About one year ago we released the how to stop acne video, now still to this day
I honestly can't believe how well it's done the amount love it's had, the amount
of views it's had, nearly 1 million thank you! Now by far one of the most common
comments on that video was about pores and more specifically how to shrink them
so we decided let's do a full video on this topic let's begin
ok so why do we get enlarged pores well we all have pores but enlarged pores are depressions
in the facial skin that carry things like oil that carry sweat from their
respective glands so it's completely normal and enlarged pores can be seen in
all ages and all ethnicities however certain ethnicities do tend to have
larger pores for instance those of African and those of Indian ancestry
background done now let's see how we can shrink these pores
so tip number one as we age our skin
becomes less elastic and that's a normal process of ageing and there's not
actually much we can do about that but sun damage can also cause ageing of the
skin and it can lead to enlarged pores now if you live in the UK or you live in
a country with a similar climate you probably only see the sun once or twice
a year the rest of the year is always cloudy and I said that with such a
serious face but in reality we do see the sun but it is cloudy a lot at a
time and you might think to yourself well it's always cloudy I don't even see
the Sun I'm not gonna get some damage but that's where you're wrong because
these UV rays can still penetrate and it can still damage the skin so if you
haven't figured it out yet tip one is all about using a good sunscreen every
single day that protects you against both UVA and UVB radiation now if you're
thinking to yourself but Abraham which sunscreen do I buy just tell me well the
good news is I made a video on this not long ago I'll leave a link up here and in
the description below on how to buy the best sunscreen from any pharmacy what
ingredients to look out for and everything you need to know so if you
feel like you need more information on this topic feel free to watch it at the
end of this video which leads me on to tip number two have you ever heard of
sebum well if you haven't you're not missing out on much so don't worry but
it's basically the oil that we secrete from our face and scalp from our
sebaceous glands now here's the thing increased sebum
can lead to enlarged pores now sebum production depends on many things like
age it depends on gender and even weight now a lot of these you can't really do
anything about but there have been reports that if you are overweight and
if you lose weight it can help reduce sebum production and help reduce the
appearance of enlarged pores tip number three non comedogenic skincare products
which is basically a fancy word for products that aren't going to clog your
pores because when you pores clog they expand and it can make them appear much
larger so to avoid clogged pores look for any of the following terms on
skincare products that you use on your face and if you don't see them then
avoid using which moves me on to tip number four acne I'm afraid it is
associated with enlarged pore so what we need to do is keep it under control with
the correct care and treatment to avoid it from becoming inflammatory and
enlarging those pores now if you haven't seen my how to treat acne video I will
leave a link up here and in the description below for you so feel free
to watch it but please remember that if the tips aren't helping your acne is getting
worse and you are in distress then please always speak to your doctor
tip number five don't leave it remember as we age
generally speaking pores are going to get bigger so if you see no improvements
and it's not getting any better then always beat you doctor first make them
aware of this they may prescribe you some treatments because there are
treatments available that can help some of them can even reduce sebum production
that we spoke about earlier I really hope my tips help you in this week's
video and if you have any of your own tips then please share it with us leave
a comment below I'd love to read it and I'm sure everyone watching this video
