Causes of Blackheads and Large Pores.
Dilated pores and blackheads are generally observed on the T-zone of the face, from the forehead, the wing of the nose to the chin. However, in the case of oily skin, these imperfections are located all over the face. They give a grainy and irregular appearance to the skin. However, many other factors can be at the origin of dilated pores and blackheads:
An unhealthy lifestyle: Smoking, alcohol, stress or an unbalanced diet can disrupt the activity of the sebaceous glands ;
The environment: Heat, exposure to the sun and pollution encourage the dilation of pores, the thickening of the corneal layer, the overproduction of sebum, and therefore the development of blackheads;
Unsuitable cosmetic care: The use of too aggressive or comedogenic care products can clog pores and trap sebum;
Hormonal fluctuations: Puberty, menstrual cycle, change of contraception or menopause… are times that are conducive to the appearance of blackheads.
Which Oil to Choose for Clear Skin?
Jojoba vegetable oil is a perfect ally for pimples, blackheads, and other blemishes. It is composed of esters, saturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and sterols. It also contains non-saponifiable matter, which helps to fight against aging and protect the skin from external aggressions. The composition of this oil is similar to that of sebum, secreted by the body. Jojoba oil has a sebum-regulating action, which regulates the flow of sebum responsible for the dilation of pores and the formation of blackheads, while strengthening the hydrolipidic film. Moreover, it softens and alleviates the sensitive skins. It also relieves irritations as well as redness, in addition to protecting the skin against the external aggressions. Moreover, it attenuates the wrinkles and redensifies the dermal tissue.
