Skin Concern:
Large Pores
Enlarged pores are a common skin concern that can affect people of all ages and skin tones. They appear as tiny holes on the surface of the skin, most noticeably on the nose, cheeks, and chin. While not a serious medical condition, enlarged pores can be a cosmetic concern for many.
What Causes Large Pores?
Genetics: Some people are simply genetically predisposed to having larger pores. This is often due to thicker or oilier skin.
Aging: As we age, collagen and elastin production decreases, leading to a loss of skin elasticity. This can cause pores to sag and appear larger.
Sun Damage: Excessive sun exposure breaks down collagen and elastin, contributing to enlarged pores and other signs of aging.
Oil Production: Overactive sebaceous glands produce excess oil (sebum). This can clog pores, stretching them out and making them appear larger.
Clogged Pores: A buildup of oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria within the pores can stretch them out.
Types of Large Pores
Enlarged due to excess sebum production, common in the T-zone.
Become larger as collagen and elasticity decrease over time.
Appear bigger due to trapped oil, dead skin, and debris.
Look more pronounced when the skin lacks water, causing tightness and rough texture.
Treating Large Pores
Cleansers: Use a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser twice daily to remove excess oil and dirt. Look for cleansers containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.
Exfoliants: Regularly exfoliate with chemical exfoliants (like AHAs or BHAs) or physical exfoliants (like gentle scrubs) to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores.
Serums: Serums containing retinoids, vitamin C, or niacinamide can help improve skin texture and minimize the appearance of pores.
Moisturisers: Even oily skin needs moisture. Choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser that won't clog pores.
