Home care methods to reduce pore size

I've noticed that some people, despite diligently applying sunscreen in the summer, skip it because they find it bothersome. However, the fact is that sunscreen is the very last and most important step of your skincare routine! Sunscreens are divided into organic and inorganic types. Organic sunscreens absorb and neutralize UV ​​rays, while inorganic sunscreens work by coating the skin to deflect them away. Organic sunscreens do not leave a white cast but can cause breakouts, whereas inorganic sunscreens are less irritating but do leave a white cast. The choice is ultimately a matter of personal preference. However, do not forget that it is important to develop a habit of applying sunscreen properly to prevent collagen denaturation caused by aging. Since masks cannot block 100% of UV rays, it is best to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going out and reapply it every two hours.

True to Korea's status as a powerhouse in the cosmetics industry, new products flood the market every day, captivating women's hearts. Furthermore, products advertised by famous celebrities often give the impression that simply applying them will instantly make your skin clear. However, applying too much is by no means good for your skin; in fact, it can be toxic and cause breakouts. Above all, using cosmetics that suit your skin type appropriately is the most important thing. You should identify your skin type (dry, normal, or oily) and simply apply a cleansing, toner, lotion, and cream routine. Using a hydrating mask in the hot summer and a nourishing mask in the dry winter is also a good practice.

Many people usually just wash their face with water in the morning, but this is not a good method. A lot of sebum rises through the pores while you sleep, and if you don't remove it at this time, the pores become clogged. Clogged pores can lead to conditions such as acne and keratosis pilaris. However, you shouldn't just scrub vigorously with any soap either. In the morning, gently wash your face with lukewarm water using a mild, slightly acidic cleansing foam. Surprisingly, the lather removes impurities even without scrubbing hard, so please roll it gently over your face.
