I'm trying to catch vertical pores and heat!

In the past, my skin was firm even if I stayed up all night, but now, even when I'm just a little tired, you can clearly see my pores getting bigger. ㅜ ㅜ It's really disgusting.. That's why I posted about my concerns last time, and for the past few days, the routine I've been sticking to, risking my life(?), is 'lowering my skin temperature.'

​Experts say that if your skin temperature rises by just 1 degree, the rate of collagen decomposition increases, right? (Right? ㅠ) That's why, after washing my face in the morning, I always take out a cooling toner pad from the fridge and place it on both cheeks for 5 minutes.

After cooling down like this, layer on an essence with a very small amount of retinol. I just used something inexpensive. People in their 40s have a thin skin barrier, so using a high-dose retinol can actually upset the skin, but consistently applying it at the recommended amount definitely helped tighten my pores.

At night, I relieve my skin of the stress that has built up throughout the day with a modeling pack. It's a bit of a hassle, but I've found that no home remedy tightens pores as instantly as a modeling pack. It's frustrating, but these days, there are many cost-effective modeling packs. To maintain that plump, firm texture right after removing the pack, I also apply 1.5 times more moisturizing cream than usual before going to bed. If your pores are constantly saggy, try feeling your skin's warmth before reaching for expensive cosmetics.

I also need to find out a routine for removing impurities from pores.
