Concern about enlarged pores has grown in recent years, especially among those seeking smoother, blemish-free skin. Dermocosmetic specialists have emphasized that while using specific products is important, adjusting certain lifestyle habits is essential for achieving visible, long-term results.
Nutrition plays a significant role in skin health. Marta Agustí, nutritional advisor at Advanced Nutrition Programme, notes that while foods do not directly affect pore size, they can influence oil production. Diets high in fats or processed foods can lead to excess sebum, which, when accumulated in pores, makes them look larger and promotes the appearance of blackheads. Mireia Fernández, dermocosmetic director at Perricone MD, warns that if this buildup of fat is not properly managed, it can oxidize and cause blemishes on the skin.
On the other hand, harmful habits like smoking and alcohol consumption significantly affect skin health. Estefanía Nieto, from Medik8, explains that smoking limits the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the skin and leads to vasodilation, making pores appear larger. Raquel González, cosmetologist at Byoode, adds that alcohol tends to dehydrate the skin and cause inflammation, which accentuates the visibility of pores.
In the cosmetic field, the importance of using active ingredients that exfoliate and promote skin regeneration is highlighted. Isabel Reverte, dermocosmetic director at Ambari, mentions that acids like glycolic, salicylic, and retinol are crucial for reducing the appearance of pores. Nieto adds that the buildup of dead skin cells contributes to an unflattering appearance, and a regenerative approach using ingredients such as retinal and vitamin C can be beneficial.
Although it is a myth that pores can be “closed,” it is possible to improve their appearance. González explains that by removing dead skin cells and stimulating the creation of new tissue, pores can appear smaller and the skin can look more even.
For those seeking specific products, there are exfoliants and serums that help combat enlarged pores. Among the recommendations are the Adzuki & Ragi Fantasy Exfoliant from Byoode, the Gold Profection22 Mask from Ambari, the Daily Brightening & Exfoliating Peel from Perricone MD, and the Press & Clear from Medik8. Additionally, for post-care, the Retin-A Night Serum from Byoode and Liquid Peptides Advanced from Medik8 are among the options suggested by experts.
