Blocked pores on the face are a cosmetic defect, usually the result of improper skin care and choice of cosmetics. Therefore, the funds are selected exclusively according to the type of skin, and the consistency plays a role. So, we deal with the causes of blockage of the pores of the face and what preventive measures can be taken.
Improper skin cleansing
The most common cause of clogged pores is often inadequate skin cleansing. Dirt, street dust, excess of oxidized fat must be removed. Irregular cleansing of the skin causes clogging of the pores of the face. For successful prevention, you need to wash your face twice a day - in the morning and in the evening, while choosing cleansers according to the type of face.
Not washing your face after using cleansers
If we talk about cleansing cosmetics for the face, then after applying it, it is advisable to wash your face with cool water or tonic. Even when you apply micellar water to a cotton pad and wipe your face with it. Indeed, in fact, even micellar water is a soapy solution, which contains PAWS... Of course, their number is insignificant and they are softer than those used, for example, in detergents. However, if they are constantly on your skin, they can become potential irritants, they threaten the appearance of acne and blockage of the pores of the face.
Forgetting to remove makeup from your face before bed.
Unfortunately, makeup residues that have not been removed cause comedones on the face. Regardless of how tired you are, remove makeup with a cleanser or simply wash your face. Acne is directly related to clogged pores and ruins the appearance. Beautiful skin is definitely your merit. Take a few minutes to work on yourself.
Rich foundation
Foundations really not only even out the tone of the face, but also provoke clogged pores, the appearance of acne and blackheads. Especially if you have seborrheic or combination skin. Even the best of them hinder air exchange and draw moisture from the epidermis. So, for oily skin, you should choose light matting textures, and for dry skin, cream and nourishing ones are best suited. In the evening, the created ideal tone must be thoroughly washed off.
Rich Nutrients Used in Spring and Summer
As for saturated creams, they also provoke clogged pores. Therefore, the nutrients that you used in the winter should be put aside in the spring. They should be replaced by a lighter textured moisturizer and tightening products. They actively moisturize, stimulate the natural process of collagen and elastin production - non-comedogenic.
Products with dense oils and silicones
Even if you have dry skin and are not familiar with oily sheen, clogged pores - dense, mineral oils, as well as "heavy" natural oils and silicones can provide you with several months of combating the sudden onset of acne, at any age. Why? They create an unpleasant film on the face, the so-called "greenhouse effect" and cause excessive clogging of pores.
In order to navigate in the correct selection of funds, it is enough to focus on your skin type. What should be missing in the funds:
- Fatty - alcohols, synthetic oils and polymers.
- Dry leather - alcohols, synthetic oils, polymers, parabens.
- Sensitive skin - alcohols, synthetic oils, polymers, parabens, artificial preservatives, synthetic fragrances and dyes.
Applying hand products to the face
Generally, inexpensive hand creams are not very well formulated. They do not contain active ingredients that can act deeper than the upper layer of the skin (epidermis). And besides this, they are famous for their increased comedogenicity, causing excessive clogging of the pores of the facial skin. In other words, it is better to have separate products for the face and hands.
Stress
Don't panic! But stress also causes clogged pores. Removing nervous tension, filling the blood with endorphins will help to cope with them. For example, it has been proven that walking, short jogging, a few minutes spent in the shower, light and nutritious food, laughter reduce the amount of stress hormones, normalize heart function, and improve appearance and mood.
