Open Pores

About Open Pores

Pores are tiny openings of the oil glands which, when enlarged, can look unattractive and unhealthy. Pores or duct openings play a significant role in keeping the skin hydrated and in removing the toxins by releasing the sebum or natural oil onto the surface from deeper layers. But enlarged pores could accumulate dirt and get clogged, leading to further complications like blackheads, pimples and excess sebum production. It can make the skin look coarse and dull.

What are the factors that enlarge the pores?

Enlargement of open pores could happen due to various factors. While extra sebum (oil) production is the most general reason, hormonal changes, thick hair follicles, Nutritional Deficiency and heredity factors are concerning factors too. Overexposure to sun and ageing could dry the skin and make it open up. Reduction of collagen production loosens the skin and cause the pores to widen. Hence, most treatments aim to naturally induce collagen production to reduce the pores and restore skin texture.
