What Are Enlarged Pores?

When you look closely at your skin in the mirror, you may notice small bumps or openings and holes. These are your pores, and their size is determined by the amount of oil your skin produces. Enlarged pores can be uncomfortable and embarrassing and may make you feel self-conscious about your appearance.

What Causes Enlarged Pores?

If your pores become enlarged, it can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, age, and excess sebum production. Enlarged pores can also be caused by a buildup of dead skin cells, dirt, and oil. This can lead to blackheads or whiteheads forming, further enlarging the pore and potentially causing permanent skin damage and acne scars.
