I often encounter patients in my clinical work who come to consult about rough facial pores, especially young and middle-aged women, who are eager to have their doctors provide solutions if they have large pores and a lot of oil. Facial problems are indeed receiving more and more attention.
So what are the causes of large pores, first of all, we must figure out what type of large pores we have in order to prescribe the right medicine.
A. High sebum secretion
This is the most common reason for large pores, simply understand that the pores eat too much, grow fat, a fat look big. In fact, the sebaceous glands keep secreting a lot of oil, and the only way for pores to discharge sebum better is to make the pore size bigger. In case the pore opening is blocked by old waste cells keratin, the oil is blocked in the sebaceous sac, which will cause the performance of large pores. The more serious ones will also cause acne and pimples.
Second, photo aging
Why does sunscreen have anything to do with enlarged pores? This is the same as many people ask, “I can understand the large pores of oily skin, why do I have large pores even a dry skin?” This is related to the fact that The most fundamental cause of pore tightening is the collagen around the hair follicle. The actual pores and skin of the person is not only the most important, but also the most important.
Third, natural aging
Of course, even without the sun, we will still age, only we will age more slowly than in the sun. Even if a person does a good job of sun protection, enlarged pores, sagging, and wrinkles will occur as one ages. This is because in the dermis of the skin, there will be collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid that work together to build the three-dimensional structure of the skin, and this structure makes the skin look full. But as we age, the synthesis of these substances decreases, the loss increases, the skin support becomes poor, and the ducts of the hair follicles sebaceous glands expand outward without external pressure, and the pores visually become larger.
Four, not the correct skin care
The phrase “no death, no death” is common in all fields, and many people’s pores are ruined in their own hands. These include the following points, I do not know if you are using.
1, alternating hot and cold water method.
If pores rely on the temperature of hot water can really shrink, then medical beauty to be laid off. Both hot and cold water will stimulate the skin, it is recommended that warm water wash your face.
2. Scrubs.
Relying on particles to physically exfoliate, but can not deep clean, with a bad instead of causing excessive skin exfoliation.
3, pore reduction water.
Can serum really reduce pores? The answer is not recommended to use! Do not deny that it can visually improve, but still not recommended to use. Cosmetic ingredients that can play a contraction role are mainly oil-control classes, acids, alcohols, and plant extracts.
(1) Oil-control class: commonly used is an antiperspirant, such as aluminum salts, zinc salts, etc.. The principle of action is to block the pores by topical application of ingredients, or by making protein coagulation and thus tightening the skin keratin. But the way to take the plug, the skin condition will deteriorate over time;
(2) Acid: such as salicylic acid, fruit acid, vitamin A acid, etc., can inhibit the keratinization of the hair follicle mouth. Oily skin, normal skin can be used reasonably, but sensitive skin try to avoid;
(3) alcohols: such as ethanol, denatured ethanol, propanol, etc., can inhibit the secretion of oil, but the skin is irritating, not suitable for long-term use;
(4) plant extracts: or back to the role of antioxidants.
4, mud film.
The principle of the mud film is also adsorption of oil on the surface of the face, oil secretion people use, can reduce the oil on the surface of the skin. But only the use of mud film does not solve the problem of large pores, this is only an auxiliary means. And remember to use it wisely, 1-2 times a week is enough.
Are there any remedies for enlarged pores? Can it be cured?
No, but it can be cured.
When I say hopeless, I am talking about skin care products; when I say curable, I am talking about medical aesthetic treatment. This is the biggest concern for many people.
1. Do skin care products have an effect on pore shrinkage?
Skin care products on the formation of large pores, the improvement is very small, can only alleviate the possibility of its deterioration, visually make the pores look a little smaller. At least it can improve the appearance and get psychological satisfaction.
In medical aesthetics, salicylic acid is used to unclog pores, and vitamin A acid or ethanol has the effect of stimulating the dermis and controlling oil, theoretically increasing skin elasticity, slowing down aging, and reducing oil secretion. However, pregnant women should avoid using them.
Use antioxidant products, such as high concentration of VC, resveratrol, etc. VC antioxidant and stimulates collagen synthesis, together with sun protection.
The reasonable use of these products can theoretically alleviate the deterioration of pores, but each person’s skin condition is very different, and compliance is also different, so there is no guarantee that everyone is effective.
2, medical treatment for enlarged pores
The actual fact that you have spent a lot of money on a whole lot of skin care products, it is better to honestly think about how to find reliable doctors and institutions to do medical beauty projects, although the price is high, but it is worth it. But responsibly speaking, if you want to turn into a baby-like skin through medical beauty is not possible. Medical aesthetics will make you much better than your original skin, but not so much that you can’t see your pores at all.
