Open Pore Reduction Treatment

Skin pores are not invisible and everyone has them. The question is how best to minimize pore’s appearance. Reasons for enlarged pores are varied. Genetics may certainly be to blame. Barely visible on those with dry skin, individuals with oily, thicker (glabrous) skin tend to have larger looking, more noticeable pores.



Sun damage is another cause. As we age, one of the ways sun damage affects the skin is through the enlargement of the pores. Sun damage and aging cause the epidermis to thicken and a rim of cells are more likely to collect around individual pores. While microscopic, these rings exaggerate pore diameter. Pores may be more visible simply due to lack of good skin grooming and poor exfoliation. Too much surface oil and remnant naturally shed skin cells can collect around the edges of pores, creating the illusion of the pores being larger than they really are.
