Enlarged pores can be seen at all ages and in all ethnic groups. Factors that may lead to enlarged pores include:

• Increased sebum production

• Hair follicle size

• Use of comedogenic products

• Loss of skin elasticity with age and sun damage

Acne is associated with enlarged pores — when sometimes open blackheads can be seen within a pore. Inflammatory acne may cause enlarged pores through weakening sebaceous gland and hair follicle openings, making them more prone to blockage.

Enlarged pores aren’t harmful but they have a significant effect on the overall aesthetics of our skin. Reducing the size of pores can improve the voluminous appearance of your skin, resulting in a youthful skin.

At Minty Pearls, we have a wide range of treatments that can help reduce the size of your pores to promote a radiant, healthy glow.
