Pores are tiny openings in your skin that release oil and sweat from your glands and allow the skin to breathe. They are connected to hair follicles and serve as the pathways for natural oils (sebum) to reach the skin’s surface. While pores play a major role in healthy skin their enlarged appearance due to various causes can lead to clogged pores which in turn result in acne, breakouts and blackheads.
The specific skin issue can also increase other problems such as acne and blackheads for people who have oily skin. While pores cannot be completely closed, they can be minimized to reduce their appearance to get glass skin look. We should understand the root cause of enlarged pores before diving into Face pore treatment.
Causes of Large Pores
The major causes that lead to enlarged pores include:
- Sun Exposure: Being in the sun for most of the day weakens the skin's collagen, decreasing its suppleness and causing pores to enlarge.
- Aging: With time the skin starts to lose its natural elasticity, making the skin less firm and giving the appearance of bigger pores.
- Genetics: Your pore size and skin type may be genetic characteristics.
- Excessive Oil Production: Increased sebum production and other pollutants block pores especially in oily skin, making them appear larger.
