Best Treatment for Open Skin Pores

Want to improve your skin tone and texture?

The skin contains millions of tiny pores that serve as an escape route to perspiration (maintain skin temperature) and other bodily toxins. These pores act as openings of the oil and sweat glands through which all the dead cells, sweat, and sebum are eliminated. If the skin pores are clogged by dirt, bacteria, or excess oils, then they become extremely dilated (called enlarged open pores) and more noticeable, resulting in an uneven skin texture or tone. An open-pore can also be created due to aging and exposure to direct sunlight, wherein the skin elasticity is lost because of loss of collagen.

 

Common facial areas where most people experience enlarged open pores are the nose and cheeks. But in some, it may also appear on the chin and forehead. In the case of some men the chest, arms, and wrists can also have open pores. Larger pores can attract more pollutants, dirt, and grime, leading to skin issues like acne (whiteheads and blackheads).
