Let's talk about pores and other "imperfections" | By MERAKI ESTHETIC SPA | 10% of our reward goes to @businessactivity

Hi guys, the first thing I want to make clear is that we all have pores and they are necessary, it is through them that our skin breathes. So if you ever thought about having a "perfect" and porcelain skin, let me tell you that those skins are just another photoshop trick.

I would like to clarify a couple of myths, starting with the famous steam to open the pores or ice to close them.

The pores of our skin are not a muscle, therefore they do not have the ability to open or close, that is to say there are no creams or miracle recipes that can change the size of the pores.

The steam is used to help vasodilation of the pores, helping to soften the dirt and facilitate the extraction of the same (blackheads, whiteheads, dead skin, product residues, etc.).

While the cold (ice, cold spheres, etc) is used as a soothing or decongestant after extracting the dirt from the pores.

And this is where many people ask me, is there a way to reduce pores?

To which I always answer, there is no way to reduce them, each skin as well as its owner is different, therefore there are pores of all types, some larger and some smaller. But there are many ways to improve them and create the appearance of smaller pores.

Tips to conceal pores

1- Many times, when we expose ourselves to the sun and neglect our skin care, our skin thickens, to become like a kind of armor against free radicals and sun rays, causing the pores to be more visible.

That is why the main and most important recommendation will always be the use of a good sunscreen, you can include an antioxidant before the sunscreen to reinforce the protection (vitamin C is the antioxidant par excellence).

I must warn you that if you use an antioxidant you must clean it very well because it tends to leave residues and it will look like stains when in fact it is the oxidized product that is left on the skin.

2- It is also of vital importance to keep the pores clean, how do we do this?, easy:

• Use a good facial cleanser (that is special for your skin type).

• Exfoliate your skin 1/2 times a week depending on your skin type.

• Go to your appointments with a specialist for a good deep cleansing, keep your pores clean, how do we do this? easy:

• Use a good facial cleanser (that is special for your skin type).

• Exfoliate your skin 1/2 times a week depending on your skin type.

• Go to your appointments with a specialist for a good deep cleansing.

3- Include products that help keep your pores clean, salicylic acid and niacinamide are very good allies and you can find them in all presentations, there are even cleansers that contain these ingredients in their formula.

4- And last but not least, moisturize your skin and your body, one of the causes of excessive sebum secretion is dehydration, the skin is very intelligent and if your skin is dehydrated it will create much more sebum (fat) to lubricate itself, causing the clogging of pores and thus making them more visible.

Tell me, what do you think about this information about pores? , have you ever wished you could eliminate pores?

Remember that the only way to keep pores free of dirt is through constant care, do not believe in creams or miracle recipes, they are PURE FAKE!
