Method 1: dredge the pores on the nose.
1, steaming face. Steam helps to open pores and it is convenient for you to remove dirt from pores. The heat it emits will soften the hardened oil in the pores and let you discharge the oil from the pores. After washing your face, pour boiling water into an anti-scalding bowl. You can add a few drops of essential oil if you like. Put the towel on your head and bend over the bowl. Hold this position for 5 to 10 minutes to allow steam to penetrate into the skin.
After steaming your face, put on a nose patch or a mask.
If you want to use essential oil, just drop 2 to 3 drops into the water, not much. Choose an essential oil that can meet your skin needs. Tea tree oil, ylang ylang oil, rosemary oil and geranium oil can effectively reduce oil secretion and remove bacteria. Geranium oil can also tighten the skin and make pores less obvious.
You can steam your face twice a week.
2. Use a nasal patch. After steaming your face, use a nasal patch with the function of cleaning pores to remove foreign bodies in pores. Be sure to follow the instructions on the product packaging when pasting and tearing off the nose paste. The nose patch is dry. You have to tear it off and look at the gray, black and white grease and dirt on it. It's all the things that the nose stick cleans out from the pores. Then rinse your nose.
You can use a nasal patch every three days, but too often it will cause dry skin.
3. Use mud mask for local care of nose. Although you can apply the mask to your whole face, too many times of applying the mask will make your skin dry. Your nose or T-zone may be more greasy than other parts of your face. Only by using mud film on the nose often can we remove some oil and make the pores less obvious. Apply a thin mask on your nose, wait a few minutes, let the mask dry thoroughly, and then wash your nose.
Apply a local care mask up to 3 to 4 times a week. If your nose starts to feel dry, reduce the number of times you apply the mask.
If it is mixed skin, you can apply mud mask to your whole face 1 ~ 2 times, once a week, but the specific frequency should be according to the instructions of the mask.
4. Try protein Mask. Protein mask can tighten skin and make pores less obvious. When making a protein mask, mix the egg white of an egg, 5 ml lemon juice and 2.5 ml honey. Apply the mixture to the nose, wait for 10 to 15 minutes, let it dry, and then gently wash it off with warm water. You should only use the egg white part. To separate the egg white from the yolk, divide the egg in half. Pour the half without egg yolk into the bowl. Then carefully pour the egg yolk into the other half of the empty eggshell, and then pour the remaining egg white into the bowl.
To prevent dry skin, don't apply the mask more than once a week.
5. Absorb the grease from your nose with oil-absorbing paper. Although oil-absorbing paper can't shrink pores, it can remove grease. Oil-absorbing paper has two purposes: first, it can make pores less obvious; Second, it can reduce facial oil, thus preventing them from accumulating in pores.
Method 2: Keep pores clean and firm.
1, wash your face every day. The pores on the nose always accumulate grease and dirt, which is more obvious if you have oily skin or mixed skin. Only by removing these dirty things can the pores on the nose appear smaller. Keeping pores clean also helps to prevent pores from getting bigger and bigger, thus accumulating more dirt, grease and dead skin cells. Use a gentle cleanser every day.
Wash your face twice a day, or at least wash your nose twice. If washing your face twice a day will dry some areas of your face, you can only use a cleansing cloth on your nose.
2. Use toner or lotion. Toner or astringent water can temporarily tighten the skin and make pores look smaller. It will cause dry skin, so if you use it too much, your skin will secrete more oil. Dip a cotton ball in some toner or astringent water, and then gently rub it on clean skin. If it is mixed skin, it is best to gently wipe the nose or T area with toner or astringent water to prevent dry skin in other parts of the face.
Cucumber juice can be used as natural astringent water.
You can rub toner once or twice a day after washing your face, depending on the dryness of your skin. You can also try to use moisturizing toner to prevent dry skin.
3. Use moisturizing cream. Moisturized skin is not only smoother and fuller, but also does not secrete too much oil to relieve dryness. Too much oil can cause pores to clog and become bigger, especially the nose, which is itself an easy-to-oil part. Apply moisturizing cream in the morning and evening. Generally speaking, you should apply moisturizing cream after washing your face.
4. Apply sunscreen. Sunburn will weaken the skin and make it unable to keep firm. After the skin is relaxed, the pores will appear bigger. You should also wear a wide-brimmed hat if you can.
Buy a moisturizer containing sunscreen ingredients. If you want to make up, you can choose cosmetics containing sunscreen ingredients.
Choose SPF 30, a waterproof broad-spectrum sunscreen.
5. Exfoliate twice or three times a week. Exfoliation can remove dead skin cells and dirt and prevent them from entering pores. This can make pores appear smaller, prevent pores from expanding and accumulate more dirty things. You can buy products containing physical exfoliating agents such as sugar scrub or salt scrub, which can remove dead skin cells.
Chemical exfoliating agents can also be used to dissolve dead skin cells.
If it is mixed skin, you can exfoliate occasionally, so that other areas of the face will not be stimulated.
6. Tighten pores with ice cubes. After cleaning the pores on the nose, tighten them with ice. Rubbing your nose with ice can temporarily tighten your skin and make your pores less obvious. Do not freeze your skin for more than a few seconds. For too long, the skin will feel pain or frostbite.
Method 3: Look for products that protect pores.
1, choose products that will not cause acne. The product label "does not cause acne" means that it will not block pores. All your facial products, including facial cleanser, cosmetics and moisturizing cream, should have this feature.
2. Buy products containing salicylic acid. Salicylic acid can exfoliate and clear pores. Facial cleanser, acne cream and moisturizing cream may all contain this ingredient. Don't use too much salicylic acid on your face. First, only use a product containing salicylic acid to see how the skin reacts.
3. Use products containing retinol. Retinol can clean pores and make them look smaller. Some creams contain retinol. When using products containing retinol, be sure to apply sunscreen. Retinol makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight.
4. Buy products containing zinc or magnesium. Zinc and magnesium help to balance the oil in the skin and prevent pores from clogging. They can also clean pores. You can take zinc or magnesium through multivitamin tablets, and you can also look for products such as emulsion or foundation containing these ingredients. Zinc is usually found in sunscreen and cosmetics or moisturizers containing sunscreen ingredients. Some creams contain magnesium.
Method 4: Get professional care.
1. Ask someone to clear the pores and clean the pores on the nose. The beautician can manually remove dirt, grease and dead skin cells from the pores of the nose to make the pores look bigger. This kind of outpatient treatment is the safest way to remove the contents of nasal pores and will not cause more harm to the skin. If your pores are very blocked, you can do manual dredging once a month.
In all professional services, manual dredging is the cheapest and simplest choice, and it does not require recovery time.
If only the pores on the nose are blocked and enlarged, then this treatment may be your best choice.
2. Try to use microcrystalline dermabrasion to remove foreign bodies and brighten the skin. Professionals will apply microcrystals to your skin, which will wipe off dead skin cells, dirt and oil. The pores will look smaller after cleaning. In order to maintain this effect, you have to do this kind of care regularly. Doing microdermabrasion is like receiving a powerful facial treatment.
After the microcrystal is skinned, normal activities can be resumed on the same day.
Because the effect is temporary, you must take care every two to four weeks to maintain this effect.
3. Choose chemical peeling to remove dead skin cells. Chemical peeling can remove dead skin cells and oil that blocks pores. They can also smooth the skin, making pores look smaller. You can go to the dermatology department for chemical peeling. Doing chemical peeling on the surface or in the middle is like doing a strong facial care. Deep chemical peeling is a kind of treatment that needs to be taken seriously, more like a minor operation.
If you are doing surface chemical peeling, you may need to repeat the treatment regularly, such as every few months, to maintain the effect.
If you do intermediate chemical peeling, you may have to do it again after three to six months.
If you do deep chemical peeling, you may not be able to accept this treatment. This kind of operation can only be done once, and it is generally aimed at people with serious skin damage.
After chemical peeling, let the facial skin rest for 48 hours, and then make up or bask in the sun. If you do deep chemical peeling, the recovery period may be longer.
4. Receive laser treatment to shrink pores. Laser therapy is the only way to really shrink pores. Laser will remove the surface layer of skin, stimulate the skin to synthesize collagen, and make the skin look fuller. To receive laser treatment, you must see a dermatologist. You can only do laser treatment on your nose.
Laser therapy is the most expensive of all professional therapies for reducing pores.
Laser therapy such as Fraxel can bring long-term effects, while milder treatments such as laser Genesis usually need to be done several times, which depends on the judgment of dermatologists.
Method 5: Develop good habits.
1, don't break the skin defect. Breaking blackheads and acne will damage pores and make them look bigger. After damage, only professional treatment can make them shrink back, and sometimes professional treatment may not be effective.
2. Drink at least eight glasses of water every day. Although water can't directly shrink pores, it can keep skin moist and full and make pores less obvious. It can also prevent acne, thus preventing pores from expanding.
3. Be sure to remove makeup before going to bed. If you sleep without removing makeup, cosmetics will clog pores and make them look bigger and darker. Over time, pores will become larger and more obvious because of the blockage of cosmetics. Remove makeup before going to bed every day.
If you always forget to remove makeup, put a makeup remover cloth beside your bed to make it easier for you to remove makeup.
Wash your face before and after exercise. Although exercise can help you keep healthy, it will have a negative impact on your pores if you don't wash your face. During exercise, cosmetics or lotion on your face will block your pores, but if you don't wash your face after exercise, sweat and bacteria will penetrate into your pores. Quick cleaning can avoid pore blockage. Cleansing cloth is very suitable for cleaning skin quickly.
5. Don't eat foods rich in fat and unhealthy oils. Fats and unhealthy oils can worsen skin problems and enlarge pores. Try to eat less of this fat and grease to keep your skin beautiful. Healthy fats include monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids, while unhealthy fats include saturated fats and trans fats.
6. Clean the makeup brush. Grease will accumulate on the makeup brush and breed bacteria. If it is not cleaned regularly, these oils will clog pores, cause acne and make pores look bigger. Use makeup brush cleaner to remove dirt and keep your skin clean. Wash the makeup brush once a month, except for the eye makeup brush, and wash it twice a month.
7. Don't smoke. Smoking is harmful to the skin, including affecting pores. It will reduce skin elasticity and make it more difficult to keep pores tight. Get rid of this habit and make pores look smaller.
Tip: If you wear makeup, cover your pores with makeup cream. Toner can cover pores and make them look smaller.
