What to do if your skin has enlarged pores in summer

Due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, people's skin has larger pores in summer than in winter in order to better breathe and dissipate heat. Also, the weather is very hot and humid, and people often sweat and produce oil, so the problem of enlarged pores is very common in summer. Many people are very worried about how to solve this problem. Enlarged pores not only make your skin look very old, but also cause other skin problems. So what should you do if your skin has enlarged pores in summer?

Causes of enlarged pores:

1. Blockage by dirt. The skin surface and keratin usually fall off naturally. However, if the metabolism is unfavorable and the skin cannot be shed as expected, the pores will enlarge.

2. Excessive squeezing of pimples. If too much sebum accumulates in the skin follicles and the pores are blocked by dirt, purulent bacteria are likely to occur and the hair follicles may become inflamed, causing more and more blackheads. If you squeeze acne excessively, the epidermis will be easily damaged. In addition, the dermis has no regeneration function. Once the dermis is damaged, it will be difficult to repair and leave bumpy scars, making the pores larger.

3. Apply irritating and medicated cosmetics. Long-term use of strong bactericidal or astringent lotions and anti-inflammatory products will make the pores more blocked and oil cannot be excreted. Without proper care, the blockage will become more and more serious and the pores will become larger.

4. People with naturally large pores due to excessive sebum secretion. Generally, people with very oily skin have strong oil secretion and naturally larger pores, which are mostly distributed around the nose, chin, and forehead. They are also most prone to acne. If cleaning and maintenance are not done thoroughly and in time, the more skin and dead cells block the pores, the larger the pores will be.

Targeted care:

1. Do not use skin care products containing strong anti-inflammatory or bactericidal ingredients. Such ingredients can easily destroy the essence of the skin, causing the skin to lose its resistance and clog the pores. The larger the pores, the more obvious the problem of melanin deposition.

2. Do not use alkaline facial soap or soap. Excessively strong alkaline ingredients can easily irritate pores and make them larger, and the epidermis becomes dry and tight, prone to sensitivity and the development of fine wrinkles.

3. Strengthen mask cleaning and care. If you are born with large pores, although you cannot completely improve the nature of your skin, you can regularly use a facial mask to cleanse your skin to prevent bacterial infection and avoid larger pores and earlier aging.

Generally speaking, people with oily skin are more likely to have enlarged pores. Because oily skin has more sebaceous glands, it absorbs more dirt than normal skin. If the cleaning work is not done carefully, the chances of pores being blocked and enlarged will be higher. Therefore, regular deep cleaning and exfoliation becomes particularly important. But it doesn’t mean that people with non-oily skin don’t need to do this step. Deep cleansing is a must for men and women, oily or dry skin types. The only difference is the frequency.

What should we do if our skin has enlarged pores in summer? In fact, if we want to solve a problem, we need to understand why this problem occurs. Therefore, when solving the problem of enlarged pores, we must understand what causes this situation, so that we can provide targeted treatment to avoid bad situations. Large pores are a major skin problem for women, so in addition to normal skin care, dietary conditioning is also very necessary.
