Natural ways to deal with OPEN PORES!

Unfortunately, this problem is heredity. You can’t really do anything about it. Pores cannot be opened or closed. They also cannot be made smaller. Often, when people say they wish to open their pores, what they’re referring to is a deep cleaning to remove excess oil and debris. This may make open pores look as if they’ve shrunk or closed

I did some research on this topic for you guys and I was able to outline a few things.

I’ve invested so much effort and time in this & I really hope something will work for you!💜

What exactly are open pores?

Open skin pores are small pit-like pores that appear in combination to oily skin. Pores also accumulate dirt and become clogged. Pores also accumulate dirt and become clogged. A clogged pore leads to further complications like pimples, blackheads and excess production of sebum. Pores are vital for skin hydration and removal of toxins, but enlarged pores can be a cause for concern.

What Causes Open Pores on Skin?

Several factors can contribute towards the enlargement of pores, as mentioned below:

1. Sun Exposure

Sun exposure without protection causes damage to skin collagen and reduces elasticity.

2. Genetics

A top cause for enlarged pores is heredity.

3. Age

Over time skin cells lose collagen and elastin, which stretches your skin and leads to enlarged pores.

4. Excessive Oil Secretion

Excessive secretion from the sebaceous glands creates clogged pores.

5. Hygiene

If you do not wash your face regularly, you may suffer from open pores.

6. Makeup

Using too much makeup prevents the skin from breathing and creates clogged pores. Makeup also attracts dirt and oil, which increases shine in the pores.

7. Hormonal Changes

Changes in the hormones can increase oil secretion, resulting in open pores.

8. Improper Diet

Eating fried food, often, can increase sebum production, leading to open pores.
