Large Pores and Oily Skin ?

Large pores and Oily skin can be a real problem. Large pores can also be made worse as we try to cover them with make-up which can also contribute to oil production. Time to solve the problem of large pores and oily skin ?

 

Step 1: Improve pore function

Increasing cell turnover will help clear out blocked pores and reduce the size of your large pores.  Hyperkeratinization is the term used when dead skin cells do not leave the pore because of an excess of the protein keratin, causing a build-up.  Reducing hyperkeratinization in the pore can prevent blockages, reducing pore size appearance and help control your oily skin. Skin texture will improve as a result.

Step 2: Control Oil production

The overproduction of sebum (oil) can be linked to hormones, genetics or an issue with the skin’s hydration balance. Irritation can also increase sebum\oil production, so it is important to use products with soothing ingredients to control excess oil.

Step 3: Hydrate the right way

Over-washing oily skin can actually make it worse because dryness signals the skin to produce eve more oil making the problem worse.  There is a delicate balance to finding the right level of hydration for oily skin. Use lightweight lotions or gel hydrators that give skin the moisture it needs without making it feel greasy.
