If you feel like your pores are getting bigger with age, you are not alone! Indeed, it is a common concern to find out how to minimize pores while fighting the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. But why is it like that? And what is the best skin care regimen to treat both problems at the same time? Here you will find the answers to these questions and let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
Aging skin
It's no secret that our skin changes with age – but why is that? Two main factors are a loss of elasticity and a decrease in oil production. With age, the production of collagen and elastin decreases (both are crucial for storage Skin firm and flexible), which leads to less "rebound" of your skin. This is due to hormonal changes and changes in the connective tissue. This is the reason why fine lines become wrinkled and the skin often becomes saggy. Sebaceous glands also produce less oil with age, making your skin look drier, itchier, firmer and feel like it did when you were young. The outer layer of skin (the epidermis) becomes thinner and more sensitive, so that this dry, itchy skin is also more easily irritated by environmental stressors.
Why do my pores look bigger?
How exactly does a decrease in elasticity and oil production enlarge your pores? The pores are also elastic, and when the collagen content decreases, the pores lose this elasticity. As you get older, the skin's natural peeling process Known as desquamation, slows down as your skin dries up. The result is more dead skin cells that sit longer on the surface of the skin and fill pores that are likely to remain stretched.
Aren't you helping this process? Sun damage and sun exposure, which we often see as symptoms of aging skin. How Livestrong points out: “Sun damage creates a cell margin around individual pores. Although this accumulation takes place on a microscopic level, the end result is noticeable … While genetics are responsible for 20 percent of the pore size, sun exposure is a whopping 80 percent. "
How do I reduce pores and smooth the appearance of wrinkles?
So what are the main treatments and techniques to minimize pores while reducing the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin? Peeling, sun protection and professional treatments with a beautician are the best choice. To alleviate a slower desquamation process, include a gentle peel in your daily skin care routine, along with professional peels that remove dead skin cells.
