Open Pores and How You Can Actually Manage Them

We all want smooth even skin but those tiny little holes called open pores love to make their presence known. Especially when the lighting is not on our side or the phone camera decides to zoom in

What are open pores?

Pores are natural openings on the surface of your skin. They allow your skin to breathe and release oil and sweat. So technically pores are not the enemy. But when they appear large or clogged they start affecting the texture of your skin. Open pores are usually seen on the cheeks, nose and forehead. They give a bumpy or uneven look and can often collect dirt oil or makeup

Why do pores become large

There is no one reason. Most of the time it is a mix of genetics, skin type and lifestyle. 

Excess oil production- If your skin is oily your pores tend to expand more to release that oil. That is why people with oily skin often complain of larger pores

Age and collagen loss- As you grow older your skin loses elasticity. This causes the pores to stretch and stay open

Sun exposure- Too much time in the sun damages the collagen in your skin making pores look larger over time

Improper skincare- Not cleansing properly or using harsh products can clog and irritate the pores making them more noticeable

Genetics- Some people just naturally have larger pores. It runs in the family and that is okay

What not to do!

Let us clear this up. You cannot shrink your pores permanently. There is no magic mask or cream that will make them disappear forever. But you can absolutely reduce their appearance and prevent them from getting worse

So stop over scrubbing

Stop trying DIY lemon and toothpaste things and stop switching products every week hoping for a miracle

Your skin does not need drama. It needs balance.
