores will still be clogged with oil over time. Therefore, shrinking pores is the best way to maintain your skin. Aloe vera gel is a skin care product used by many people. So, can aloe vera gel shrink pores?

Aloe vera gel can shrink pores, but the effect is not very good. From its function point of view, aloe vera gel is used to hydrate the skin. Although enlarged pores are related to lack of water on the skin, the real reason is incomplete skin cleansing, clogged pores inside the skin, garbage accumulation, and imbalance of water and oil. First, you should know that the main cause of enlarged pores is excessive sebum secretion, which is usually caused by hormonal imbalance, life stress, and external environment such as pollution, heat, and humidity. In addition, as we age, our skin gradually loses its elasticity, and the supporting structure around the hair follicles is insufficient, which can easily make the skin look like it has many pits. In addition, the skin condition of being oily on the outside and dry on the inside can also make the originally delicate pores become enlarged. Therefore, people with oily skin generally have larger pores. If aloe vera gel is used for a long time without being cleaned in time, it will cause the skin pores to be clogged and become larger and larger.

Aloe vera gel is not without help in shrinking pores, but this is not its main function. When people's facial skin secretes a lot of oil, if it is not cleaned thoroughly and the skin is not moisturized in time, it will cause an imbalance of water and oil in the skin. Over time, the pores will become larger. Dermatologists point out that pores can indeed be shrunk. The key lies in the sufficient water retention between skin cells, which makes the gaps between cells smaller. After being pushed toward the epidermis, the pores will naturally become smaller.

The texture of aloe vera gel is relatively sticky and thick, so it is not recommended for people with oily skin and large pores to use it frequently. Aloe vera has the effect of calming the skin and reducing inflammation, and is very helpful in improving oily skin and acne. For oily skin, aloe vera water is better than aloe vera gel.
