As the weather gets warmer, I am particularly concerned about my pores.

As the weather gets warmer these days, I've been really worried because my pores look more prominent. The warm wind and UV rays are causing my sebum to increase, and I can really see my pores widening. So, I've started paying much more attention to my skin lately.

My pores have always been on the slightly larger side, but in this hot weather, my face gets shiny due to sweat and oil. It feels like impurities are building up inside my pores, which really lowers my confidence. My makeup keeps melting off, so I get self-conscious every time I go out, and it's really building up stress. Even when my friends say I look fine, it’s just fascinating to me that I look different.

I am considering visiting a dermatologist for a consultation, but it is difficult to choose from the wide variety of treatments available, ranging from lasers effective for pore reduction to chemical peels and chemical peels. I am hesitating because I am cautious when thinking about potential side effects, costs, and recovery times. So, for now, I am focusing on sun protection, meticulous cleansing, and consistent hydration, while also trying to make small changes to my lifestyle habits.

I feel so relieved that there are people who understand how I felt, losing confidence and becoming sensitive due to my concerns about my pores. If there are others sharing these worries, I hope you won't be too impatient and will hold onto the hope that consistent care is the answer and that things can improve little by little. Skin doesn't become perfect overnight, just as we wish, but what matters is getting better tomorrow than today.
