Pores are the small openings on the skin that allow sweat, oils, and other mini particles to pass through. Everyone has pores and they cover your body from head to toe. Sometimes and in some areas, pores are small and often not visible unless you are at a very close distance. However, sometimes the pores can appear larger. This happens most often on the face, especially in areas where the pores produce and release a lot of sebum, a natural oil.
The cause of large pores may vary for patients. Generally, pore size is determined by genetics, but they can fluctuate over time due to different factors. Loss of elasticity can also cause the skin to sag and stretch out the pores to become larger. Even bacteria, dead skin cells, and oil buildup can develop within the pores, pushing them to expand from the inside out.
Certain skin conditions can also cause your pores to appear enlarged and more noticeable. Issues such as:
While some people just have naturally large or small pores, others find they can use different methods to try and maintain their skin and reduce any visible blemishes. One of the best and most widely recommended approaches for preventing pores from widening, especially for those with acne-prone or oily skin, is to invest in a high maintenance skincare routine. Regularly using clinically proven ingredients and techniques like exfoliation can help to keep skin clear and healthier by removing dead skin and sebum that can build up and stretch out the pores.
Medical-grade products and chemical exfoliants, such as salicylic acid, glycolic acid cleanser, beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), or alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) exfoliating skin-care products are all great options to use as needed. Moisturizing is a vital part of any skincare routine and may help balance the skin’s oil production, preventing shine and buildup.
If large pores are a persistent problem that is not responding to skincare or medical-grade products, cosmetic treatments may offer an effective alternative. Pryor Health offers skin resurfacing procedures and non-surgical treatments that can address this concern.
