Unfortunately, the problem of enlarged pores on the face is the scourge of girls who are owners of oily skin.
You need to understand that the wide pores on the face are a kind of hole in the hair follicle, which thereby opens the outlet of the sebaceous gland. Despite the fact that hair may not grow in this place, this same “hole” will be called the hole of the hair follicle.
Over time, it can and will be filled with sebum, which simply clogs the time and thereby turns into a real comedone.
The forehead, nose and chin can be considered the main “habitat” of such troubles; it is in this area that most of the sebaceous glands that are actively working have gathered. This is especially true for adolescents during puberty, when there is an active production of hormones and pores on the face are most vulnerable and prone to the formation of acne.
Active work of the sebaceous glands leads to clogging of the pores, and this is fraught with the formation of tubercles and the real acne. It is in order to ensure that the pores on the face are always clean and do not constitute a “danger” to beauty, it is necessary to properly care for the integument and use special products that control the production of sebum.
First of all, you can advise you to turn to a professional for help and visit a cosmetologist every month. However, it is far from always possible to resort to the services of specialists, because such procedures are not so cheap, and time should be allocated regularly for this. In this case, there are a lot of tools that can help narrow the pores on the face at home. In addition, proper daily care will help to make the skin much better, give it a healthy appearance and eliminate unnecessary rashes and black spots.
You can make simple masks at home that will help you in a stubborn fight against enlarged and clogged pores on your face.
The most effective of them is done using simple egg white and 1 tbsp. lemon juice. It is necessary to mix these two ingredients and apply on the face in several layers. It is important to apply each subsequent layer after the previous one has completely dried. At the end of the procedure, you need to wash your face first with warm and then cool water, and pat it dry with a dry towel. This mask not only cleanses the pores, but also brightens the face, and helps get rid of wrinkles.
In order to make the next mask, you will need ordinary salt, potato starch, warmed milk and honey. All ingredients are needed in the amount of 1 teaspoon (except milk, it should be added as necessary, until the consistency of sour cream is reached). The resulting mixture should be evenly distributed over the face and left for 20 minutes. It is washed off with warm water.
A simple mask that helps reduce large pores on the face is made from a decoction of medicinal herbs. It is necessary to take a pharmacy chamomile, elderberry and linden flowers, mix all this in a ratio of 1: 1: 1, pour 250 ml of water and put on a stove. The resulting mixture of herbs should be brought to a boil and boiled for about 10 minutes. In the cooled mass, add the powdered oatmeal and a teaspoon of honey. You should have a sticky mass that you can spread on your face. Hold for 15-20 minutes and rinse with warm water.
All these masks can be carried out 1-2 times a week. To achieve the maximum effect, you first need to prepare the skin by cleaning the pores on the face with a gentle scrub or peeling. The main thing is not to overdo it, because such products may contain abrasive particles that can damage the edges of the pores, making the healing process longer. This procedure will allow you to remove dead skin particles, which means that the nutrients of the mask will penetrate deeper and better, exerting their positive effect.
Remember that skin prone to oily sheen needs careful care. Be sure to use lotions with which you will wipe your face twice a day.
As for decorative cosmetics, it is best to use powders and foundation with a matting and absorbing effect. Avoid oily creme shadows so that your makeup always looks fresh and natural.
Remember: the enlarged pores on the face is not a sentence, this defect can and should be fought, and your skin will delight you with its appearance.
