HOW TO REDUCE OPEN PORES?





Open pores are the dilated opening of oil glands concentrated mainly on T-zone and surrounding cheeks. They occur because of unchecked oil secretions at the younger age and get worse when your skin gets lax in old age. sometimes the oil-releasing facial pores become enlarged, this makes your skin look dull and mature. While you cannot get rid of large facial pores completely, there are ways to reduce their appearance and prevent them from enlarging further. 

The cause of facial pores are many, some of them are listed below.

1. Genetics

Your genes are the most important factor that affects your pore size. If you have large pores, check the skin of your parents, siblings and first cousins. It is most likely that they have a similar skin problem.

2. Oily skin

When you have oily skin, your pores are naturally wide open to pour out large amounts of oil. Such pores will shrink in size when the oiliness of the skin is reduced.

3. Ageing

As you grow older, your skin loses collagen and elastin. These natural proteins surround your pores and play an important role in keeping them tight. Once they start getting depleted, the facial pores start to enlarge.  

4. Sun damage

Excessive sun exposure can make facial pores appear bigger. Sun damage thickens the skin, which leads to bigger pores. Years of sun exposure can also reduce collagen, elastin and water from your skin. Dehydrated skin pulls the edges of your pores, making them look larger.

5. Blackheads

Blackheads are the result of pores blocked with dead cells and sebum. Persistent blackheads can lead to large facial pores. Not only do blackheads make your pores look larger by attracting attention to them, but also increase pore size by permanent scarring.

6. Clogged pores

Excessive amounts of oil and dead skin cells trapped in your pores can cause them to appear enlarged. In this case, exfoliation and regular washing will keep your pores from appearing larger than they are. By preventing blocked pores, you will also get rid of blackheads.

7. Comedogenic products

Products that contain natural and mineral oils can clog pores and cause blackheads. They may also add to the existing oiliness of your skin and increase pore size.
