Open/Enlarged Pores

Open, or enlarged pores can affect anyone, and the size of your pores is often down to your genetics.

Younger people with oily skin are more vulnerable to developing enlarged pores, shrinking as they get older. However, in some cases, it is the ageing process that is the cause. The pores are a natural part of the skin’s structure, playing an essential role in your skin’s health.

Your skin produces a Sebum substance, which acts as a lubricant, helping to keep your skin moist. People who have an oily complexion will find that their pores are more noticeable and are more likely to fit the category of people who seek treatment for this condition.

This condition, often affecting areas around the nose and cheeks, can leave the complexion looking flawed and unbalanced. For some people, this concern can lead to the development of other complaints, such as acne and blackheads, as the pores may have become congested and as a result, it may end up to infection.

The presence of noticeably open pores can result in the affected person feeling self-conscious with their appearance, as they can view this condition as an unattractive feature. Available treatments help effectively reduce the appearance of open pores, resurface the skin, giving a refreshed look to your complexion.

Making the pores less visible can restore a person’s confidence in their appearance and boost their self-esteem.
