Pores are the tiny dots on the surface of your skin, which are the openings of hair follicles. Pores serve a purpose, as they are the gateway for our skin’s natural oil to reach the surface. Sometimes our pores may seem to be a nuisance and may appear unsightly especially for those who have oily skin. But what really causes our pores to appear enlarged?
Pore size is largely determined by genetics, lifestyle, and age. For example, poor hygiene such as sleeping with your make-up on, can lead to clogged pores, thereby making them appear larger.
