The trouble of pores is each person, but the cause is also each.
This time, we will introduce the troubles of pores, their causes and countermeasures.

[Role of pores]

I think there are many people who thought, "Pores? Holes where hair grows?"

Of course it is, but inside the pores are sebaceous glands that secrete sebum and

There are also sweat glands that secrete sweat.

in the pores

Skin protection: Secreted sebum acts as a protective film

Body temperature regulation: sweating (pores shrink) to make goosebumps

● Detox: Eliminate unnecessary waste products

There is a role.


[Pore trouble 1: Open pores]

[Check] Pull up the pores in the area of ​​concern in front of the mirror. Did the appearance of your pores change?

The pores of (1) are round, and (2) are often drop-shaped.

(1) and (2) are handled differently.



(1) Measures against open pores caused by excess sebum secretion


① Thorough skin care
Just because you are concerned about sebum, if you remove too much sebum by washing your face excessively or omit care with milky lotion, the secretion of sebum will increase as a reaction.
It may come as a surprise to you, but as your skin dries out, your skin will produce more sebum.
Use a face wash that leaves moisture, and be sure to take care of your face with lotion and milky lotion.

If you use an oil-free or gel emulsion, you can suppress the excessive oil content and stickiness.
We also recommend an astringent lotion that has the effect of tightening the pores.

Cosmetics containing vitamin C are also recommended.

2) Do not overeat greasy foods

Eating too much greasy food can cause your skin to overproduce oil.
You don't have to avoid eating at all, so do it in moderation.

③ Get enough sleep and lead a regular life

Lack of sleep can lead to hormonal imbalance,
A hormonal imbalance can cause excess sebum production.

… However, there are times when sleep time is shortened due to busy days.
In such a case, how about trying to use the bath to improve the quality of sleep?

It is said that taking a 10 to 15 minute bath in hot water at around 40 degrees Celsius about an hour before going to sleep will improve the quality of your sleep.



(2) Measures against open pores caused by sagging skin

① Thorough skin care

As mentioned earlier, it is recommended to use skin care items that support the firmness and elasticity of the skin, such as collagen and elastin.
It is said that everything starts with moisturizing, but dryness is a great enemy. Stay hydrated.

② Give a face massage

By training the muscles of the face and lifting it up, the pores become less noticeable.

For those who say, "I don't have the skill to massage, and I don't have time!", we recommend using cosmetics for the purpose of lifting.
We also sell an item that combines a serum and a roller.


[Pore trouble 2: Darkening of pores]

[Check] Take a close look at your pores in front of the mirror.
Where are your pores blackened?

↓

<1> Things that are clogged in the pores are darkened

⇒ Oxidized sebum clogged in pores = often caused by UV rays

<2> The edge of the pore (around the pore) is darkened

⇒Influence of skin friction and ultraviolet rays = pigmentation is often the cause


<1> <2> Common countermeasures

UV rays are affecting your skin, so please use sunscreen, morning milky lotion (type with UV protection), etc. to block UV rays.

In addition to the above common measures

For <1>, we recommend that you also take measures against (1) pore opening caused by excessive sebum secretion.

For <2), it is possible that the skin is pigmented, so it is recommended to use a whitening serum together.

Also, it is important not to rub your face too much, and be careful not to rub the towel or cotton.

[Pore trouble 3: acne and pimples]

[Check] In which part of your face do you have pimples?

《1》The nose, forehead, etc. are centered on the T-zone

⇒High possibility of acne and pimples due to excessive secretion of sebum

I mentioned that dry skin causes excessive sebum secretion, but acne bacteria, which cause acne, feed on oil to propagate.

Ⅴ.Avoid stimulation or friction

Basically, wash your face gently and carefully. Rinse so that no facial cleanser remains.


In addition to the above common items,

<1> is also a countermeasure against pore opening caused by (1) excess sebum secretion mentioned above

It is also recommended to use peeling agents and facial cleansers that can remove unnecessary stratum corneum.


[I'm worried about pores due to wearing a mask for a long time]

I think most people are wearing masks for a long time now.
Even those who originally didn't care about pores suddenly became concerned about it because of the "high temperature and humidity" inside the mask.

When it gets hot and humid, it's like steam inside the mask, opening up your pores.

If sebum secretion is excessive in this situation, sebum and dirt will be mixed and the pores will be clogged.

As a countermeasure, in addition to the above-mentioned 1: Measures against open pores

When it is possible to remove the mask, it is important to remove it and wear a clean mask.
