Having open pores is quite a common skin-related problem, and ignoring it makes your face look dull and aged. Most people who suffer from open pores usually have oily skin.
Clogged pores consist of a combination of sebum produced by sebaceous glands and dead skin cells that get stuck in the hair follicles beneath. This creates “plugs” that can harden and enlarge the follicle walls. This can make the pores more noticeable, according to Healthline.
Open pores can cause many skin issues such as acne, whiteheads, blackheads, and more. This happens due to multiple factors like stress, not following a proper skincare regime, and unhealthy eating habits, which can further lead to open pores.
