Enlarged Pores

A pore is an opening on the skin that secretes sebaceous oil to lubricate and protect the surface of the skin. Keep your face clean and resist the urge to pick at blemishes this will prevent pores from becoming irritated, inflamed, and more noticeable.

Enlarged pores is usually results in a skin due to the over activity of the sebaceous glands.  Enlarged pores on the face can also be the result of hereditary factors. If your mum and dad had them, you may too. Oil is secreted by the glands through the pores, causing the pore to be clogged with dead skin cells and oil, when the oil hardens the pore enlarges. This normally occurs during puberty, when oil glands begin to increase the amount of oil that they pump through your pores.

The pore is stretched and loses their natural resilience. Excessive secretion of oil and clogging of the pore, over a period will thicken them and make them enlarged. The skin begins to look coarse have an orange peel effect and loose its smooth, porcelain quality.

If you have an oily skin, it is important to keep the enlarged pore free of sebum.  Wash the skin with a quality cleanser to reduce the surface oil. Use a good quality skin toner daily to remove oil from the skin and to close pores also you should exfoliate skin at this 2-3 times a week to remove dead skin cells. Regular cleansing and use of correct products that reduces surface grease can help to refine the enlarged pore. This will result in a smooth clean textured skin.

Use skin care products that will increase levels of collagen and elastin production such as vitamin C this will help prevent the pores from stretching any further. In addition, the use of products with alpha hydroxy acids salicylic acids will exfoliate your skin.

Microdermabrasion, Facial peels and Intense Pulse Light Treatments performed at Beauty Clinics will provide benefits to help reduce the size of enlarged pores.
