What are large pores? 

Pores are the tiny holes in a person’s skin. They are hair follicle openings that serve as an escape route for sweat and other body toxins. Large pores are more visible and tend to be found on oily or aging skin. Enlarged pores often get clogged with debris and oils, like sebum, that should flow out of pores. If you have larger pores, you are more prone to acne and breakouts. 

Why do I have enlarged pores?

Most often, genetics are to blame, though unclean and oily skin can also cause oils to settle around the pores, making them appear larger as the skin around them thickens. Your skin will also thicken as a result of sun damage and aging, as both cause cell build-up around pore openings. Though sometimes used to hide enlarged pores, makeup can make your pores appear larger, especially if it’s not properly washed off.
