I've been paying extra attention to my cleansing routine for pore care, but it feels like my skin has actually gotten drier.

Lately, I've been concerned about my pores, so I've been investing heavily in pore care. I've been cleansing more thoroughly, especially to manage them, but I'm worried because my skin seems to have become drier.

I used to wash my face simply, but after reading posts about the importance of pore care, I changed my cleansing product and increased the time I spent washing my face. However, recently, my skin feels tight, and sometimes it seems to turn red.

Could this happen if I overdo pore care? I thought I needed to thoroughly remove impurities from my pores, but I'm worried after hearing that it could actually weaken the skin barrier.

I am also curious about the appropriate amount of cleansing to do while caring for my pores. I would like to know if it is better to cleanse thoroughly morning and evening, or if I should adjust the frequency according to my skin condition.

For those of you with a lot of experience in pore care, how do you balance cleansing and moisturizing? I am concerned about my pores, but I don't want my skin to become sensitive, haha.

If anyone else has experienced dryness while doing pore care like I did, please let me know how you resolved it. Even a small tip would be a great help. I look forward to hearing about your experiences.
