ENLARGED PORES & OILY SKIN

Open pores are a common skin condition that can occur when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dirt, and dead skin cells. Pores can be caused by skin oil, elasticity, hair thickness, aging, sun damage, and genetics. Hormones trigger the sebaceous glands, causing them to secrete more oil, which can make pores larger on the nose, forehead, and cheeks. Any skin type, whether it’s oily, normal, or dry, can take on the appearance of having large, open pores. These may give your skin a dull appearance, particularly if they’re clogged with dirt, bacteria, oil, or dead skin cells.

It is interesting to note that as we age, the elasticity and collagen depletion in our skin can cause enlarged pores to become more visible. As a result, pores are often a target of treatment in anti-aging or skin rejuvenation programs..

Oily skin occurs when the sebaceous glands in the skin produce too much oil. This can lead to clogged pores, blackheads, and whiteheads. Oily skin can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal changes, stress, and certain medications
