Lately, I've been feeling concerned because my pores have become larger. Even with makeup and multiple layers of foundation, they seem to be more prominent. The pores are more prominent, making my skin look less clean, and that's been stressing me out. So I looked into some pore care methods.

Today, I'll explain everything from the causes of enlarged pores to home care methods for pore management, and even treatments you can get from a dermatologist!

1. Causes of enlarged pores

Pores can become enlarged and stretched for a variety of reasons. Let me explain some of the causes.

 

1) Effect of ultraviolet rays

UV rays can cause pores to enlarge. They say that when UV rays reach the dermis, they destroy collagen and elastin, causing the skin to lose elasticity, which can easily cause the area around pores to sag.

 

2) Excessive sebum secretion

Excessive sebum production can also cause enlarged pores. Excessive sebum production can clog pores and cause inflammation, which can lead to enlarged pores.

 

3) Dry skin

In winter, the air is dry, and excessive heating can also dry out indoor air, which can lead to dry skin. Dry skin can lose elasticity and enlarge pores.

 

4) Incorrect extrusion and stimulation

Additionally, frequent extrusion, excessive scrubbing, etc. can irritate the skin and cause pores to become larger.

2. How to manage pores at home

It's important to manage your pores correctly, as improper pore care can actually cause them to become larger. Here are some home pore care tips you can try.

 

1) Low-irritation face wash

It's said that gentle cleansing is crucial for pore care in everyday life. It's important to be careful, as using a cleanser with too much cleansing power can damage the skin barrier and make pores appear more prominent. Therefore, it's recommended to use a gentle, gentle cleanser when washing your face.

2) UV protection

Because UV rays can enlarge pores, it's important to diligently apply sunscreen to maintain pore health. Sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes before going outside, and reapplying every two hours is recommended.

3) Skin moisturizing care

Additionally, since dry skin can lead to loss of elasticity and enlarged pores, paying attention to moisturizing skin is said to be helpful for pore care. It's important to drink plenty of water regularly and apply a moisturizing cream or moisturizer after washing your face to keep your skin hydrated.

4) No habit of squeezing sebum

Be careful not to squeeze the sebum out of your pores with your hands. Squeezing the sebum out with your hands can irritate the skin around the pores, causing them to become even larger. Therefore, it's important to avoid squeezing the sebum out.

3. Pore care dermatological treatment

4. Q&A

1) If I use a nose pack frequently, will my pores get bigger?

Repeated use of nose packs can cause pores to become even larger. Because nose packs physically extract sebum, they can cause damage to pore walls and enlargement, so caution is advised.

 

2) Why do pores look especially large in the summer?

: In summer, high temperatures and humidity cause sebum temperature to rise, increasing sebum production. This increased sebum production can cause some sebum to accumulate in pores, making them appear larger.
