How to get rid of enlarged pores?

What to do against dilated pores?

The skin secretes a natural oil called sebum. The purpose of this sebum is to protect the skin against external aggressions while providing it with some hydration.

On the other hand, skin that produces too much sebum (oily skin) clogs the pores of the skin and thus causes blackheads. So to combat this phenomenon, 10 Tips offers you today 10 tips and remedies to get rid of dilated pores.

Tips and products for dilated pores:

1. Tighten skin pores with good cleansing!

The very first thing to do is to wash your face well. Indeed, how can you get rid of enlarged pores if you don’t take care of your face on a daily basis?!

So morning and evening, wash your skin with a mild cleanser. It is important not to attack your skin, hence the importance of choosing a cleansing product that is suitable for your skin type.

For women with sensitive to normal skin, here is the NIVEA Pure Skin Cleansing Gel. It is ideal for gently cleansing clogged pores on the face while removing makeup and other impurities from the skin.

To get rid of dilated pores and other facial impurities even more effectively, you can combine this cleansing gel with this cleansing brush:

2. Moisturizing your skin is important!

Once the cleansing and make-up removal of the skin is finished, it is important to apply a good moisturizer to the face.

Regardless of the type of skin: normal, sensitive, oily or dry, it must be moisturized well, and this, daily.

Indeed, even oily skin needs to be hydrated, it just has to be done correctly. So choose a face moisturizer that is water-based and not oil-based.

3. Exfoliate your skin to remove dead cells

Do you take the time to exfoliate your skin from time to time? Skin exfoliation should be done at least once or twice a week.

This exfoliation will gently dislodge all the dead cells and dirt embedded in your skin pores. Also, a good skin exfoliator will remove blackheads.

4. Make a purifying mask to smooth pores

By making yourself a purifying mask, you will dilate your pores so that dirt can dislodge there in addition to removing blackheads. Here is a face mask recipe:

• Mix a tablespoon of powdered green clay with water to form a smooth paste.
• Add 2 or 3 drops of tea tree essential oil to the mixture.
• Apply to face and leave on for 15 minutes.
• Rinse off and air dry face to finish.

You can also buy a mask specially designed to remove blemishes on the face.

Here is the L’Oréal Paris Anti-Blemish Mask which helps reduce blackheads and smooth and tighten the pores of the skin.

5. Watch out for makeup that clogs pores!

If you apply make-up daily to your face, it is all the more important to remove it all at night, before going to bed!

So if you wear foundation, concealer or even mascara, don’t go to sleep without removing your make-up!

Did you know that foundation clogs the pores of the skin and therefore causes the appearance of blackheads and pimples on the face. This is why it is important to remove make-up from your face with a gentle, quality make-up remover.
