Causes of enlarged pores

1. The pores are clogged, which causes the pores to expand, and the epidermal basal layer of the skin continuously creates cells and transports them to the upper layer.

As the age increases, blood circulation gradually becomes unsmooth, and the fatty layer of the subcutaneous tissue of the skin is therefore easy to relax and lack elasticity. If proper maintenance and care are not given, the aging will be accelerated. Naturally, pores are also enlarged.

3. Smoking is also one of the causes of enlarged pores. Cigarettes can shrink blood vessels, slow blood circulation, and nutrients can't be delivered to skin cells smoothly, so report early if your skin is dry and aging, and your face lines will naturally sag and pores will expand.

Once the dermis is injured, and the skin lacks regeneration function, it will be difficult to generate new cells, leaving bumps and scars, making the pores enlarged.
