Our skin structure is complex but skincare is even more complex than that. One of the most common skin issues, are enlarged and clogged pores. If you are one of those people who have faced the challenge of clogged pores, then this article is going to be a lifesaver for you. Our experts at Nita Med Spa want you to learn everything about clogged pores and how you can treat them.
What Are Pores?
So, first thing’s first, what exactly are pores. As you all know our skin consists of layers. The middle layer is responsible for producing sweat. Even though the middle layer has sweat glands, releasing the sweat out of the skin is done through the surface of the skin. It is released through small holes, also known as pores. So, the sweat that you break on a sunny day comes out through these pores.
How Do Pores Get Clogged?
What makes them clogged? well, dermatologists say that there are three main factors that contribute to clogging, excess oil (sebum), dead skin cells and over-cleansing.
When you don’t cleanse your face properly for a long time, dead skin and excess oil starts accumulating on your skin. These in turn, ultimately clog the pores. Ironically, cleansing your skin more than necessary can also become a reason for clogged pores. Since using cleansers remove dirt and oil from your skin, overdoing it can rip off the oil from your skin, alerting your sebaceous glands to produce more oil to compensate.
This is why, we suggest following a balanced cleansing routine. Using the right kind of product at the right time will certainly make a difference. Washing your face morning and evening is recommended for people with oily to normal skin. However, someone with a dry skin should do that only once or as per their dermatologist’s suggestion.
Some Common Myths Debunked For You
While we are at it, let us tell you about some common misconceptions about clogged and enlarged pores.
- Unlike common belief, pores don’t get enlarged. They only appear to be enlarged when dirt and oil fills them up.
- You cannot close your pores with a toner. The truth is, your pores are always open. They get clogged and steam and other agents are used to unclog them but they are never closed.
- Blackheads are not dirt. In fact, when dirt and oil clog a pore, it oxidizes and cause the tip to turn black. Another important thing is to understand the difference between a blackhead and sebaceous filament as you need to treat them differently.
