What to do if makeup clogs your pores

Many friends usually find that their pores are clogged, which easily leads to the formation of blackheads. Many girls who love beauty are very distressed, especially those who often have to face the computer. The skin is prone to some problems. So when the problem occurs, we must find out the cause and find a way to solve it. What should we do if makeup clogs the pores?

Causes of clogged pores:

1: Improper care or wrong cleansing methods will cause irregular keratinization of the epidermis, resulting in waste being unable to be completely discharged from the hair follicles, thus accumulating on the epidermis and causing enlarged pores.

2: Oily and combination skin have more sebum secretion, which is also a major cause of enlarged pores. If not properly cared for, not only will the pores become larger, but it may also cause problems such as frequent acne and pimples.

3: The condition of the skin will also be affected by diet. For example, eating spicy and fried foods frequently will make the skin hot and promote more sebum secretion, thereby clogging the pores.

Solution to clogged pores:

Cleansing

Use a cleanser with an appropriate pH value to wash your face. There are different types of facial cleansers on the market: some come in gel or lotion form, while others come in solid block form. Choose a facial cleanser that suits your skin type, massage gently for one to two minutes, and then rinse thoroughly to clear clogged pores.

Cleansing/softening

After cleansing, you can use toner or softener to remove makeup residue and nourish the skin. Natural products such as those containing tea tree oil and witch hazel are good, they have antibacterial and astringent effects on the skin.

Exfoliation

The dead skin on the face must be cleaned in time to improve the permeability of the skin. Products that remove dead skin cells include facial masks and creams, which can remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell regeneration at the same time. In addition to keeping your face clean, you should try to avoid the habit of squeezing your puss with your hands. Try to use pore cleansing strips to remove any residue from your pores.

Use deep pore cleansing products

To solve the problem of clogged pores, you can use deep pore cleansing products, such as micro-foam cleansers, which contain high-efficiency surfactants (but should not stimulate the skin's oil secretion, such as soap-based products); if possible, you can add some pearl powder and mix it with the cleanser, which will thoroughly clean the pores. In order to avoid skin damage, it is recommended to use pearl powder from famous brands such as Changshengniao and Shangyao.

Get enough sleep

Sleeping too long will slow down blood circulation, cause water retention, make the skin loose, and make the pores look large and scary. Too little sleep can also cause poor skin metabolism, rough and dull skin, and enlarged pores. Generally, adults should sleep 8 to 9 hours a day. Remember not to stay up late and miss the golden period for skin repair.

Control oil secretion

Some girls think that the cleaner the oil is washed, the better. In fact, this is totally wrong. Sebum is an essential substance for the human body, and people secrete it to moisturize their skin. If there is too little oil, the skin will become dry and cracked! That's why normal skin needs to maintain a balance of oil and water. The skin actually needs a proper amount of oil. Some oily girls wash off all the oil, which will stimulate the sebaceous glands to accelerate the secretion of oil, so the more they control it, the oilier it becomes. The correct way to control oil is to wash off the oil and add an appropriate amount of water and oil. This way, the skin's oil secretion function will be gradually suppressed, the oil secretion will be reduced, and shrinking pores will be a natural result!

Don’t squeeze the blackheads in your pores all the time

Frequently squeezing the blackheads in the pores will make the pores bigger. To remove blackheads, you should use special blackhead removal products. After removing the blackheads, you should also use astringent water to shrink the pores.

The above is an introduction on what to do when your pores are clogged with makeup. When we find that our pores are clogged, we must use scientific methods to deal with it. We must learn to regulate our skin quality and maintain a happy mood. We must also pay attention to a light diet in our daily life. This is very helpful for improving the skin.
