Many people, regardless of gender or age, may be concerned about the prominence of their pores. You may also feel depressed when you notice blackheads or sebum clogging in your pores.
Therefore, it is important to take proper care of your pores. It is important to review your face washing and moisturizing care.
In this context, some of you may have thought about using a facial device to effectively care for your pores. The following is an explanation of how facial equipment can be used to care for pores.
0.1 What are the causes of pore problems?
There are various causes of pore problems. Here is an explanation of each.
Excessive sebum secretion
One of the most common causes of pore problems is excessive sebum secretion. Excess sebum secreted by the pores causes the sebum to stay in the pores. A film of skin forms on top of it, causing further inflammation, which leads to acne.
Excessive sebum secretion, which causes acne, is unavoidable for young people who have reached puberty. Since it is difficult to reduce the amount of sebum that is produced during puberty and into one's twenties, it is important to wash one's face properly and keep it clean.
Trying to push out the sebum with your fingers or scratching around the pimples because they itch can cause more problems. Try to keep the area as clean and non-irritated as possible.
UV rays
UV rays are another cause of pore problems. The longer wavelengths of UV rays reach the dermis layer deep within the skin and cause serious damage. In the dermis layer, there are fibroblasts that produce collagen and hyaluronic acid, which keep the skin moisturized and make it look soft and supple, and UV rays deteriorate these cells. Exposure to ultraviolet rays causes the skin to lose its moisture and become flaky.
As the skin becomes flaky and dry, the secretion of sebum increases as a way of coping with the dryness of the skin. In order to expel the increased sebum, the pores also widen. This vicious cycle can lead to pore problems, so it is best to stay out of the UV rays as much as possible, or use sunscreen if it is unavoidable.
Fatty foods
To reduce sebum production, you need to change your diet by limiting the amount of fatty foods you eat.
Foods that stimulate the secretion of sebum are those that use a lot of oil, such as fried foods and snacks. Ramen noodles and instant noodles eaten in stores often contain oil and fat in the soup, and instant noodles often have their noodles fried in oil. Also, be aware that cakes and chocolates also contain fat.
By reducing the amount of foods that use a lot of oil and increasing the amount of vegetables you eat, you can expect to reduce the secretion of sebum. Also, be careful not to eat irregularly, and try to eat at regular times whenever possible.
Stress
Stress can be caused by a variety of factors, but it is important to deal with stress appropriately in order to prevent pore problems. Stress can lead to hormonal imbalance and excessive sebum production.
Excessive sebum production is a direct cause of pore problems. Controlling your own stress as much as possible will help you keep your skin beautiful and free of wrinkles and blackheads.
0.2 Can I use a facial device to treat my pores?
Facial devices are also effective in treating pores. The following is an explanation of the effects of facial appliances in treating pores.
Removes dirt from pores
A facial cleanser with a cleansing function can be expected to remove dirt from the pores. To begin with, you can wash your face to remove dirt, but depending on how you wash, you may not be able to properly remove dirt from your pores, which may worsen your pore problems.
If you want to remove dirt from your pores in a big way, it is better to rely on a facial cleanser that has a steam function to help remove dirt. It will be necessary to choose a facial device that can serve the purpose of improving the dirt in your pores.
Prevent sagging
Pores are originally round in shape, but when the flesh of the face sags, the pores may stretch vertically and stand out as if pulled by the sagging. In order to prevent sagging, it may be effective to strengthen the facial muscles and lift up the face.
At the same time, smoothing out the blood circulation and lymphatic flow will help eliminate waste products. There are lifting exercises available, but if you use a facial device with EMS function that works on facial muscles in a short time, you can expect both lifting and waste removal.
Promotes blood circulation
By promoting blood circulation, sufficient nutrients can reach the skin cells. This allows for a smoother metabolism of the stratum corneum, which in turn makes the skin more elastic and vibrant.
Improving lymphatic flow as well as blood circulation can also help reduce swelling. For this purpose, using a facial device that uses radio waves can be effective. The radio waves generate heat, which improves the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid.
In addition, radio waves work deep into the skin to activate "fibroblasts," which in turn produce collagen and hyaluronic acid.
For those who suffer from pore problems, using a facial device equipped with radio waves will be effective.
0.3 Types of facial equipment effective for pore care
There are various types of facial equipment that are effective in treating pores. Since pore problems can be caused by a variety of factors, including dirt and aging, it is important to use the appropriate facial device for each.
Water peeling beauty equipment
A water peeling device uses ultrasonic waves to release a fine mist of water to remove dirt from the skin.
This makes it easier to remove dirt clogged in pores that are difficult to remove with normal cleansing.
Ion-induction facial device
In contrast to ion-introduction, this device uses positive ions to absorb dirt with a negative nature that gets stuck in pores, such as foundation particles.
In most cases, a cotton ball is attached to the device, so you can visually check the amount of dirt removed.
EMS Facial Machine
The best way to eliminate the appearance of pores caused by sagging due to aging is to use EMS to strengthen facial muscles and lift them up.
As the facial muscles are strengthened and lifted, the surface of the skin is tightened and pores become less noticeable.
LED (Red) Facial Machine
The red color of the LED stimulates collagen production, blood circulation, and epidermal regeneration, making the skin more resilient and less prone to dirt buildup.
LED (yellow) facial cleanser
The LED (yellow) light source helps to regulate the turnover of the stratum corneum, making it easier to remove dirt from the pores and preventing the buildup of dirt in the pores.
Core Pulse (Polation) Facial Machine
Core Pulse is a technology that can temporarily create gaps in skin cells and deliver active ingredients deep into the skin.
Collagen and hyaluronic acid, which are essential for skin elasticity and cannot be introduced by iontophoresis, can be penetrated into the skin, making it plumper and firmer and reducing the appearance of sagging pores.
