4 simple but effective ways to shrink pores
There is a truth that, pores large will not be able to reduce in size, because this is determined by genetic factors. However, you can still do something to make it look smaller and smoother, making skin smoother and more pleasing to the eye. So in the end, how to improve the condition of large pores, help promote smooth and beautiful skin? The answer lies in some very simple tips below.
1. Thorough cleaning
Accumulation of dirt on the skin is the main cause of pores looking “wide”. Therefore, cleansing is the first step in the pore reduction process. After a long day, you need to do 2 steps: remove makeup + apply cleaner. This double cleansing step will help to wash away makeup residue, sunscreen, excess oil, dirt, etc., giving you clean and deep skin and better absorption of nutrients from the next skincare step.
2. Use products that contain acids
According to New York-based doctor Joshua Zeichner: “AHAs and BHAs are essential for clearing pores”. While AHAs will work on the surface to smooth and brighten skin tone, BHAs will penetrate deeper into the skin, helping to remove accumulated dead cells. If you have dry, dull or sensitive skin, AHA will be the perfect choice for smoothing skin, shrinking pores like “out of shape”. BHA is more suitable for oily and acne-prone skin because of its excellent sebum removal ability.
3. Use retinol
Retinol is a very magical and multi-tasking ingredient. This type of “elixir” not only helps smooth wrinkles, remove brown spots, but also treats acne, astringent pores. The magic of retinol comes from its ability to stimulate the skin to produce collagen, controlling excess oil and from there, you will get smoother skin, free of inflammatory acne or blackheads, and smaller looking pores.
4. Apply enough sunscreen
No matter how hard you follow the steps above, without sunscreen, your pores will remain “open”. According to Dr. Rachel Nazarian in New York: “Sun exposure damages collagen – which is responsible for keeping skin firm and elastic. Therefore, your skin is prone to sagging, enlarged pores if exposed to the sun regularly without protection”. Doctors recommend that women use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every morning, regardless of the weather. With it, your skin can reach that beautiful smooth threshold of not seeing pores.
