GOOD LUCK!!|||Skin Pores: Care








Care








Keep your skin free of excess oils. That does not mean that you strip away the acid mantle totally. Just keep the oil manageable so that it does not look shiny. Use cleansers that are mild and preferably enriched with AHAs to keep the acid mantle undisturbed. Use exfoliation agents such as topical retinoids to remove the excess dead skin cells that accumulate around the pore. Treat blackheads, because they draw attention to the pores. Skin protection from sun can reduce the enlargement of pores.





Whiteheads %26amp; Blackheads








Whiteheads and blackheads are the first stage of acne. Acne develops on hair follicles which have sebaceous glands attached to them. These sebaceous glands produce an oil called sebum. Due to some reasons, the sebum changes in quantity and quality resulting in scales on the hair follicle. These scales block the skin pores causing acne. This blockage of the skin pores is the beginning of acne.





The first stage of this blockage shows up as blackheads and whiteheads. These are also called as comedones. A comedone is a sebaceous follicle that is plugged and filled with sebum, dead cells, etc. An open comedone is called a blackhead because of its blackish appearance. A blocked comedone is called as a whitehead. It is a small bump in the skin with skin like color. A whitehead has a closed mouth and the blackhead has an open mouth. The black color of blackheads is not due to dirt as some believe, but it is the oxidized sebum.





Treatment And Care:


Don%26#039;t squeeze whiteheads And blackheads yourself. That may leave permanent scars on the skin and also cause infection. The best approach is to go to a dermatologist, who will pick them open, if required under sterile conditions. Note that Acne scars can be permanent. Wash your face gently with lukewarm water and mild soap to remove excess sebum and dead skin. Do this twice a day. Don%26#039;t be harsh on the skin. Acne takes time to clear. Apply any topical cream that may be prescribed by your dermatologist. Acne treatment requires patience. Some of us think that washing affected area many times a day may clear acne fast. That may rather further inflame the acne. Be gentle and patient.

Eat healthy.

How to make a facial mask that will shrink pores?

How can I reduce the size of pores?

Wash your face every night using an appropriate cleanser for your skin type. People with oily skin should look for products meant for oily skin and people with combination skin should look for those products. Using the wrong products can make your pores look even larger.





Step 2





Apply oil-free moisturizer before going to sleep at night and after waking up in the morning. The moisturizer hydrates the skin and helps reduce the size of the pores. Products that contain oil can actually enlarge the pores by clogging them.





Step 3





Take an over-the-counter vitamin containing vitamin C or retinol. Some experts believe that retinol and vitamin C can actually diminish the size of pores when taken properly. Eating foods rich in vitamin C can also help.





Step 4





Exfoliate at home or head to the spa for a microdermabrasion treatment. These treatments go beyond simple cleansing to completely strip the oils and debris caught in the pores. After only one treatment, your pores will reduce in size.





Step 5





Try a steam bath or hold your face over a pot of boiling water. Alternatively, you can run the shower or bath in your bathroom and sit inside the steaming room for a few minutes. The steam forces out any dirt or debris trapped in the pores and makes the pores look smaller.

Let it set for a few minutes before you apply foundation. See link for that as well.

Then top it off with a mineral powder foundation.





Cosmetics are individual but I love Arbonne products they last all day, a little goes a L O N G way (bang for the buck)

They are excellent for any kind of skin that you%26#039;ve got and any look that you want to achieve-|||I like Maybelline鈥檚 Dream Matte Mousse. I have large pores along my nose and upper cheeks, and I find that the whipped texture of this foundation works best to cover them. Liquid foundations settle into them, while powders just seem to miss them altogether. I tried Bare Minerals recently and found that it actually highlighted my pores!





The only problem with the mousse is that you have to use it up fairly fast. After 3-4 months the stuff starts drying out a little in the container - it loses its nice whipped texture and starts feeling more spongy, and doesn鈥檛 glide on as nicely. At least it鈥檚 fairly inexpensive (compared to specialty or department store brands, anyway), so even if you have to throw some away every few months, it鈥檚 not so bad.|||I have the same problem so I use Stila Oil Free Foundation and apply it with a makeup brush. If you have a local Sephora go there and they can let you try it on. It%26#039;s wonderful because it gives a lot of coverage without looking caked on. Spackle is a good product for filling in places that need it. As for Bare Minerals as much as I love those products they are more for people WITHOUT problem areas on their face.

Oh, and the Biore pore strips really do work. They pull all the yucky stuff out of your pores.

When choosing a facial cleanser, choose something that has the terms ‘oil-free’, ‘non-irritating’, ‘non-overdrying’ and ‘non-comedogenic’ mentioned on them. most of the acne cleansers today have other medications in them like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide.











These medications may get washed off with these cleansers or you may end up layering medications by starting with a cleanser with medication and following with another medication afterwards. The best option is to have gentle cleansing to be followed with the right medication.











Make it a point to wash your hair only twice a day; in the morning and evening. This is because too much of washing only causes irritation to the skin. Remember, you are aiming at becoming as kind as possible to your skin with your cleansing.











Don’t wash your face using a washcloth as your bare hands are more than sufficient. Remember that the washing of your face is only for getting your face ready for medication, and for nothing else.











There is no point in scrubbing your face as washing your face on its own does not clear breakouts as dirt does not cause acne. After washing your face, pat it dry as rubbing it leads to excess irritation. This in turn creates more breakouts.|||The best way to clean your face is keep washing your face regularly.





Washing at regular intervals is effective. I had acne problems till a few months back. i kept on washing my face regularly and didnt use any cleansers.

|||.You can quickly reduce them by quite vigorous massage using an essential oil(See USER%26#039;S happy response below) You will find you can make it more vigorous as you progress. You first flex or tighten skin by tightening face muscles so that you will not be pulling or stressing skin. Use finger tips and front and sides of fingers depending where on face you massage. A circular motion will not work. Do over and over firmly. Skin is always shedding and renewing, the massaging friction hastens a new skin to emerge with pores very much reduced. Initially, skin has to adjust and if you get any soreness - stop and resume when you can. For quickest results do each day for up to 30 min.(Doesn%26#039;t have to be all in one session). You will see results in 2 to 3 days and they will diminish day by day. If you apply massage to entire face you will quickly have a radiant, tight, firm, totally blemish free, healthy skin and you will not need to use any other product or treatment ever again - not even moisturizers. Oils are perfect natural moisturizers.

How do you clean/minimize your pores? Or what is the best way...


And what do you use to get rid of your blackheads? (:|||Massaging with essential oils works wonders. Can quickly reduce pores, get rid of all blackheads,and most blemishes. Certain oils are beneficial in treating acne prone and sensitive skins and lessen skin%26#039;s production of oil. Olive, almond, and cypress are excellent. To get fastest results do it quite vigorously. You will see them diminish in just one day. Oils feed and nourish skin with many beneficial health enhancing nutrients and will give you a revitalized healthy and glowing skin.


It%26#039;s best to massage with a forward and back motion. Circular massage is less effective.





SOURCE(S): 20 + years research, experimentation - safe natural treatments/cures for skin conditions and skin enhancement.|||There are some ways for blackhead removal:





* Use a facial steamer to steam your face for a few minutes. This helps you to open up facial pores, and expose the blackheads. Pat your face dry. Then, use a blackhead remover to remove blackheads. Place the hole of the remover over a blackhead, and gently press down. This will apply the pressure from underneath the blackhead, and pop it up. Then use an alcohol pad to clean it up to avoid infection. Avoid harsh squeezing or scraping at the blackhead. Excessive squeezing can damage the skin surround the pore and can actually increase the size of the pore, leading to more blackheads in the future.





* You can also use a pore strip. The adhesive action of pore strips can actually rip blackheads out of your face. Since most strips are medicated, this will ensure you don鈥檛 get an infection from the rather rough extraction. Use a facial steamer to steam your face first, and pat it dry. Then, just apply the strip to the blemished area, wait the prescribed amount of time instructed by the user manual, and rip the strip off, taking the blackhead with it.|||Hmmm

How do you refine or get rid of pores?

I cleanse, tone and moisterise my face everyday and I don%26#039;t ever wear make-up, So it really bugs me that I have so much pores. What can I use to refine or get rid of them?|||Pores can get big with a build up of dead skin cells and skin oil.





Once a week add exfoliation to your routine, the easiest is to mix 1 tbsp sugar with a few drops of milk and scrub lightly onto your clean skin, rinse well and then apply a clay mask all over your face. I like St. Ives mineral clay mask. You can actually see the oil being absorbed from your pores. Then rinse again. Finally if there is a certain area of your face that has larger pores than others, like your nose. Apply more clay mask just to that area. I do this and have seen a big improvement with my pores and general skin tone. It works better than those expensive pore refining products.





Also, if you have nice skin and don%26#039;t really need a thick foundation try getting a tinted moisturizer for day wear, just a little bit of color will make your pores harder to see and smooth out your skin tone.|||Haha, hun, you can%26#039;t get RID of pores.

Make sure you don%26#039;t over-wash, that%26#039;s #1, increases oil production and their appearance I%26#039;m sure.





You can wash your face with cold water, this should close them up at least a bit. The key is cold. Don%26#039;t over do it though, you can dry your face out.





If your pores are bumpy, you need to exfoliate, use apricot scrub or once in a while, mix a paste of baking soda and water and apply it to your face for a quick blackhead dissolve. If you wanna scrub your face with the paste, BE VERY CAREFUL. You will take the top layer of your skin right off, that stuff is very abrasive, you have to be VERY gentle.|||More than likely if you have large pores then you have oily skin...You can%26#039;t get rid of pores, oh how I wish also, but it%26#039;s just not gonna happen but you can minimize them...After cleansing rinse with cool water..you do %26quot;not%26quot; want the water too cold because it can cause broken capillaries same as too hot of water.....

See happy response below from Answer%26#039;s user. Use tips and front and sides of fingers depending where on face you massage. A circular motion will not work. Do over and over firmly.

Thoroughly massage entire face you will quickly have a smooth, radiant, tight, totally blemish free skin and you will not need to use any other product or treatment ever again - not even moisturizers.

I actually found a facial oil that slows down your skins oil production, clears up pimples/ acne and dissolves black heads within 4-8 weeks I put all the info on my blog as it%26#039;s quite detailed:





http://beautymoi.blogspot.com





I also put a full article of how to extract blackheads and steam your skin.





Black heads are basically a hardened oil mixture that was secreted from your pores and oxidized (which makes the outside part black) and since water and oil don%26#039;t mix, no water based product can %26quot;clean%26quot; your blackheads away, just try say putting certain foundations or makeups on the mirror and if you wipe it with water it smudges all over but put a little baby oil and wipe and tada! it comes off super clean AND dissolves it. So this is basically how this oil works. It%26#039;s composition is such that the skin accepts it as a healing oil and it does not clog your skin but rather protects it while the plant extracts inside go down into the pores (this absorption is made possible by applying the toner to the skin before applying the oil and then applying the dabs of oil over your moistened face), it then penetrates into the pores.








I put where to the name of the oil and prices in stores versus on eBay as well as how to apply it on my blog:
