Enlarged Pores

All of us have pores in our skin. Pores are small openings in the skin that operate by releasing oils and sweat.

As everyone’s skin is different, our pores can vary in size and shape. However, if your pores seem to be larger than most, there can be reasons for this, such as: acne and spots, increased sebum production (which causes oily skin), exposure to the sun, and therefore sun damage, using makeup products that clog your pores.

Enlarged pores occur when your glands produce an excessive amount of sebum which mixes with the dead skin cells in your pores. When this happens pores can become blocked and subsequently, enlarged and more visible.
