Tanning addiction and anorexia company (painful passion to sunburn) is about to reach a new obsession - poreksiya desire to have as smaller pores. "Please reduce them somehow! "- Please, which today Estheticians hear more often, and from patients who complain - they do not have acne or freckles, or the blood vessels, no wrinkles.
"When the pores are narrow, the skin looks better! "- Solid poreksiki. But as long to get rid of trouble is impossible to solve this problem once and does not exist. Nevertheless, a properly fitted care products and procedures can make the skin clean and supple, and hence less visible pores.
1. Cleansing
Excessive activity of the sebaceous glands of the skin is the main cause of the increase since. "If in the pore for a long time is sebum, it is stretched - explains Dr. Daniel Maes, vice president of research and development Estée Lauder. - In addition, the fat in the skin bacteria multiply rapidly, causing inflammation. If the inflammation is prolonged, may form a scar.
So do not forget about cleaning and regulating sebum production tools. " A cosmetologist Natalia Tarasova advised to wash soda: "After you clean the skin, rinse your face with sparkling mineral water. Fit any except medical high salt content. Trace minerals help to restore mineral balance of the skin and improves circulation bubbles will hold a mini-massage, that will also help to narrow pores. "
2. Exfoliate
Almost a major step towards the ideal skin dermatologists called exfoliation acids. Inside, then they are the same as on other areas of the skin - because their walls is nothing but a continuation of its surface.
Dirt is no longer time to stretch the inside - and it returns to its normal state. Choose tools with salicylic, lactic or glycolic acids, and if the skin is very oily, try creams and serums with nordigidrogvayaretovoy acid (NDGA), which also normalizes the sebaceous glands.
3. Strengthening
Enlarged pores - a problem that is characteristic not only for young skin. Pores may suddenly increase and an adult, even if the skin is dry.
"The increase in pore size is directly related to the destruction of collagen fibers of the skin and loss of elasticity of it - explains Daniel Maes. - Less elastic wall pores less return to its normal state, the microscopic irregularities begin to shadow cast on the skin which thereby becomes visually inhomogeneous.
By the way, if you say that oily skin is aging more slowly, do not believe: it is a myth. Fat enters the skin into a sticky film that prevents dead skin cells flake free, that is, skin renewal slows down. "
4. Living Care
One of the most effective ways to align the skin - superficial microdermabrasion
Less painful alternative - cold laser peeling Fidelis or even less traumatic peeling 20-30 percent salicylic acid.
Narrow pores also contribute to all methods aimed at the stimulation of collagen synthesis. For example, microcurrent therapy, which not only improves the skin condition, but also normalizes sebum secretion.
New items - a procedure on the unit Bio-Ultimate Gold and phototherapy: Skin Station Mistral phones and Skin Station Duet use technology LHE, in which the skin at the same time with the pulses of light and heat affects accelerating collagen synthesis. Bonus: reduction of wrinkles.
5. Masking
"Enlarged pores impossible to disguise a foundation or concealer - says Alexey Molchanov, makeup Lancôme. - Use of primers consisting of silicone polymers, filling the irregularities on the skin surface ".
Choose a light tone, with light reflecting particles, visually hiding microghosts. Be especially careful with powder - striking her several times during the day, in the evening can be found on the face of ugly dense mask. Remove excess fat matting napkins and use the tools to control the light (they can be applied and under, and make-up).
