Enlarged Pores

Does your face suffer from enlarged pores? Enlarged pores are created by an accumulation of sebum, which accentuates the pores. Moreover, sun damage also affects the pore structure. Always choose Paula's Choice products that reduce enlarged pores. If you clean a pore from the inside and your skin condition improves, the pore structure will also become smoother.

The cause of enlarged pores

When we talk about stubborn skin problems that are also difficult to treat, large pores - after blackheads - are probably the most annoying. Most often, many skin care products only provide a temporary treatment. The result is that your skin problems will only get worse in the long run. Enlarged pores often occur when your sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, which then mixes with dead skin cells in your pores. The pores become clogged, and the sebum cannot flow freely on your skin. What is the result? The pores become wider and more visible, and blackheads may even appear.

Daily skin care for enlarged pores

Step 1: Facial cleanser against enlarged pores

Keep your skin and pores clean by using a mild daily cleanser. In this way, your enlarged pores will not be so easily visible. Ultimately, dirt and sebum won't be able to accumulate in your pores.

Step 2: Exfoliate against enlarged pores

When sebum, dirt and dead skin cells accumulate in the pores, they become more visible. BHA exfoliation can penetrate deep into the pores and cleanse from within. It will make your pores less visible.

Step 3: Creams against enlarged pores

Sun damage can distort and enlarge pores. The result is that sebum and dirt will accumulate in the pores more quickly and make them more visible. It is therefore important that you protect your skin as well as possible against the harmful effects of the sun.
