There are likely days when your cheek pores stand out particularly when you look in the mirror. In particular, many people feel that their cheek pores appear larger than their nose pores when viewed under lighting.

It is said that cheek pores can widen due to a combination of factors, including not only sebum but also skin elasticity, aging, and lifestyle habits.

Today, I will summarize everything from the causes of enlarged pores on the cheeks to home care methods you can do at home, and even dermatological procedures that help with pore management.

1. Causes of enlarged cheek pores

1) Decrease in skin elasticity

First of all, a decrease in skin elasticity can cause pores on the cheeks to widen. As collagen in the skin decreases due to aging, elasticity drops, and when skin elasticity declines, pores can sag and appear wider.

 

2) Ultraviolet rays

It is said that frequent exposure to UV rays destroys collagen, causing the skin around the pores to sag and making the pores on the cheeks appear wider.

 

3) Sebum + waste

Excessive sebum secretion can cause sebum to accumulate in the pores, making them appear wider, and fine dust or impurities can build up, potentially enlarging the pores.

2. Home Care Method for Cheek Pores

If you are concerned about enlarged pores on your cheeks, it is said that starting home care can be helpful. Here are a few ways to manage cheek pores that you can do at home.

 

1) Use sunscreen

It is said that it is important to apply sunscreen thoroughly before going out, as UV rays can cause pores to widen.

2) Practice the correct facial cleansing method

Since fine dust and makeup residue can accumulate in pores and cause them to enlarge, it is important to practice proper cleansing methods on a daily basis. It is important to wash thoroughly using a foam cleanser once or twice a day. However, you should rinse sufficiently with lukewarm water and cleanse gently to avoid causing significant irritation to the skin.

3) Exfoliation

It is said that consistent exfoliation helps with pore care. However, since excessive exfoliation can have a negative impact on the skin, it is important to exfoliate at appropriate intervals.

4) Do not extract sebum

Some people squeeze the sebum out of their pores with their hands, but it is recommended to refrain from doing so, as directly squeezing can damage the surrounding skin tissue and actually cause the pores to enlarge further.

 

5) Skin Moisture Management

It is said that it is important to thoroughly moisturize after washing your face, as dry skin can reduce elasticity and cause pores to widen.
