Enlarged pores are often noticeable dilations of the skin's surface where the oil glands open up. They can be a cosmetic concern for many, affecting the skin's overall appearance by making it look uneven and aged. These pores can appear more prominent due to various factors including skin type and age.

Types of Enlarged Pores

Oily Skin-Induced Enlarged Pores

People with oily skin often have larger pores because of increased sebum production.

Age-Related Enlarged Pores

As the skin ages, it loses elasticity, causing pores to dilate

Sun-Damaged Enlarged Pores

Prolonged sun exposure can thicken the skin and shrink collagen, leading to wider pores.

Factors Contributing to Enlarged Pores

Ageing

The natural ageing process reduces skin elasticity and firmness, enlarging the pores.

Genetics

Genetic factors can predetermine the size and visibility of your pores.

Sun Exposure

UV radiation can exacerbate the widening of pores by damaging the skin’s supportive structures

Lifestyle Factors

Smoking and poor diet can impair skin health and contribute to the visibility of pores.

Excessive Sebum

High levels of oil production can stretch the pore openings.

Effective Strategies to Address Enlarged Pores
