Do Your Pores Get Bigger as You Age?

Your pore size is basically determined by genetics, sun exposure, your age and anything that can impact your sebaceous-oil gland.

The firmer your skin is, the less visible your pores will be. Unfortunately, time doesn’t treat our pores well, and the loss of firmness that occurs over the years can cause the appearance of large pores. While they won’t technically widen, your pores do tend to look bigger as you age. This is largely due to the loss of collagen, which is responsible for keeping your skin tight. As you age, your body’s storage of collagen and elastin fibers start breaking down.

Gravity also plays a role, pulling the skin in a downward motion. As this continues, your pores begin to stretch, distending and taking on more of an oval shape.

Do You Have Large Pores on Your Face? Does It Bother Your Appearance?

Plus, we need to be aware of the impact of "sebaceous lines" on our appearance even more than age-related collagen loss.

Excess build up of skin cells and oil can also expand the follicle and cause enlarged pores. It starts when your oil glands make too much oil. This oil then combines with dead skin, dirt, make up and together they clog the pore. This blockage does not allow the free flow of the oil which makes the pores expand, causing enlarged pores. Enlarged pores are very common around the nose area, which typically has more oil glands. These blockages, once exposed to the air, oxidise, forming blackheads.

So, how can we improve enlarged pores and blackheads? The secret to this lies in learning from the beauty traditions that Japanese women hold dear.

The Secret of Beautiful Skin: Essential Skincare Rituals of Japanese Women - The Power of Cleansing

Japanese women have long been admired for their beautiful skin. The secret to their radiance lies in the skincare rituals they have practiced. Among these, particular attention is drawn to the cleansing process.

Cleansing is the first step in the journey to address pore concerns. Japanese women incorporate daily makeup removal into their routines, valuing the maintenance of clean and healthy skin. The results are significant, and the beautiful skin of Japanese women is a testament to that.

A Ritual of Respect for the Skin

The cleansing process is like magic. In the first step, the cleansing agent dissolves makeup and lifts impurities from deep within the pores. Then, by gently washing with a foaming cleanser, all impurities are thoroughly swept away from the skin.

In Japan, skincare is an act of self-respect, and the cleansing ritual is a way to honor one's own skin. Japanese skincare enthusiasts often use gentle gel-based cleansers to effectively remove makeup, sunscreen, and impurities without compromising the skin's natural oils. This meticulous process helps prevent the vicious cycle of pore problems that can lead to excessive sebum production. Particularly after the age of 50, the rapid decrease in estrogen leads to dryness and increased sensitivity in the skin, making careful consideration for the skin even more crucial.

Commitment to Addressing Pore Concerns

The beautiful skin of Japanese women is supported by the cleansing process. By carefully removing makeup and impurities, the skin is liberated from pore concerns, maintaining a healthy and radiant skin.

Our Clear Gel Cleanse is an ideal way to incorporate this Japanese beauty tradition. Developed as a makeup remover that allows you to experience the effects on your pores without burdening the skin.

1. Focus on Water

Clear Gel Cleanse is a makeup remover that focuses on water, the essence of life. The base water is produced by a patented process that makes it possible to reduce surfactants to the minimum. Surfactants are the key to removing oil and makeup that usually cannot be cleansed with just water. However, surfactants can also strip away the essential moisture from the skin. Our patented water is designed to reduce this surfactants to the minimum while enhancing the cleaning power. (Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-156837)

Focusing on Water Is A Key to Beautiful Skin

Our patented water has a high affinity with the skin and helps to lift makeup, making it easier to remove impurities while preventing irritation. Also, it has the effect of enhancing skin penetration of active ingredients and boosting skincare effects.

5. Change the Future of Your Pores

Our starting point was an aesthetic salon that we opened in 2002. We have dealt with the problems of more than 20,000 women, and one of the problems that many women consulted us about during treatment was pores. Pores can be treated at aesthetic clinics, but if they are treated every day, it can cost a lot of money. If treated only once a month, the condition will get better temporarily, but it will eventually return to its original state. So we arrived at the answer: "In order to achieve truly healthy skin, basic skincare products must be fully functional."

First and most importantly, daily skincare is the key to treat pores. Especially, daily makeup removal, a step which removes makeup and impurities accumulated in pores, is important. Our Clear Gel Cleanse is a makeup remover chosen by many customers for its gentleness to the skin and effectiveness on pores.
