How to stop having large pores?

To fight against dilated pores of the face, the skin must first be purified. Double cleansing is therefore essential in order to limit excess sebum.

The second step consists in the application of a second cleanser which will have an aqueous base: we can choose a milk or a cleansing gel. The latter will begin to treat your skin problems. The Purifying Cleanser Tata Harper is perfectly suited for a clear skin and tightened pores.

Twice a week you can use an exfoliating lotion or powder like the Daily Microfoliant Dermalogica because it is the ideal gesture to erase all the small cutaneous defects, scars, small buttons and dilated pores too visible.

Thus, too fight against shine and dilated pores, the best thing to do is to choose a cream that regulates sebum production.

Some ingredients are effective against this concern, here is a non-exhaustive list: 

  • Vegetable Oils Jojoba, Hazelnut, Macadamia, Sesame or Nigella.
  • Essential Oils Lavender (officinal or aspic), Lemon (lemon essential oil is astringent and cleansing, its INCI name is Citrus limon peel oil), Rosemary verbenone, Palmarosa, Tea tree, Fragonia, Cistus, Cedar, Green myrtle, Niaouli or Rose Geranium.
  • Hydrolats Lemon, Rose, Rosemary verbenone, Tea tree, Lavender, Savory, Sage or Witch Hazel.
  • Clays Green clay or Rhassoul.
  • Alpha hydroxy acids or AHAs Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic acid and lactic acid, exfoliate your skin's surface to help brighten dull skin, smooth rough skin and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. Regular use of AHAs dramatically improves skin's radiance and gives it a brighter, more even appearance.

 

With age and skin ageing, the skin tends to lose its tone, as the elasticity of the skin is less optimal. As a result of this slackening, pores become more visible. To regain a clear and radiant skin, use products rich in fruit acids (such as glycolic acid) or the resurfacing power of retinol.
