A dermatologist guide to open pores and dull skin treatment

We all lead a busy lifestyle and as we all started spending more time indoors , there has been a tremendous change in our routines. Skin is a mirror of our inside and is reflective of our inner health. A good skin health also ensures that we are confident in our daily life. One of the most bewildering of skin complaints is ‘dull skin’ and ‘open pores’. Here we present the most effective tips to get rid of open pores and dull skin

1. Use a Gentle cleanser to remove the daily dirt and grime. You can read more on ‘ How to choose a cleanser’ on https://www.drdivyasharma.com/how-to-choose-the-right-cleanser-by-Dr.-Divya-Sharma.
2. Do  not scrub your skin physically too much.

2. Use a moisturizer even if you have oily skin

Prefer a pH balanced oil control moisturizer if you have oily skin. If you are having dry skin, prefer a squalene based moisturizer

3. Do not squeeze or pop your pimples as they lead to wide open pores or scars. Use a dermatologist recommended treatment for pimples or blackheads/whiteheads.

4. Use a Good sunscreen with minimum SPF of 15 and non comedogenic, gel based if you have oily skin. Do not skip it even if you are indoors.

5. Use a Vitamin C serum or gel daily to rejuvenate your skin. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and skin lightening agent.

6. Use a Retinol based cream at night. It helps to shrink the pores to some extent and helps in skin rejuvenation. It can be used in combination with hyaluronic acid if the skin is too dry or prone for sensitivity.

7. Radiofrequency Microneedling radiofrequency is the procedure of choice for minimizing the open pores and prevent other fine lines. Dr. Divya Sharma advocates Fractional Sublative rejuvenation for improving stubborn pigmentation.

8. Antioxidant Rich Diet is a must to improve dull skin and bring skin glow. Please lead an active lifestyle and make sure that you stay well hydrated.
