Cleansing methods and skincare routines that can help with pore-tightening
Removing excessive sebum, impurities, and dead skin cells from pores can help prevent further enlargement of pores. It is beneficial to use gentle foaming cleansers that effectively remove sebum without causing excessive irritation. Moreover, since excessive stimulation can make the skin dry and sensitive, which can potentially cause excessive sebum excretion that leads to pore enlargement, it is recommended to choose a product that suits your skin type from among the products that contain AHA, BHA, PHA, or LHA, and use it for thorough cleansing. After cleansing, use light and refreshing skincare products for your daily routine instead of using heavy and oily creams that might clog pores. Using pore masks or similar products once or twice a week to remove excess sebum trapped in the pores can also be helpful for pore management.
