Treatment Of Large(Open) Facial Pores?

The word “non-comedogenic” means the product won’t clog the pores. When pores clog, they expand, which can make your pores look more noticeable.

Everything you apply to your face should be:

Non-comedogenic- won’t clog pores
Oil free

Cleanse your face twice daily

Clogged pores and oily complexion makes pores look larger. Cleansing twice daily prevents clogged pores and reduces oiliness.

When cleansing face:

Use warm water. Hot water can irritate skin, causing pores to look larger.
Gently wash face. Scrubbing can irritate skin, causing inflammation making pores more noticeable.
Use a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser.

Use retinol

If oily skin, mild acne, or saggy skin, pores look larger. Apply retinol or retinyl palmitate product before going to bed.

If pregnant or breastfeeding, don’t use a product containing retinol or retinyl palmitate.

ACNE (Self-care)

Try not to squeezeor pick acne lesions as this can aggravate them and may cause scarring.
When you have acne, it is important to take treatment to control it as early as it appears. This helps to avoid permanent scarring and reduces embarrassment.
You must use advisedtreatment for at least two months before you observeany improvement.
Some creams may dry or irritate the skin initially. If you developredness and irritation by a cream or lotion, stop treatment temporarilyfor a few days and use the treatment less frequently and then buildup gradually.
Only use make up products that are oil-free or water-based. Choose products labelled as ‘non-comedogenic’ (do not cause whiteheadsor blackheads) or non-acnegenic (don’t cause acne).
Gently cleanse your skin and remove make-up with an oil-free soap substitute. Scrubbing can irritate the skin and make acne worse. Blackheads are not caused due to bad hygiene.
There is little to no evidence that chocolate and “fast foods” cause acne; however, a balanced diet including fresh fruit and vegetables will help your overall health.
