The main reasons for the appearance
So let's start with the reasons. Regardless of skin type, the following may be the main causes of enlarged pores:
- Genetic predisposition.
- Improper skin care.
- Harmful effects of environmental factors.
- Bad habits.
- Stress and poor nutrition.
- Diseases of the intestines and stomach.
- Using low-quality or inappropriate decorative cosmetics.
- Chronic fatigue and sleep disturbance.
- Dehydration.
- Hormonal imbalance.
- Gynecological diseases.
In addition to improper care, the reasons for the appearance of oily skin with enlarged pores are a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin, with the subsequent formation of so-called holes in the places where the sebaceous glands emerge. A similar problem is also caused by the use of fatty creams and the abuse of scrubs.
The reason for the appearance of dry skin with enlarged pores may be insufficient activity of the sebaceous glands and improper care. With this problem, it is important to provide the skin with daily toning, cleansing, moisturizing and protection from adverse environmental factors. In addition, you should not wash your face with tap water, dry your skin with a towel, or use products containing alcohol.
The cause of dehydrated skin with enlarged pores may be a lack of fluid in the body and in skin cells. Therefore, with such a problem, it is necessary to drink at least two liters of fluid daily, and provide proper care to the skin so that it does not quickly lose water. It is a mistake to believe that only dry skin can be dehydrated. This problem is also inherent in oily and combination skin.
Differences between skin types
Skin type is determined genetically and cannot be changed on your own. However, there are a number of external and internal factors that influence typical differences, and the main one is age.
The dermis is sensitive to hormonal changes in the body. In adolescence, the fatty type is observed in 80% of cases; at the age of 20-25 years, dry and normal skin is noted, and from 30-35 years, dry skin predominates (the function of the sebaceous glands decreases). Hormonal and climatic changes may also be the cause. It is important to periodically perform self-diagnosis of the skin condition in order to adjust care to its new needs. *
How to determine your type?
We use a universal method: thoroughly cleanse the face of decorative cosmetics and care products using foam cleanser. After 2-3 hours, we press a paper napkin to the areas of the face and carefully examine: the presence of greasy spots indicates oily skin, the absence indicates dry skin, the presence of isolated spots indicates normal skin. In addition, it is necessary to assess the visual condition of the skin for the presence of redness, peeling or acne.
The dry type has a uniform tone and fine structure. It is characterized by constant discomfort caused by a feeling of tightness. Due to lack of hydration, the dermis becomes hypersensitive to negative influences from the environment, especially during the cold season. Reacts sharply to mechanical and thermal influences (aggressive cleansing, hot water, decorative cosmetics). Dry types are especially recommended to regularly use cosmetics high in ceramides. Ultra-moisturizing Cera Cream for face and body instantly reduces discomfort and is ideal under makeup.
The oily type has a shiny appearance, enlarged pores and blackheads (orange, lemon peel). This type is most prone to the formation of comedones and milia.
The combination type is a combination of oily and dry. More often, the T-shaped zone (nose, chin) is characterized by signs of an oily type, while in other areas the skin is dry or, less commonly, normal. Easily irritated, prone to inflammation, requires comprehensive care.
Normal skin has a fresh appearance and uniform tone and is distinguished by the correct functioning of the sebaceous glands. This type has no signs of hypersensitivity, flaking or oily sheen. The main rule when caring is to maintain its healthy condition for as long as possible and slow down the aging process.
Assessing the condition
The condition of facial skin is its reaction to cosmetic care, weather conditions, medications, decorative cosmetics, which can manifest itself as dryness, peeling, the appearance of fine wrinkles and age spots.
The condition, unlike the type, can change under the influence of external and internal factors:
- hormonal changes;
- disruption of metabolic processes in the body;
- insufficient consumption of clean water;
- poor nutrition (or frequent consumption of low-quality foods);
- influence from the environment (cold, humidity, sun).
The results of modern research in the field of dermatology indicate how important the microbiome plays in the protective function of the epidermis. The state of the microbiome is influenced by environmental conditions, lifestyle, emotional state and daily care cosmetics.
CERAMED has developed a series of high-tech facial care. Cera serums have an innovative composition based on ceramides, pro- and prebiotics, as well as a high concentration of active components. They have a complex effect on the immune system of the dermis and compensate for defects in the intercellular structure. They solve a specific problem corresponding to the type and have a preventive effect on maintaining an optimal level of hydration of the epidermis.
How to get rid of enlarged pores with oily skin
To combat enlarged pores on oily skin, it is recommended to visit effective salon treatments. The latter include:
- Peeling, which allows you to remove the stratum corneum of dead cells and renew the surface of the skin. For oily skin, mechanical, enzymatic and chemical peeling is suitable. The procedure should be carried out approximately once a week. The course often includes 3-4 procedures. Peeling is not recommended in winter, as in winter the skin becomes more sensitive and dry.
- Moisturizing procedures allow not only to enrich skin cells with the necessary moisture, but also to improve metabolic processes. For this purpose, salons use masks based on hyaluronic acid, alginates, etc.
- Facial cleansing is a mandatory procedure for oily skin with very enlarged pores. It allows you to remove dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. Cleaning can be mechanical, ultrasonic, vacuum, etc. The procedure should be carried out 3-4 times a month.
- A therapeutic massage that helps unclog pores and remove sebum. The procedure should be carried out between facial cleansings.
Salon care for oily, dehydrated skin
The main rule of caring for oily skin is to saturate it with moisture. The best option is to apply a moisturizing mask to your face.

Is your skin dry and oily at the same time? Here's how to deal with it!
What an unfair and confusing contradiction it is to suffer from dry and oily skin, but it is a very common problem. If your skin fluctuates wildly on both the oily and dry spectrum, you probably blame this harsh reality on genetics—or just plain bad luck. Using the wrong products for your skin type can lead to an imbalance, which can subsequently lead to dehydrated (not dry) skin and increased sebaceous glands. Don't know how to provide comfort to your capricious skin? We have a solution here...
Stop calling your skin dry.
Dry skin lacks the ability to produce oil, so if your skin looks dry but appears oily, your skin is actually dehydrated. When our skin is dehydrated, it may feel tight and itchy, but will appear oily. This unfortunate phenomenon occurs because when the skin is not properly hydrated, the sebaceous glands will begin to pump out sebum to protect the skin barrier. The result is a radiant complexion that still feels dried out.
Check your facial cleanser.
A common culprit for dehydrated skin is washing your face. Harsh cleansers designed to combat oil and pimples may be too harsh for many of us and may do more harm than good. Sulfates (a standard ingredient in many soaps and detergents) are added to absorb oil from the skin as well as moisturize the skin. Swap out your current cleanser with a gentle but deep cleanser like Yon-Ka's Nettoyant Gel. Formulated without ammonium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate, this cleanser cleanses skin and removes makeup without stripping.
Be careful when cleaning.
Cleansing with proper exfoliation is important, as are the steps you take immediately after. When working with dehydrated skin, it is necessary to tone and moisturize the skin immediately after washing your face. When you wait too long, you miss the perfect window to hydrate your skin. Allowing your skin to "breathe" can cause dehydration, so dab on a toner as soon as you're done cleansing and follow up with a moisturizer right away.
Moisturize your skin with the right ingredients.
Like dry, dehydrated skin requires moisture, but not the same type. For dry skin, emollients such as beeswax and olive oil found in PS Yon-Ka cream are used, but dehydrated skin needs moisturizers such as hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid helps treat dehydration, and when used in a lightweight formula like HYDRA N° 1 Fluide, is the ideal solution for oily skin.
Address seasonal dehydration.
If the cold weather is causing your skin to act strangely, it may be due to a loss of moisture. Prevent this seasonal skin woes by using a moisturizer while you sleep. Instead of dry air pulling moisture away from your skin, a humidifier will keep the moisture in place. At night, your skin is also at its most permeable, so applying moisturizer and moisturizing with a moisturizer will allow your skin to repair and replenish. The relaxation salon at its best!
Summer care goals for combination skin
When choosing products for the care of combination skin in the summer, it is necessary to take into account not only the impact of provoking factors, but also the reactions of different areas of the facial skin to them.
- Regulate the functioning of the sebaceous glands in the T-zone . It is in summer that activity is most increased, which leads to blockages and subsequently rashes.
- Regular elimination of hyperkeratosis , which inevitably appears on all areas of the facial skin. You need a product that works effectively and delicately and does not dry out the skin of the entire face.
- Moisturizing the skin - it is important to monitor the water balance of the skin, preventing dehydration.
- Protecting the skin from the sun - prevents dehydration, photoaging and pigmentation.
