The best strategy for closing the dilated pores of the face is to do a deep skin cleansing, completely removing all encrusted dirt, and moisturize the skin appropriately, according to your skin type, every day.
Dilated pores arise especially on oily skin, which are easily recognized as 'fur holes', especially in the T-region of the face: forehead, nose and chin, and are even more apparent when using powder makeup.
To close the open pores you must:
1. Cleanse the skin daily
It is necessary to keep the skin properly cleaned every day, for this you should wash your face with water and liquid soap, and rubbing with a cotton disc and making circular movements at most 2 times a day not to make a rebound effect, where due to excess washing the skin becomes more oily.
A great tip is before applying makeup is to wash the face with cold water, or to pass a pebble of ice all over face to make a vasoconstriction and then apply a primer and then apply the base and the powder.
2. Exfoliate the skin 1 time per week
Doing a gentle exfoliation is also indicated to remove the outermost layer of the skin, for this you can rub on the face 1 tablespoon of cornmeal with 2 tablespoons of liquid soap or else apply a thin layer of green clay diluted in saline, letting act for 20 minutes, and then remove with a cotton disk and circular movements. The clay will remove excess oil from the skin and return the necessary minerals. Check out some homemade exfoliating options.
3. Use hot and cold compress
One technique that is very effective in closing the pores of the face is to use a warm thermal bag for 3 minutes on the face, and then put a cool thermal bag for 2 minutes, this temperature difference helps to improve tissue oxygenation and the elasticity of the pores, helping in the health and beauty of the skin. This technique can be done on alternate days for 1 to 2 weeks to notice the results.
4. Moisturize the skin
Another important daily care is to keep the skin of the face properly moisturized using the creams indicated for your skin type. The oil free and non-comedogenic versions are excellent options for those who have oily or lipid skin, creams that contain retinoic acid are also great options.
5. Do deep skin cleansing
Doing a deep skin cleansing in a clinic or cosmetic center at least once a month is also indispensable to keep the skin deeply clean, removing the impurities that the home scrubs do not reach.
The first few times this treatment is done it can be that the skin is more irritated and apparently, it gets worse, but this is natural and expected, and as more sessions are done the skin will get better and more beautiful. Here's how a deep cleansing should be done.
6. Avoid fatty foods
The causes of open pores are related to genetics, and to the consumption of fat in food, which promotes the formation of excess sebum by the sebaceous glands of the skin, which clog the canals, favoring blackheads and pimples, and even a scar in the skin, which is a larger 'furinho' and that is not very round, like the dilated pore.
Thus, it is recommended to avoid processed, industrialized foods like biscuit, stuffed biscuit, croissant, pies and other savory made with vegetable fat or lard, and fried foods. It is also important to drink plenty of water or tea to keep the skin cleaner and naturally moisturized from the inside out.
7. Practice aerobic exercises
When practicing exercises one should reserve at least 20 minutes to engage in aerobics such as brisk walking, running or cycling to promote sweating, which is also beneficial for skin, eliminating accumulated toxins.
By following all these steps it is possible to close the pores and make the skin look beautiful and even, even when it is in makeup and with the skin more mature, and it is naturally more flaccid.
