Pores are tiny openings similar to holes which help naturally moisturize our skin as they release sebum, body’s natural oil, produced by the sebaceous glands to the surface of the skin.
Pores expand due to genetics, prolonged skin exposure to the sun, excess oil production, dead cells and unhealthy lifestyle; this can be an issue particularly if they are visible on face. Now, let’s be clear on the fact that pores CANNOT be shrunk—especially, if you picked at your skin and squeezed your pimples, your pores may have been permanently widened. However, with proper skin care routine using the right products, you can prevent your pores from any further clogging and stretching, and minimize their appearance.
Keep your pores under control by strictly adhering to these processes:
• Cleansing – Needless to say, regular skin cleansing is crucial for healthy looking skin. Cleansing helps maintain proper pore size, encourages proper skin hydration and prevents the production of excess oils.
• Exfoliating – Most of us skip this process, but exfoliating is just as important as cleansing and moisturizing as has many skin benefits. Exfoliating gets rid of dead skin cells, dirt, oil, bacteria and other pollutants on the surface of the skin which can otherwise widen pores and thicken oils that can make your pore size to get enlarged.
• Moisturizing – Regardless of your skin type, you should never ignore to moisturize daily. Moisturizing keeps skin well hydrated and also prevents clogging of pores, acne breakouts, and blackheads occurrence.
Additionally, you could also include home remedies which are made purely from natural ingredients in your skin care routine to clean pores while making your skin healthy and blemish-free. Applying the remedies consistently stops pores from getting larger and gradually brings glow back on to your face.
