get rid of large pores

It clearly shows that sebum output level affects the size of facial pores and a treatment focused on reducing sebum production helps in decreasing large pores problem.

1. There is no way we can close pores or large pores, but with proper skincare routine helps pores appear smaller, less noticeable, and prevent larger pores.
 
• Recommended complete routine to prevent large pores from appearing:
 
StepsRemarks
Cleanser
• If your skin is oilier than normal, make sure that you scrub your face more often, even daily. This will help get rid of the excessive sebum and impurities on your skin surface, and keeps your pores clear.
• Be careful when using a cleanser that has moisturizing properties in it as the excess moisturizer can cause an increase in sebum on your skin.
Treatment
• Control excessive sebum by using sebum control products:
 
• Always look for product that is able to control skin oiliness without drying the skin.
• Ingredients such as witch hazel extract, potassium azeloyl diglycinate, peppermint, niacinamide or multivitamins A, C and E , help in reducing excessive sebum production and preventing clogged pores.
• Look out for pores minimizing products which also help to increase the production of collagen, and protect skin against free radicals and oxidation.
 
• One of the proven effective ingredients in treating large pores problem is vitamin C in the form of L-ascorbyl acid. It benefits skin in two important ways. Firstly, vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen. Secondly, vitamin C is an antioxidant which helps reduce skin damage caused by free radicals.
Moisturizer
• It is essential to keep the skin supple and moist, as skin cells function properly only if the skin is kept in a constant hydrated or moist state, in order to prevent the formation of large pores.
• It is best to use a gel based moisturizer rather than a creamy / rich moisturizer.
Sunblock
• The harmful rays of sun cause skin to thicken and contribute to enlarged pores.
• Always wear a light weight sunblock with at least SPF 30 and PA+++; both helps protect the skin from the sun.
Exfoliation
• The oilier is your skin, the more often you can exfoliate. While normal skin needs exfoliation once a week, oily skin should make it twice or thrice a week.
• An effective exfoliate helps prevent building-up of dead skin cells from inside the pores; if not, they can cause the pores to become misshapen and easily clogged.
• Using an exfoliant that contains alpha hydroxyl acids (AHAs) which has proven its effectiveness in removing dead skin cells.
2. Promote a healthy lifestyle and pay attention to your skincare routine.
 
• Regular exercise helps flush out toxins in our body and maintains a healthy pore.
• Avoid smoking, alcohol and unhealthy food.
• Massage is good for maintaining skin elasticity and preventing pores from enlarging. While washing your face or applying skin care routine, massage your face by patting it with your fingers.
• If you can help it, avoid makeup as much as possible. Be wary of your makeup products – for example, mineral makeup shimmers in gel, liquid or powder form. Using shimmer can create a lovely highlights effect, but if you have large pores there, adding shimmer is like shining a spotlight on them.
3. Common misperception in getting rid of large pores.
 
• You might be able to get a smoother and tighter surface with proper skincare routine, but there is no way you can close all pores or change the actual size of your pores.
• Facial steaming helps in reducing pores size – Facial steaming is a method used by estheticians during extraction process to remove all blackheads or acne. It does not have any effect on the pore size.
• Frequent face wash helps control skin oiliness – This will further increase the production of sebum creating an extremely oily skin. All cleansers help in removing impurities, skin debris, dirt and at the same time, moisture from the surface of the skin. The sebaceous glands take the moisture elimination as a warning sign, that it is time to produce more sebum to keep the complexion hydrated. Thus, more sebum will be produced and secreted.
• Using cold packs or alcohol products help tighten large pores – Using these products may have temporary tightening effect, but it is extremely short lived. These products may cause the capillaries to constrict and the tiny erectile muscles of the pores to tighten. It may also cause broken capillaries especially on sensitive skin, and encourage excessive sebum production, leading to an increase in the size of the pore.
• Squeezing blackheads or popping whiteheads is a tricky matter that often results in increased infection and possibly damaging the skin tissue, which leads to scarring. You should never perform extraction yourself as it should be performed by a skin specialist or esthetician and using the right methods and tools.
• The use of facial blotter does indeed helps in oil controlling, but overusing it will strip off all sebum content on the skin, causing the sebaceous glands to produce even more to replace the lost sebum!
