SKIN CARE : What Causes Clogged Pores

 

SKIN CARE

Blocked pores can happen to anyone - even those of us who follow a strict skin care routine. As the root of acne, pores were clogged for anything from blackheads to uneven skin. What causes clogged pores? We share the five guilty parties below.

DEAD SKIN

The upper layer of the skin - the epidermis - constantly creates new skin cells and sheds the old skin. If these dead skin cells have the potential to build - because of dry skin, lack of peeling or other factors - they can clog the pores.

EXCESS OIL

The next layer of our skin - dermis - glands homes, which are responsible for creating natural oils from our skin. These oils, called sebum, help keep our skin soft and moist. Sometimes, these sebaceous glands in the glans, create a lot of oil and cause dead skin cells to stick and pores.

HORMONAL CHANGES

When our bodies pass through hormonal ups and downs, the amount of oil that our skin produces can change. This means that periods, pregnancy and puberty can lead to an unfortunate surge in oil causing clogged pores and acne.

OVER-EXFOLIATING

While peeling away dead skin cells seems to be the solution to any problem-impaled pores, exaggeration can only make the problem worse. When over-peeling you end up drying the skin, add another layer of blockage. Dryness then causes your skin to overcombenzate with more oil production, further clogged pores.

HAIR AND SKIN PRODUCTS

Your favorite beauty products can be because of your banned skin. Many products can contain formulas with plug-ins clogged pores. Look for products with "non-comedogen" on the label, which means that the formula should not lead to clogged pores.
