Large pores can be a problem for most people, but with the right skincare routine, most can have beautiful, youthful skin. Here are important steps to take in your daily skincare regimen to keep pore size to a minimum and reduce the look of enlarged pores. And if you haven’t already started, there is nothing that is more important for healthy, glowing skin than a clean face!
Cleanse- Don’t use your skincare products. Although it is necessary, a normal cleanser will not remove any allergens or pollution on your skin. It will, however, remove the dead skin cells, dirt, oil, makeup, and anything else that isn’t part of the natural function of your skin. If you are using a skincare product, make sure it is specifically formulated to cleanse and tone down the excess skin oil that has been accumulating over time.
Moisturize- Use your skincare products only after washing. This is because too much moisture can actually clog your pores. There are times when your skin has oily glands that go unused because they have been blocked, but this is not one of those times.
Air-dry- Yes, this means that you need to expose your skin to the sun. However, we are talking about your face here. You need to air dry your face while it is still damp so that your skin doesn’t dry out.
Moisturize- Add a moisturizer after your body is exposed to the sun. In some instances, there may be an exception, but for the most part, it’s very important that you use a moisturizer. The reason is that your skin produces more oil when your body is wet. When it becomes dry, your skin will become clogged and your pores will be larger.
This isn’t a complete list of steps to take in your daily skincare routine. But this will help ensure that your skin stays moist. When your skin becomes excessively dry, the sebum (the oil that your body produces) begins to deposit at the skin surface. This will cause blockages in your pores, which can contribute to pimples, blackheads, and other types of blemishes.
Blackheads, on the other hand, are caused by bacteria that have gotten into the pores. So, it’s best to avoid sweating because this also can contribute to the development of blackheads and pimples.
How Do I Get Rid of Large Pores? Fortunately, there are a few simple home remedies you can try to naturally remove pore-increasing skin conditions such as zits, blackheads, and pimples. You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on expensive over-the-counter medications.
Drink water to hydrate your skin- Most people know this one, but many people don’t apply it. Water will easily remove excess oils and toxins from your skin, which will stop the accumulation of dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria. Excessive oil is the main factor in the development of large pores. When it’s removed, you will notice a drastic decrease in your skin’s appearance.
Excessive sweating will also improve with the reduction of oil production.
Take control of your diet- An ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure, especially when it comes to skin problems. Eat foods that have plenty of zinc, vitamin E, and vitamin C. These are foods that are known to prevent the production of excess oil. Adding them to your diet will improve your complexion without the need for prescription medications.
There are tons of high-quality creams that will work wonders on your skin. So, don’t fret, start now and take back control of your beautiful, youthful skin!
