Why do we have large pores?

What Causes Large Pores?

Large pores are caused by a variety of factors, and if you know what they are, it can be easier to decide what treatment options will be helpful to you.

 

Following are the main causes of enlarged pores:

Sun Damage

Years of sun exposure are able to make the large pores on face. Sun damage may actually thicken the skin, which causes large pores on face. Prolonged sun exposure over a long period of time may also sap the collagen, elastin and also water from the skin, which makes the tissue under the skin to shrink and thus pull at the edges of the pores, making them to sag and appear bigger.

Age Factor

With aging, the open pores tend to enlarge as the skin loses its elasticity.The age of a person is a determining factor when it comes to the pore size. As you grow much older, the skin loses its elasticity, which leads to the skin to stretch and also sag, making the pores on the face to appear larger. The skin thickens as you age, which leads to the miniscule skin cells to gather around pores, making the large pores on face.

Genetics

The genes are one of the determining factor in the pore size. People who have large pores on face have family members with the large pores. If the skin is oily, the oils can lead to the pores on the face to appear larger as the oils tend to thicken the skin. Most people inherit the thick, oily skin, which leads to the pores to be enlarged.

Excessive Oil Production

If the oil production is normal, the natural oil (sebum) clearly flows through the skin pore lining to get out of the pore and spread over the skin’s surface gradually. On the other hand if the oil glands produce too much of oil, the excess oil combines with other substances (like skin dead cells, dirt, and sweat) in the pores to create clogs. Consequently, these clogs render it tough for the oil to flow freely, thereby causing the pores to get enlarged.

An excess amount of the skin oils and also the dead skin cells is able to gather in the pores, causing pores to look larger than usual.

 

Although the pores widen to offer extra space for the oil to flow out, the oil can still be entrapped (particularly around the nose) by the dead skin cells. When this happens, the substances (oil and skin cells) at the head of the clogged pores is exposed to the air and oxidized to form blackheads.

Is it possible to shrink large pores?

Our bodies produce sebum, an oily substance we secrete to make the skin waterproof and to keep it from drying out. People who have naturally oily skin tend to have larger pores. This happens because when oil and dirt collect in your skin, your skin swells and your pores look larger than they normally would. Some people may also associate large pores with severe acne, but this isn't always the case. Even though people with oily skin tend to be prone to acne, that doesn't mean acne is a secondary factor in the appearance of large pores. One reason for the misconception may be that small divots formed by acne scarring may look like enlarged pores.

 

Since several of the factors that contribute to larger pores can't be changed, you may be wondering whether you can do anything about them. Read on to Suggested treatment how you can help create the of smooth skin.
