1. Oily skin is more prone to enlarged pores, but again, enlarged pores don't necessarily mean oily skin. Oily skin often experiences enlarged pores due to two main reasons.
2. Insufficient hydration: Skin dehydration causes enlarged pores, most noticeable in oily skin. Since oily skin tends to fear oiliness, people often avoid moisturizers. However, this disrupts the skin's oil-water balance, making enlarged pores more likely.
3. Improper cleansing. This refers to incorrect cleansing methods or products, or insufficient cleansing, all of which can enlarge pores. Using overly harsh cleansers may cause excessive dryness, disrupting the oil-water balance and enlarging pores. Conversely, using cleansers that are too mild may fail to effectively remove impurities, leading to clogged pores.If you smoke, don't complain about enlarged pores, dullness, or rough skin. Smoking constricts blood vessels, slowing circulation and causing skin to become dry, aged, and saggy—making enlarged pores unsurprising.
Only by avoiding these issues in your daily skincare routine can you maintain healthy, hydrated skin.
