Not every woman can boast of perfectly smooth skin. All types have their drawbacks. Oily skin is characterized by the presence of enlarged pores, which are periodically clogged with dirt, turning into black dots. In addition, inflammation occurs, an unhealthy complexion appears, and there is a risk of developing serious dermatological diseases. Even with regular cosmetic cleaning, it is very difficult to get rid of problems.

Pores actually play a very important biological role. They are conductors of nutrients, supply oxygen to the inner layers of the skin. Several factors lead to clogging and increased work of the sebaceous glands. The first is malnutrition. The second is the instability of the hormonal background. The third cause of problems is improper skin care, which leads to very disastrous consequences.

Today, many means have been developed to narrow the pores. Among them there are decorative ones that mask the flaw for once, and there are those with a lasting effect, allowing you to forget about it for a long time and enjoy smooth skin. Folk masks according to old recipes are very popular.

Peculiarities

As a rule, girls and women with mixed or oily skin complain of enlarged pores, while owners of dry skin notice overly compressed pores that do not allow enough oil to pass through.

In the video, we consider the program for the care of oily skin. Discussion of a cream for reduction of the size of a pore.

The presence of enlarged pores leads to:

• Active secretion of sebum;
• Pollution of the pores due to the accumulation of dirt and residues of cosmetics in them;
• An increase in the number of bacteria in wide channels;
• The occurrence of inflammation processes;
• Oily sheen of the skin;
• Frequent occurrence of rashes;
• The appearance of black dots;
• Problems of the normal functioning of the skin;
• Bad complexion and uneven tone.

These are just the first warning bells. In the event that you do not take care of the health of the skin after this, more serious problems such as skin diseases can occur. It is worth buying a specialized cream, leading a healthy lifestyle, eating right.

If you take care of your face regularly, the skin will look fresh and rested, and it will restore a healthy complexion.

Care

Reducing pores on the face requires additional care. For example, cleaning. Oily and combination skin requires cleansing at least three times a day. This can be a simple rinse with water or with cleansers, treatment with tonic, as well as other products suitable for this.

It is worth noting the need for cleansing the face with scrubs and masks.

If for normal skin the optimal care with these products is once a week or less, then for oily and mixed skin it is required at least twice as often.

Choosing the right tools also plays a big role. Enlarged pores should not be dried with different products, as a rule, in this case, the skin needs to be nourished and even slightly moisturized. To prevent this problem from creating even more inconvenience, it is recommended to wash your face with water more often, rub your face with ice cubes, or make special decoctions from tea and coffee. And, of course, use specialized creams.

Composition

Citrus extracts are well suited for the skin: lemon, orange or grapefruit. They penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and cleanse the pores. They also relieve inflammation and whiten the face.

Aloe, chamomile and iris extracts are always advised to be used in special decoctions to narrow pores. As part of the cream, they also heal wounds and also help to cope with inflammatory processes.

Ginger, cinnamon, and seaweed are also beneficial in shrinking pores and protecting pores from germs.

The extract of birch, calendula and rosemary is useful in that it restores the oil balance of the skin, making it clean and beautiful.

Zinc also tightens pores while fighting oily skin. And glucosamine can be found in almost any product designed to reduce pores.

Glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids are called very effective acids. They perfectly exfoliate, helping to get rid of the top, old layer of the skin. In addition, they smooth it and cleanse it of fat, which clogs into the pores and expands them.

Dead Sea minerals are almost always recommended for those with pore problems. In addition, they smooth the face well and have a beneficial effect on the skin.

Vitamins A and E contain a large number of useful substances that can support the skin, ensure its smoothness and healthy appearance.

Whatever cream you choose, it is very important that it contains substances that help stop inflammation and irritation, and also fight germs.

If you use a product with a lot of essential oils, it can cause acne on your face. Oils trigger anti-fat processes and this is a normal reaction of the body. With proper and regular care, the rash should go away in a few days.

Right choice

If your skin is oily, then you should not overdry it. In this case, inflammation or other problems may occur. This type of skin especially needs a lot of nutrition and hydration. When choosing a product, make sure that it contains a lot of nutrients.

The best and most useful cream for a specified problem should be light, easy to apply and absorb fairly quickly. If it lies like a mask or feels sticky and unpleasant, it is better to refuse it.

A cream that contains acids or any whitening ingredients cannot be used regularly, it is harmful to the skin. If you require special care, it is best to consult a specialist.
