You've probably experienced makeup getting stuck in your pores at least once. Lately, I've been getting concerned because every time I look in the mirror, my pores feel vertically stretched. Sagging pores are a common skin concern caused by the combined effects of sebum production and decreased skin elasticity.

Today, I'll share with you the causes of enlarged pores, home care methods for pore management, and even helpful treatments!

1. Causes of enlarged pores

1) Excessive sebum secretion

They say that if sebum secretion increases too much, pores can easily become enlarged. Sebum needs to be excreted properly, but if dead skin cells prevent this from happening, pores can become increasingly enlarged.

 

2) UV exposure

Exposure to UV rays is another cause of enlarged pores. UV rays can cause the skin around pores to lose elasticity, making them appear more prominent.

 

3) Loss of skin elasticity

As collagen and elastin in the skin decrease, the skin's supporting power decreases and pores may appear larger.

 

4) Bad home care habits

Also, the habit of washing your face with hot water can enlarge pores, and the act of forcibly squeezing blackheads with your hands can also cause irritation and inflammation to the skin, which can make pores even wider.

2. How to manage enlarged pores at home

As explained above, enlarged pores can develop for a variety of reasons, so it's important to maintain a consistent home care routine. Here are some pore care tips you can try at home.

 

1) Proper face washing

Washing your face is crucial for pore care. Sleeping without washing your face can clog pores, making them even larger, so it's crucial to wash your face thoroughly twice a day, morning and evening. It's especially important to wash gently with lukewarm water to avoid irritating your skin.

2) Moisturizing care

Proper moisturizing is also said to be important for pore management. If your skin is too dry, it can lose elasticity and enlarge pores, so it's important to thoroughly moisturize after washing your face.

3) Use sunscreen

Because UV rays cause photoaging, inflammation in the skin, loss of elasticity, and enlarged pores, you should develop the habit of applying sunscreen thoroughly on a regular basis.

4. Q&A

1) Do eating habits also affect pores?

Oily, spicy foods, fast food, and other foods can stimulate sebum production and enlarge pores. Excessive drinking should also be avoided as it can negatively affect the skin.

 

2) Are enlarged pores and sagging skin related?

: As skin sagging progresses, pores may also be pulled downward, making vertical pores more prominent.
