毛孔粗大是人们常见的皮肤问题之一，名人模特照片上被PS成隐形的毛孔使得问题更加严重

缩小毛孔的爽肤水和面膜都很受欢迎，但是他们真的有效吗？接下来我们来学习一下安全（短暂地）缩小毛孔的技巧，用我的三个杀手级产品

但首先，我们先揭露几个关于毛孔的真相

毛孔谬论1: 你的鼻子上布满黑头

这可能不是真的，那些T区脸上或者其他地方看起来粗大且深色的毛孔其实是皮脂细丝（Sebaceous Filaments简称SFs），由皮脂，细菌，坏死皮肤细胞和一根毛发填充了粗大的毛孔

这个方法就是针对SFs的

毛孔谬论2: 毛孔可以“缩小”遗憾的是，你可以用我的技巧短暂地使毛孔看起来小一些，但是你不可能实际地使毛孔的真实大小改变

让肌肤饱满和润泽可以帮到一些，但是实际上，毛孔多大就是多大，唯一的例外是当毛孔被撕拉或者伤害，通常是用了撕拉贴或者面膜后

那些撕拉贴或者能帮你拉出一些皮脂细丝，而且我也知道当看大那些东西被撕拉出来后会感觉很爽，但是也会因为对皮肤对伤害使毛孔不能变回原样，那样问题就更加严重了，所以不建议用这个方法

也不要抠，挤或者用针按压，所有这些都可能导致皮肤受损而毛孔永久粗大

毛孔谬论3:毛孔可以张开和关闭毛孔没有开合之说

脸上都每个毛孔周围都没有肌肉，肌肤的弹性和松性取决于你对它做了什么还有对它用了什么

通过热毛巾敷脸或者蒸脸打开毛孔从而让护肤品更好渗入这个说法也是伪科学

用冷水或者收敛水去敷脸可以缩毛孔也是伪科学

使毛孔看起来小而且脸看起来干净的最好办法是定期对毛孔进行清洁

让我们来看看方法

当要清洁毛孔时，我会用重量级产品

清理皮脂细丝需要什么？当你要要用去除皮脂细丝来使毛孔看起来小，你需要大概一个小时，最好是在早上，还有这3样东西1
2%的水杨酸（PH在3-4之间）推荐的牌子有宝拉珍选， COSRX，Stridex2
粘土面膜，我喜欢悦诗风吟的， 但是所有粘土面膜都可以， 另外没有那么干的Elizavecca也可以

3
乳化的洁面油，矿物油最好怎样清理毛孔减少皮脂细丝？Note：最好的时间是在早上，你的正常护肤步骤之前，这样你不需要在这个方法之前清洁一次然后结尾又清洁一次

1
使用水杨酸（如果你皮肤干， 你可以只针对要清洁的区域），因为水杨酸是可以溶于油的，它可以渗透皮脂填满毛孔，使脏东西更好地清除

等20-25分钟让水杨酸起效

2
不用洗掉水杨酸，继续使用粘土面膜，面膜时间根据具体产品要求而定

3
用温水洗掉粘土面膜，不要用太热的水因为用了水杨酸和粘土面膜之后脸已经很干了4
用洁面油，等15分钟，油可以让毛孔里的脏东西浮出表面

然后按摩脸2-3分钟，如果奏效的话，这时候你应该感觉到有东西出来了

就是这些东西就是让你看起来毛孔粗大

不要大力按压皮肤，按摩时间不要超过5分钟

即使你没有感觉有脏东西出来，这几个步骤一样能使的你毛孔干净从而毛孔看起来小了很多

5
按摩之后洗掉洁面油，然后继续你的护肤日常

HOW TO SHRINK PORES (TEMPORARILY), PLUS 3 PORE MYTHSVisible pores rank as one of the most common complaints people have about their skin, and photos of models and celebrities with their pores Photoshopped into oblivion make pore problems seem even worse
“Pore-shrinking” toners and masks are always popular, but can they really work? Find out why not and learn how to safely shrink pores (temporarily) with my three-product Super Pore Killer technique!But first, let’s debunk some common pore myths
Pore Myth 1: Your nose is covered in blackheads
That is probably untrue
Those enlarged and darkened pores on your T-zone and sometimes on other areas of your face are much more likely to be sebaceous filaments (SFs), which are essentially a mixture of sebum, bacteria, dead skin cells, and a single hair (I know, I know, gross) that have filled up a large pore
SFs are what this method addresses
Pore Myth 2: Pores can be “shrunk
”Sadly, while you can temporarily diminish the appearance of your pores using techniques like mine, you can’t physically shrink the actual size of your pores
Keeping skin plump and hydrated can help, but in general, the size of your pores is the size of your pores
The only exception I can think of is when pores are stretched out and damaged, usually through the use of peel-off pore strips or pore masks
Those peel-off pore strips may pull out some SFs, and I know it feels awesome to use one and then see how much gross stuff is stuck to the strip afterwards, but the damage they can cause your pores is not reversible and will make the problem worse in the long run, so don’t do it
Also avoid picking at your SFs, squeezing them, or using those little metal extractor tools, all of which also put you in danger of permanently enlarged pores
Pore Myth 3: Pores open and close
Pores do not open and close
There aren’t little tiny muscles around every pore in your face, flexing and relaxing depending on what you’re doing to your skin or what you’ve applied to it
The idea that a warm washcloth or steam treatment will “open” your pores to allow products to penetrate more deeply is a myth
And the idea that a splash of cold water or an astringent toner will “close” your pores is also a myth
As I mentioned above, the size of your pores is the size of your pores
The best thing you can do to make your pores look smaller and your face clearer is to regularly clean out your pores
So let’s find out how!说明: ow to shrink poresWhen it comes to clearing out my pores, I bring out the big guns
What you need to get rid of sebaceous filamentsTo clear out your SFs and shrink your pores’ appearance with my technique, you’ll need about an hour, preferably in the morning, and these three items:A 2% BHA product with a pH between 3 and 4
Maximum Strength Stridex*, Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant*, and COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid* (full review) all work, but any BHA with the correct percentage and pH will do
A clay mask
I like the Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask*, but just about any other clay mask will do as well
For something a bit less drying and a bit more fun, I love Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask* (Instagram review)!An emulsifying oil cleanser, preferably mineral oil-based, or a pure carrier oil
Mineral oil seems to work best
I use my HG illi Total Aging Care cleansing Oil* (full review)
How to clear out your pores for fewer SFsNote: The best time to do this is in the morning, before your regular morning skin care routine
This way, you won’t have to cleanse first and then again at the end of this process
Apply your BHA product
(If you have dry or dehydrated skin, you may want to limit your BHA and the rest of this process to only the areas of your face where your SFs are most visible
) Because BHAs are oil soluble, they’ll be able to penetrate deep into the sebum filling up your pores, loosening the gunk to make it easier to remove with the following steps
Wait 20-25 minutes to allow the BHA to do its job
Without washing off the BHA, apply your clay mask
Wait for however long the clay mask instructions specify
Rinse off your clay mask with tepid to lukewarm water
Be careful with your water temperature here, as both your BHA and clay mask can be quite drying, and you don’t want to overdry your skin by throwing hot water at it on top of that
Dry your face
Apply your cleansing oil or carrier oil
Wait 15 minutes
The oil will help draw the gunk in your pores to the surface
Gently massage your face or areas you’re treating for 2-3 minutes
If all has gone well, at this point you’ll feel tiny little grains coming out of your pores! These are the clogs that have been making your pores more visible
Many people call them “grits,” and getting grits out of your face is an amazingly satisfying feeling
Do not apply too much pressure to your skin or massage for longer than 5 minutes, tops
Doing so can result in broken capillaries, and those can’t be fixed without pricey laser treatments
Don’t worry if you don’t feel the grits
Some people don’t, either because the clogs are too small or because there wasn’t enough sebum and dead skin buildup to create grits
Even if you don’t feel any coming out, this process is still clearing your pores and reducing their appearance
After the oil massage, emulsify and rinse off your cleansing oil or wash off your carrier oil as usual
Continue with your regular skin care routine
At this point, you should notice that the appearance of your pores is visibly reduced
Congratulations! Pores that suffer from sebaceous filaments do inevitably fill back up, usually within a few days, but treating them with my Super Pore Killer method once or twice a week should help keep them at bay
