Pores

WHAT CAUSES LARGE PORES?

Pores are small openings in the skin that release oils and sweat. If your pores appear larger, it may be because of acne, increased sebum production, which causes oily skin. It may not be possible to get rid of large pores, but there are ways to make them look smaller, including keeping the skin supple and stopping the pores from becoming clogged.

Reasons of having large pores may be due to:

Genetics

Your genes are the greatest determining factor in your pore size.

Age

As you grow older, skin loses its elasticity, which causes your skin to stretch and sag, making pores appear larger.

Sun damage

Years of sun exposure can make pores appear larger. Prolonged sun exposure can also remove collagen, elastin and water from your skin, which causes the tissue beneath your skin to shrink and pull at the edges of your pores, making them sag and look bigger
