Which Type Are You? Explanation of 3 types of pore problems
Did you know that there are three major types of pore problems? Since improvement cannot be expected without choosing the right care method and cosmetics for each pore problem, it is important to first clarify what kind of pore problem you are suffering from. Therefore, we will now explain the types of pore problems.
Pore problem type 1: “Sagging pores
As the name suggests, sagging pores are pores that are sagging and shaped like a droplet. The main cause is aging, and like sagging skin, sagging pores are easily caused by scrubbing, which is common among men. When you hear the word “aging,” you may think that it cannot be cured. However, a lotion containing ingredients effective in anti-aging care, such as niacinamide and retinol, can be expected to improve the condition.
Pore Trouble Type (2) “Open Pore
Pores are characterized by the appearance of small holes in the skin. This type of pore problem is often seen in men and is said to be caused by excessive sebum secretion and keratin plugs. Therefore, it is recommended to first wash the face to remove sebum and then tighten the pores with an astringent lotion. In addition, to solve the problem from the root, we should pay attention to lotion that balances the moisture content of the skin.
Pore Trouble Type (3) “Blackhead Pores
Blackhead pores, which are blackened pores, are a pore problem that often occurs mainly on the nose. Like open pores, blackheads are common among men’s pore problems and are said to be caused by the oxidation of sebum and keratin. In some cases, melanin is deposited due to friction caused by excessive grooming, so care should be taken not to touch them too much. Lotion containing whitening ingredients is effective for such blackhead pores.
