Open Pores
Pores are openings to the hair follicle. Oily or ageing skin is more susceptible to enlarged pores as follicles are prone to being congested with dead keratinized skin cells, sebum, and debris. If left untreated, this can lead to blackheads, whiteheads, and acne.
The solution to minimizing or shrinking the pore size is to stimulate collagen & elastin production and to resurface the skin gently with an exfoliating or resurfacing treatment.
Characteristics
Open pores look like small pits in the skin, giving your skin a dimpled appearance or uneven, dull, and aged look to your face.
Pores are an important structure to our skin providing small openings at the top of our hair follicles that cover the entire body. Our pores release sebum, our body's natural oil, to naturally moisturise our skin to help keep it supple. Although large pores can be frustrating, pores are necessary for maintaining healthy skin.
Here's what you can do to dramatically reduce open pores on your face;
