Enlarged pores on the nose treatment

Women's beauty is not only clothes and makeup, but also the condition of the skin. Enlarged pores are one of the most common problems of modern girls. This problem sometimes arises completely unexpectedly and it is important to pay attention to it in time, since at the initial stage, closing the pores is quite simple.

Reason for enlarged pores

Lately, have you noticed that your face has changed for the worse and your pores have become very prominent, especially in the T-zone? The sight is not a pleasant one, since enlarged pores become clogged with dirt and look like huge black dots. The main reasons for pore enlargement include:

1. heredity;
2. hormonal imbalance in the body;
3. improper cleansing of the facial skin;
4. inappropriate composition of cosmetics used;
5. stressful state of the body;
6. poor nutrition.

If you notice that you suddenly have enlarged pores, the first thing to do is look in your makeup bag. Review the cosmetics you use: foundation, makeup base, day cream. Check expiration dates and suitability for your skin type. Perhaps you made the wrong choice and should change the product to a more suitable one.

If you have been struggling with a problem for a long period, but none of the remedies are effective, pay attention to your lifestyle. Are you eating right? Do you have problems with sleep and emotional overload? Are you drinking enough water per day?

Enlarged pores are a consequence of all of the above factors. Sometimes the most effective method is to give up bad habits and switch to a healthy lifestyle.

Contact a cosmetologist

There are many cosmetic procedures that can help clean and hide enlarged pores on the nose and T-zone.

For example, microdermabrasion. This procedure involves treating the facial skin with special crystals. The skin seems to be “polished” by the device and thus cleansed. The duration of microgrinding does not exceed 40 minutes.

After the procedure, it is not recommended to use cosmetics, visit the sauna, solarium, and it is necessary to protect the skin as much as possible from temperature changes. The course involves from 4 to 6 sessions. Afterwards, you need to take a short break and repeat micro-grinding after 2 months.

Peeling procedures also help close enlarged pores. Consult a professional and choose the most gentle peeling for your skin. Glycolic, chemical and enzyme peels differ in the composition of the active ingredients, but the result allows you to get rid of the problem.

Cold therapy, or cryotherapy, is a popular treatment for those wondering how to tighten the pores on their nose. Liquid nitrogen, the effect of which the procedure involves, provokes a narrowing and dilatation of blood vessels. Such a drastic change leads to improved blood circulation and toxins are eliminated.

Another method of getting rid of large pores is darsonvalization. Here, electric currents are applied to the skin of the face. How to shrink pores using current? The fact is that the device sends a very weak electrical impulse, as a result of which the tone of the soft tissue cells of the face returns.

Mesotherapy, which involves injecting medicinal “cocktails” into your skin, will also help eliminate the problem within a few sessions. The injections may include hyaluronic acid, amino acids, nucleic acids, etc. The composition of the cocktails can be adjusted depending on the need.

Injections must be carried out on a regular basis. Once a year or every six months, sessions must be renewed to maintain the effect.

The variety of possible procedures is truly impressive. You can get rid of enlarged pores by resorting to any of them on a regular basis. But if you have health problems, then some of them may be contraindicated for you. An experienced cosmetologist will advise you on the most suitable and effective technique.

Home treatments

How to reduce pores at home? If the problem is mild and variable in nature, you can use the following methods to get rid of it:

1. Cleanse your face regularly. Morning and evening, use a special tonic or lotion to cleanse the upper layer of the epidermis. Carefully approach the process of choosing a product, otherwise you may cause dry skin or clogged pores.
2. Use a scrub or gomage once a week depending on your skin type. Apply the product carefully and monitor the exposure time. Don't rub your face too hard to get rid of the problem. You can severely damage the epidermis.
3. Apply masks regularly. Alternate cleansing and moisturizing masks. You can make masks based on natural ingredients. For example, from plantain and egg white or cucumber juice and cottage cheese.
4. In case of exacerbation, a microdermabrasion system will help remove dirt from the pores. There is now equipment on sale that allows you to save on visiting salons and cleanse your face at home yourself. The kits come with both a machine and an exfoliator for manual application.
5. The Darsonval device will also help close the pores. It can be purchased at pharmacies. Check the documents, availability of technical passport and certificates when purchasing. The device comes with various attachments and instructions for use. Darsonval also helps after acne forms. But, it is worth considering that many people note dry skin after regular use.

How to remove problem pores is a personal choice for every woman. Even in situations where you cannot afford expensive treatments in salons, it is recommended to seek advice from a professional. During the consultation, you will be selected a suitable method of cleaning and tightening pores, according to your skin type, its condition and budget, and will be advised on the frequency of use.

Do not get carried away with traditional methods and self-medication. Perhaps your body is giving you a signal that you need to change your lifestyle or the products you are using are simply not suitable for you.

The danger is that when using folk remedies, you may not have sufficient knowledge about the effect of ingredients on the dermis. Thus, in an effort to get rid of the problem, you can provoke its aggravation.

Remember that it is necessary to get rid of the problem not only quickly, but also prudently.

Due to enlarged pores on the face, the skin looks uneven and rough, but it is impossible to completely get rid of this problem. Let's talk about how to visually narrow and even hide pores, and what products will help with this.

Reasons for enlarged pores

Sometimes the pores on the face are barely noticeable, and sometimes they resemble lunar craters. This happens due to the accumulation of fat and impurities in the ducts of the sebaceous glands, because pores are nothing more than their exit points to the surface of the skin. Toxins and salts are removed through the pores along with sweat, so they cannot be “closed.” But you can keep them clean and, to the best of your ability, fight the factors that provoke their expansion.

Hormonal imbalance. During adolescence and pregnancy, changes in the endocrine system can cause excess sebum production and enlarged pores.

Acne disease. Due to excess androgens, the keratinization process is disrupted, and dead skin flakes clog the pores.

Oily skin type. Unfortunately, increased sebum production is often genetically programmed.

Incorrect care. To prevent sebum from clogging pores, the skin must be cleansed properly and regularly.

Nutrition. A love of spicy and fatty foods, a passion for sweet carbonated drinks and baked goods does not have the best effect on the condition of the skin.

Passion for the sun. Under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, as a natural protective measure, the stratum corneum thickens, and it becomes more difficult for the pores to free themselves from impurities.

Age. Due to the destruction of collagen and elastin, the skin loses its elasticity, becomes loose, and the pores remain enlarged.

Is it possible to narrow pores

The bad news: once and for all - no. Good news: temporarily and visually - quite. But this problem will require constant attention, some effort and consistent action.

If the problem is internal, consult a doctor and follow his recommendations. When treating acne, you may need special medications, a certain diet, etc.

Use care products that have the effect of narrowing pores.

Protect yourself from the sun. If the problem has worsened greatly during your vacation, make an appointment with a cosmetologist for a consultation and procedures.

Folk remedies

These recipes are great for exfoliating your skin and tightening your pores.

Baking soda scrub

Take 1 tbsp. l. baking soda. Add some water or milk to it to make a paste. Then massage the skin with your fingertips, paying special attention to the areas where blackheads most often form - the wings of the nose, chin, forehead. However, avoid the area around the eyes. Rinse off with warm water. The pores should be cleaned and become almost invisible.

Honey mask with gelatin

Dilute 2 tsp. gelatin with 4 tsp. water and let it brew. Bring to a homogeneous consistency in a water bath, avoiding boiling. Add 2 tsp. liquid honey and 2 tsp. l. glycerin. Wait until it cools, stir and apply to cleansed facial skin in several layers. After 30 min. Rinse off the mask with warm water and apply your usual moisturizer. The pores will become barely noticeable.

Do not forget that honey is a fairly strong allergen. Therefore, we advise you to use it with caution!

Fighting enlarged pores and blackheads is pointless. Surprised? Any cosmetologist who doesn’t look in his pocket will tell you this. Forget about pore tightening products. The skin will become dry, yes. But clogged pores are harmful: lack of output leads to inflammation. So what should I do? Start over.

Black dots and pseudo-black dots: looking for differences

What we call black dots are pseudo-dots, in English. sebaceous filaments (SFs).

True blackheads are blackheads - oxidized secretion, sebum. They sometimes occur with excessive secretory function, when the pores are clogged and the secretion that gets out darkens under the influence of oxygen.

They are also called open comedones, i.e. sebum plugs.

Cosmetologists consider the fight against sebaceous filaments (SFs) pointless. Few people won it. And even if he won, it was only temporary. Although there are winners - more about them below.

These sebaceous filaments (SFs) are a feature of the skin. What irritates us is the structural elements of the hair follicle. These are ducts through which sebum comes out.

The reason for the appearance of pseudo-blackheads is excessive secretion of the sebaceous glands. The secretion is oxidized. The pores that constantly bring it out must (!) be expanded. Therefore they are visible to the eye. How could it be otherwise - they work from morning to night. If they become clogged, they become inflamed, which is bad.

But instead of normalizing the secretory function of the skin, what are we doing? We are trying to shut off the water supply due to the enormous water pressure. What's waiting? In a figurative sense - a flood. In relation to our nose - inflammation, rash. This is if we are successful - if we do narrow the pores with some cosmetic product.

But most often, fortunately, this does not work out - nature takes its toll. Defends the right to bring the secret out.

So what should I do? Normalize

But it won’t be possible to normalize to 80%. Not very optimistic. Because this is a property of the body - or a violation of its functions. We have noticed that girls with oily hair have mixed or oily skin types. And more often than not they are not skinny.

There are also hormonal levels, the functioning of the stomach and kidneys - this is very important. Depending on the hormonal cycle, the oiliness of the skin varies - even rashes appear, have you noticed? It’s our “pipeline” that can’t handle it.

Subtleties of blackheads: how to live with them further

No caustic acids - they lead to inflammation of the sebaceous ducts and canals!

1. Remember. These points are visible only in the mirror. To you. No one (!) sees them under the layer of base and makeup. DON'T get hung up. And don’t try to cover them up - this will widen the pores even more.

2. The "reverse" method. In summer, when it’s hot, avoid multi-layered makeup. Light vibe is our everything



Otherwise, the pores will expand even more - we prevent them from working

3. And it’s worth helping them work. Don't dry your skin - you can dry out your skin. And even make it peel off. But this will not stop her from revealing more secrets.

I only know one method. These are clay masks. They penetrate deeply and, by some unknown method, regulate secretory function. The rest of the methods - from expensive cosmetics to homemade things - have a weak effect. Everyone has. Believe me.

4. Choose a cleanser. Hydrophilic oils are suitable for some, but others scold them. When using natural ones, pay attention to comedogenicity - that is, the ability to clog pores. It is important.

And yet, summer is coming. This is the best way to heal your skin. As old as time. On vacation, wear less makeup. And miraculously, the skin often recovers. So - in the countryside, in nature, by the pool or in the mountains - let your skin rest with you



Let's be beautiful
