Large Pores
The skin on your face has thousands of pores; small openings that can appear very prominent and enlarged and can become particularly noticeable as you get older.
We don't know exactly what causes the pores to grow bigger but studies have shown that there are three factors that can contribute to enlarged pores; oily skin, your age and your gender.
Sebum is an oily substance produced by the body to keep the skin waterproof and stop it drying out. Those with very oily skin tend to have larger pores. As we age our skin loses its elasticity which can also cause the pores to appear more prominent. Men tend to have larger pores than women, although women can see changes in their pore size during hormonal changes.
Your pores can become clogged with debris, which can result in blackheads or acne, but even if they are clear they can be a cause for concern.
Enlarged pores are often resistent to creams and lotions, but there are a number of non-surgical treatments that can improve their appearance, such as Fractional Laser or the Spectra Peel.
