Very wide pores on the face what to do. How to remove open pores on the face? Sugar mask with soda

Enlarged pores on the skin of the face are the number one beauty problem in teenagers, but they often bother older people too. For both age categories, we have bad news: no one has yet managed to change the size of their own pores for a long time, much less permanently. But there is good news: it’s too early to panic, something can still be done.

On the modern cosmetic market, there are a lot of tools with which you can temporarily mask the pores or reduce their diameter.

So, what could be causing the enlarged pore size?

skin type

For oily and combination skin, more pronounced pores are usually characteristic, this is due to the need to bring more products of the activity of the glands to the surface.

Heredity

Pore ​​size has been proven to be genetically determined, and genetics is known to be a stubborn thing. So if heredity is to blame, get ready for thorough skin care. If the skin is problematic or prone to oiliness, it is necessary to act in two stages:

1. 1

   get rid of excess sebum, which are concentrated in the pores;

2. 2

   exfoliate dead cells in the "risk zone".

Hormones

Another reason for enlarged pores is hormonal imbalance. Garnier brand expert Marina Kamanina believes: “A healthy glow of the skin means that the sex hormones are functioning normally. But an unnatural oily sheen may indicate that the sebaceous glands are sensitive to the male hormone testosterone, which stimulates the production of sebum.

Skin care steps for large pores

If you want to reduce the size of the pores and maintain this effect, you will need to regularly apply special cosmetics. But what the pores will definitely thank you for is the delicate exfoliation and good cleansing.

cleansing

In the morning, use a cleansing gel labeled "to shrink pores." Such products usually contain ingredients that get rid of dead cells, and components with known anti-inflammatory properties to prevent rashes. Do not abuse scrubs, peels and cleansing masks.

A real find for owners of enlarged pores is the Clarisonic device with a special brush head for washing and deep, but at the same time atraumatic cleansing of pores on the face.

Moisturizing

Even if you have oily skin, don't skip your moisturizer. It restores the hydro-lipid barrier and protects the skin throughout the day.

For dehydrated skin, stock up on products with glycolic and hyaluronic acids. This combination will provide both exfoliation and hydration.

Owners of problem skin should pay attention to the means to combat acne. But first, discuss the treatment program with a dermatologist.

Regardless of skin type, be sure to use matting wipes during the day to remove dirt and excess oil from the surface of the epidermis. Special sprays for narrowing pores may also be useful (for example, Serozinc by La Roche-Posay), which can be applied directly at the workplace.

Care cream

The type of facial skin determines the basic rules of care. There is one problem that exists in women of all age categories - these are enlarged pores on the face. This cosmetic defect is most often a sign of oily and combination skin types, and is located on the skin of the nose, forehead and chin. It is necessary to fight with enlarged pores on the face, especially since in our time there are a huge number of special cosmetics, salon procedures and folk remedies for this.

Enlarged pores on the face not only have an unattractive appearance, but also contribute to the growth of bacteria, which, in turn, causes acne. If you ignore enlarged pores, then over time they increase in size, then blackheads and pimples appear, the skin becomes “greasy” and “black dots” form. Therefore, it is necessary to fight against such a disadvantage at an early stage.

Most often, enlarged pores on the face are companions of girls during puberty and are accompanied by an inflammatory process. If there are problems in the gynecological area or in the gastrointestinal tract, inflammation may be more acute. Often enlarged pores disappear with age, but there are times when they continue to spoil life for a single year.

Causes of enlarged pores on the face.
In fact, there are plenty of reasons for the appearance of enlarged pores on the face. Their occurrence can be facilitated by genetic predisposition, hormonal disruptions, sunburn and dehydration, neglect of the procedure for cleansing the skin of impurities and dead cells or its incorrect implementation, the use of low-quality decorative cosmetics, improper use and selection of decorative cosmetics, malnutrition, bad habits, constant stress in conditions of modern life and many other factors. So, for example, due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation in the skin, the process of collagen production is disrupted, which leads to an increase in pores.

But, of course, a common cause of this cosmetic defect is the improper use of cosmetics or their irregular use.

Treatment of enlarged pores.
Enlarged pores on the face can be eliminated using a peeling procedure, due to which, as a result of cleaning the skin epithelium, all irregularities on its surface, including fine wrinkles, are leveled, and the skin of the face looks renewed. During this procedure, the keratinized layer of cells is removed, which stimulates the processes of skin regeneration, as a result of which its elasticity increases.

Chemical peels, in particular with the use of trichloroacetic acid - TCA, help to narrow pores and improve skin condition. Thanks to modern technologies and the qualifications of specialists, this type of peeling is easily tolerated even by people with sensitive skin types. During this procedure, dead cells are removed, and an active process of penetration of substances into the deeper layers of the skin occurs.

Glycolic peeling is also effective in combating enlarged pores on the face. This procedure also tightens pores, exfoliates the surface of the skin, is carried out using a solution of glycolic acid.

Enzyme peel is also a type of superficial peel that also helps to shrink pores and clear the skin. The composition of the enzyme peel contains special enzymes (bromelain, trypsin and papain), which cleanse the contents of the pores and help smooth the skin turgor.

Microdermabrasion is considered the most effective procedure, which is carried out in salons, which narrows pores, eliminates fine wrinkles and cleanses the skin of the stratum corneum of dead cells. When conducting microdermabrasion, a special scrub is used with the addition of solid microparticles. This procedure, provided that it is carried out in the salon by a professional beautician, can stimulate the production of collagen. A course of two or three procedures is considered optimal.

Cryotherapy is a fairly popular procedure in cosmetology today. It helps to activate metabolism, improves well-being and appearance in general, including the condition of the pores: there is a noticeable lightening of the skin, a decrease in sebum production, acne disappears. The most popular and most useful cryotherapy procedure is cryomassage using liquid nitrogen.

Today, devices have appeared on the market that allow you to carry out this procedure at home.

Laser facials are also a popular treatment for enlarged pores in beauty salons. In addition, this procedure eliminates age spots, the effects of acne in the form of scars, wrinkles, visibly tightens and tones the skin, promotes the production of collagen and elastin.

For deep cleansing of the skin, scrubs can be used, since they contain the smallest granules, thanks to which the skin pores are effectively cleansed and blood circulation is improved. After this procedure, the face should be washed with cold water, or wiped with ice cubes, which is one of the ways to narrow the pores. However, this procedure is not for everyone. For women who have a capillary network on their faces, this procedure will not work.

Extra care should be taken when using scrubs, as skin with enlarged pores can be easily traumatized by large particles that can be found in scrubs, which can have the opposite effect, and the pores will become even larger. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, you should choose special scrubs that are designed to cleanse skin with enlarged pores. After cleansing the skin, use a tonic.

Other cosmetics for enlarged pores.
The market of cosmetic products offers a huge selection of skin care products with enlarged pores: cleansing gels, milk, with essential oils and plant extracts (lemon, chamomile, basil, orange, clove, aloe, iris, grapefruit).

Your daily facial moisturizer should also be a special product that helps reduce pores.

And if zinc oxide is present in the lotion, then with its help you can not only narrow the pores of the skin, but also remove excess sebum.

Therefore, with the slightest damage and malfunctions, an infection can penetrate the skin, aesthetic problems arise.

Attention! If no measures are taken, enlarged pores lead to the fact that the skin becomes bumpy, becomes a gateway for the penetration of free radicals, toxins, and other harmful substances.

What are the causes of increased sebum production and enlarged pores?

1. The hereditary factor plays a big role. However, daily care and cosmetic procedures help not to aggravate the situation.
2. Often women notice changes in the skin with hormonal failure. This happens during pregnancy, menopause, menopause or puberty in girls and boys. In addition, endocrine diseases can cause a malfunction, in which case you need to visit the appropriate specialist.
3. Nutrition and regimen also play an important role: spicy, fatty, sweet foods, smoking, alcohol should be excluded or significantly reduced in your diet.

The causes of enlarged pores on the face lie both in the type of skin and in the methods of caring for it. Oily sheen and acne during maturation is a consequence of hormonal imbalance in the body. Pores clogged with a mixture of fat and dust are stretched and do not always return to their previous state if procedures are not performed to cleanse the epidermis.

You can narrow the pores at home with the help of certain procedures. Excess secretion of skin secretion is characteristic of the period of hormonal changes at any age, and not just in adolescence.

Pore ​​narrowing procedures are carried out when the ducts are free from impurities.

The skin is prepared with the help of masks and steaming with decoctions of herbs or with a warm towel.

Cosmetics for narrowing pores

People with oily skin need special cosmetics to narrow the pores.
Enlarged pores not only spoil the appearance of the face, but can also cause bacteria to multiply and, as a result, the occurrence of infection. Clogged pores are the main cause of acne, blackheads, inflammation and numerous skin diseases.

Lotions

The lotion is applied to clean skin after washing without further removal. If zinc is present in the composition, you can get rid of black dots, oily sheen, enlarged pores and purulent inflammation.

After a while after the procedure, the skin looks like a professional chemical peel was carried out in the salon. The face looks rested, fresh, and the skin becomes smooth, soft and clean from the first application.

Tonics

Cosmetologists recommend paying attention to the fact that no professional cosmetic or home remedy will narrow pores for a long time, even tonic.

A short-term narrowing of the pores definitely brings benefits. It lies in the fact that after using the tonic, the excess cream will not be absorbed into the skin, therefore, the pores will not clog, and the consumption of the cream will decrease. In addition to narrowing the pores, the tonic is able to reduce and dry the rashes.

cream

The function of the sebaceous glands is normalized after the systematic use of a special cream. It promotes healing and narrowing of pores on the face. With comprehensive care at home, the effect lasts as long as possible.

Compresses

Compresses help not only with pain in the joints, but also in giving the skin of the face health and beauty. There are a lot of varieties of compresses in cosmetology: dry, wet, oily. The method of application for all types is the same - a cloth moistened with a solution, a cotton pad or gauze is placed on the face.

The main positive properties are considered toning and recovery. In addition to beauty, an important indication for the use of compresses is health. Excessively oily and dry facial skin is a deviation from the norm.

Properly selected medicinal herbs can correct the situation forever. In the first case, it is preferable to choose yarrow, birch buds, and in the second - rose hips, chamomile and sage.

Pharmacy preparations

Dermatologists refer to ready-made pharmaceutical cosmetic preparations:

• cosmetic clay, depending on the problem and skin type;
• acetylsalicylic acid;
• zinc;
• bodyagu.

In the problem with enlarged pores, the advantage among cosmetic clay is given to white, which is simply mixed with water for use and does not lose its beneficial properties. Correction of the color and structure of the face is facilitated by the use of acetylsalicylic acid in the care, which stabilizes the function of the sebaceous glands.

Zinc is used in many lotions and creams, but also separately. Gently cleanses and does not dry, normalizes the functioning of the glands. Bodyaga is known in the fight against protruding veins and bruises, but it also, like aloe, draws dirt and fat from the skin, whitens and relieves puffiness.

These drugs eliminate oily sheen, dry acne and inflammation, narrow pores. We must not forget about the precautions, because the regular use of these drugs can greatly dry the skin. To avoid problems, you need to know the measure and additionally use moisturizers.

Ice cube treatments

It is necessary to wipe the face with ice cubes only along the massage lines, only in this way the blood will flow to the surface of the face as much as possible and bring the vessels into tone. It is important not to stay in one place for a long time, otherwise the skin will get cold and acne will appear.

This procedure should be carried out twice a day during washing. Women with dry skin type should be careful and use cosmetic ice only in the area around the eyes.

Scientists have proven that under the influence of low temperatures, superficial vessels narrow, and after seconds, blood rushes due to the expansion of deeper vessels. This is how the pores narrow and the secretion of the sebaceous glands decreases.

egg masks

The easiest and most effective option is to apply the oil evenly in a thin layer and leave for 30-60 minutes, then blot the residue with a napkin. There are recipes in which the oil remains on the skin all night.

But they should not be adhered to, because the sebaceous glands are activated at night and the oil prevents the dermis from being enriched with oxygen and, as a result, sebaceous plugs and blackheads form. It should be noted that oils nourish more than moisturize. Therefore, it is impossible to achieve the latter with their help.

steam baths

The ideal universal remedy for cleansing and restoring the water balance of the skin at home is steam baths.

Steam baths will help shrink the pores on your face. Read more about how to carry out the procedure at home below.

Pour 3/4 of hot water into a small saucepan. The face is tilted at the level of 40 cm and covered with a towel or blanket for 5-20 minutes, depending on the type of skin. Oily requires more time for steaming and cleansing, dry - less. Before starting, it is necessary to lubricate the area around the eyes with a greasy cream. Essential oils of chamomile, lavender or eucalyptus are added to the water if desired.

Hot steam promotes the expansion of the sebaceous glands and the removal of toxins to the outside, providing a subsequent narrowing of the pores. After this procedure at home, the skin of the face is ready to better absorb the nutrients of both masks and creams.

Skin care after procedures

According to the recommendations of leading cosmetologists, you need to wash your face in the morning only with melted or mineral water. After numerous studies, it was found that this method of washing creates an acidic environment on the skin, providing protection from bacteria after cleansing.
