Enlarged pores result from the gradual buildup of oil and dead skin cells beneath your skin’s surface. Those with naturally oily skin are more likely to have larger pores. Age is another culprit – the natural shedding process that helps to clear dead skin cells slows down as we age, causing build up of dead skin cells and pores to enlarge. Moreover, as age advances, we lose the elasticity in our skin due to decreased levels of collagen and elastin production and this dilates the opening of pores, causing pores to appear larger.At Dr Jasmine clinic, we provide a range of treatments to help address the issue of enlarged pores. It is also vital that patients adopt a good daily cleansing routine including using a cleanser that contains lactic or salicylic acid, to prevent the buildup of oil and dead skin cells on your skin’s surface.
