Open Pores

What are Open pores?

Open pores refer to the large pores on the skin, or sometimes also known as certain types of acne. They are visible around the nose and cheeks on the face. Large pores are easily noticeable and visible to the naked eye. Though they can easily be covered temporarily with the help of makeup, there are many treatments available to get rid of them permanently as well.

Why do pores increase in size?

1. Oily and unclean skin can be the cause for large pores since excess oil sits around the skin’s open pores and make them appear enlarged as the skin around them thickens. Sun damage and aging can also be the reason.

2. Makeup can help you to hide skin imperfections but ironically, makeup actually cause pores to appear enlarged especially when it’s not properly cleaned and washed off. Sometimes it settles in and around the pores and highlights them instead of hiding.

3. Blackheads are the undesirable results of large pores that are caused by dirt settling into them and giving it a dark color making it clearly visible on the skin.

4. With the growing age, our skin’s structures also change, so losing elasticity and decreasing the production of collagen make the pores look more visible and noticeable.
