What to do if you have too many pores on your face

People generally envy babies' skin because it is very delicate and smooth. You can hardly find pores on a baby's face. However, most adults have pore problems on their faces, such as very large pores. The problem of enlarged pores must be properly solved. What should I do if I have too many pores on my face? Here are some ways to solve the problem of pores on the face.

Use cleansing masks and steam your face to unclog pores

Summer is the season when sebaceous glands secrete oil actively. People with oily skin should steam their face and use a cleansing mask 2 to 3 times a week to unclog pores and remove oil. For combination skin, you can do it 1 to 2 times a week. For dry skin, you can do it once every two weeks. The purpose of facial cleansing mask is to use the "stuffy" force to soften the semi-solidified sebum at the pore openings. The goal is to unclog the oil ducts of sebum metabolism and keep the pores clean.

Correct use of fruit acid products

Choose products containing fruit acid to dissolve the excessive keratin at the pore openings and pore walls. Fruit acid is somewhat irritating, so people with sensitive skin should use it with caution. When choosing fruit acid products, you should follow three principles: reasonable concentration (6%~10%) + required acidity (pH3~pH4) + intensive and continuous use for 10 days to half a month. If you work hard for three days and then stop for two days, not only will you not see any good results, but it will also cause skin sensitivity, which is not worth the effort.

Select ingredients that have the ability to soften sebum dirt

Choosing cleansing products containing sebum-decomposing enzyme ingredients will make it easier to remove sebum dirt when washing or steaming your face.

Choose a non-thick keratinizing product

Regular use of products containing keratinase can ensure the effect of longitudinal infiltration of the pores. Currently on the market, products containing keratinase are mainly cleaning products, such as facial cleansers and facial cleansing powders. The second largest group is skin care products that need to be washed off after facial application, mostly toners and essences.

When using enzyme exfoliating products, such as facial cleansers or facial compresses, the best effect will be achieved by keeping the skin warm and applying them in a warm environment, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced. The texture should also be refreshing. If it is too thick, it is because large molecular glue has been added to the product, which will hinder the effect of keratinase. Keratinase is gentler than granular exfoliating products and fruit acid exfoliating products, so it is suitable for relatively sensitive skin.

The methods introduced above can solve the problem of enlarged pores on the face, but if the problem cannot be solved well, it will definitely make us feel unconfident, because if the skin is not good, we will not be beautiful. So what are the specific reasons for enlarged pores?

Causes of Enlarged Pores

Applying too much skin care products

The maintenance steps are over-stacked and too much application is always done. The "pores", the skin's important communication channels with the outside world, expand under the heavy use of skin care products, trying to adjust the skin to the most suitable condition.

Urgent need: Immediately change the habit of applying more than 4 bottles of skin care products each time. If you always feel that your pores appear larger after applying certain essences and creams, it is probably because you apply too much. It is better to use less.

Used airtight foundation, primer, and sunscreen

For those who spend a long time on makeup, over-reliance on lotions, ointments, creams and foundations or isolation milks will cause long-term "stuffy" abuse to the skin's pores. Not only can the pores not breathe, but the sebum metabolites inside will also have no channels to vent, so the sebum that is slowly metabolized for 8 hours a day is blocked at the exit, waiting for the opportunity to be discharged. Of course, the temporary shelter of the pores will become larger and larger! And high-factor sunscreen will also become one of the culprits of clogging pores in the summer.

Urgent need: Try not to use foundation in summer, or apply only a thin layer. Sunscreen should contain titanium dioxide, and the sun protection factor should not exceed SPF30/PA+++, because sunscreen with too high a factor simply stacks various sun protection ingredients together, which will cause excessive irritation to the skin, cause sensitivity and clog pores.

I work hard on my makeup but I am too lazy to remove it completely

To remove makeup, of course, you just need to clean all the makeup and dirt on your face. However, this makeup removal step does not absolutely clean the pore funnel area and is not a comprehensive makeup removal step. In addition to daily makeup removal, you should also include a deep cleansing facial mask in your weekly care.

Urgent matter: The longer you put on makeup, the more oily your skin is, and the more airtight your foundation is, the greater your need for deep pore cleansing facial masks in addition to makeup removal, and the more frequent the cleansing facial masks (or steaming the face) should be. It is recommended to use a mud cleansing mask twice a week in the summer.

If we are used to wearing makeup, we must remember to remove it, because it is really important, otherwise our pores will be clogged, which is really not worth the loss, so makeup removal cannot be ignored.

Favorite Strong Oil-Removing Facial Cleanser

I only choose facial cleansers that are designed for oily skin and have strong cleansing power, and I believe that it is normal for the skin to feel rough after washing. Long-term excessive cleansing will only wash away the lipids between keratin cells that cannot be replaced, and will have no effect on the oil supply system of the sebaceous glands, the oil depot. Therefore, washing your skin frequently will only cause the stratum corneum on the surface of the skin to lose its effective moisturizing ability, making the skin "oily on the outside and dry on the inside".

Urgent need: Stay away from alkaline facial soaps and strong cleansers, and switch to a mild facial cleanser. Do more cleansing facial masks, mud masks, and DIY ground mung bean powder can all unclog pores, help clean pores, and make oil metabolism smoother.

Refill powder at any time, never leave the powder puff

If you keep applying powder, it will be difficult for your pores to breathe. The makeup effect of pressed powder and loose powder is often described as "fitting". Liquid foundation and cream makeup are often judged by how well they "blend" into the skin. Therefore, using pressed powder or loose powder alone will not show the texture of the foundation. However, using liquid foundation alone will not make your skin look as delicate as a porcelain doll. Therefore, as long as the skin of the beauty-conscious girls is slightly oily or they sweat, they will keep touching up their makeup. Although they are applying "stick" powder, for the pores, the drainage channel that has been cleared with great difficulty will be immediately blocked again.

Urgent matter: only touch up your makeup before dates and important social events, and give your skin more room to breathe and excrete. Remove your makeup as soon as you get home, and don’t wear makeup on weekends to give your pores a chance to breathe.

Conclusion: Our enlarged pores are actually caused by ourselves. We do not give the pores time to breathe freely, so problems arise. If we can stick to the methods introduced above, it will definitely help us to better care for our skin. I hope the methods introduced above can help us care for our skin.
