Enlarged pores refer to visible, larger-than-normal openings on the skin’s surface, often more noticeable on the face.
Factors like genetics, excess oil production, and ageing contribute to enlarged pores. When oil and debris accumulate in the pores, they may stretch and appear larger. Sun damage and decreased skin elasticity with age can exacerbate the issue.
While it’s challenging to permanently reduce pore size, consistent skincare routines with exfoliation, retinoids, and pore-minimising products can help manage and improve the appearance of enlarged pores.
