Enlarged pores are sometimes a source of complexity, especially when they appear in the middle of our face. Fortunately, aesthetic medicine nowadays makes it possible to put an end to enlarged pores.
What are enlarged pores?
THE Pores correspond to micro-orifices present on the surface of the skin in the middle area of the face (also called T zone: forehead, nose, chin) and on the cheeks ). Pores are essential to our skin , they allow it to breathe by evacuating sebum and dead cells.
At the origin of enlarged pores, there is often a excessive production of sebum. Associated with dead skin and various impurities that accumulate (make-up, dust, etc.), pores become clogged. The sebum cannot evacuate naturally and the comedo rears its ugly head. If no care is taken, pores tend to enlarge, they become more visible, and so do blackheads.
When they are visible it is because they are dilated by the accumulation of impurities and sebum , which can even lead to formation of blackheads and pimples.
Their diameter tends to increase with age with the skin sagging and lack of firmness that sets in and the solar damage .
THE from mixed to oily skin are the most subject to pores have an irregular skin texture with more or less enlarged pores, blackheads or even skin that tends to shine quickly during the day due to excess sebum.
If your skin is dehydrated, that is to say it feels tight and your T zone tends to shine, it is because it lack of fat . Know that our body naturally contains hyaluronic acid , which hydrates the skin. During external aggressions, such as cold, wind or pollution, your skin tries to defend itself, and the quantity of hyaluronic acid it has may have weakened more quickly than expected.
Enlarged pores: the causes?
There are several causes of enlarged pores:
- heredity : In most cases, people with enlarged pores have a family member with the same characteristics.
- A hormonal imbalance : especially during puberty, menopause or even during pregnancy.
- Dehydration of the skin : dehydrated skin is often more prone to the appearance of enlarged pores.
- Poor lifestyle : a diet too rich in fat or even tobacco can facilitate the appearance of enlarged pores. Indeed, a diet that is too rich contributes to making the skin oily. As for nicotine, present in cigarettes, it will have a negative effect on the hyaluronic acid contained in the skin and responsible for hydrating it.
- The sun and UV rays : after prolonged exposure to the sun, the skin thickens and thus retains sebum more easily in the skin. After a few weeks, it will thin out and evacuate excess sebum, contributing to the appearance of enlarged pores.
- A makeup too heavy
