Have you ever noticed that every time you look in the mirror, your pores seem larger and more sagging? I've been concerned about my pores recently, as they seem to be getting larger and more sagging. Apparently, enlarged pores can be caused by a variety of factors. Stressed by my enlarged pores, I've been researching ways to manage them.

Today, I will explain everything from the causes of enlarged pores to home care methods for pore management, and even dermatological treatments related to pores!

1. Causes of enlarged pores

1) Loss of skin elasticity

One cause of enlarged pores is said to be a loss of skin elasticity. A decrease in collagen and elastin in the skin weakens the structures that support pores, leading to enlarged pores.

 

2) Excessive sebum secretion

Excessive sebum production can also cause pores to become enlarged and stretched. Excessive sebum production can clog pores, causing inflammation and expanding the pore structure.

 

3) UV exposure

UV rays can also cause pores to enlarge. They say UV rays penetrate the dermis, destroying collagen and elastin. This causes skin to lose elasticity, which can easily cause the area around pores to sag.

2. How to manage pores at home

Taking care of your pores in your daily life can also help prevent them from becoming enlarged. Here are some home pore care tips.

 

1) Removal of waste products from pores

It's recommended to use a steam towel about once a week to thoroughly cleanse pores of waste and sebum. Soak a towel in water, wring it out, heat it in the microwave for about 30 seconds, gently place the towel on your face, and then remove it once it cools.

 

2) No habit of squeezing sebum

They say you should never squeeze the sebum from your pores with your hands. Doing so can damage your skin and actually cause the pores to become larger, so be careful.

 

3) Use sunscreen

It is said that it is important to thoroughly apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside because UV rays can affect the enlargement of pores.

4) Moisturizing and soothing

As skin becomes dry, elasticity decreases and pores become more prominent, so using a moisturizing cream or moisturizer to maintain moisture in the skin can help manage pores.

 

👉Check out cosmetics that help with skin elasticity and hydration.
