Enlarged pores
What are enlarged pores?
Enlarged pores are depressions in the skin surface of the face that contain one or more openings to the ducts that carry sweat and oil from their respective glands, e.g. the sebaceous glands that keep the skin moist.
What are clogged pores?
Clogged pores are the same pores, but in this case they are clogged like a plug. When this sebum comes into contact with oxygen it will turn dark. This is why blackheads are often called blackheads.
Why is it most often on the nose?
The pores on and around the nose are called nostrils. Nostrils are the openings for the hair follicles, just like on the rest of your skin, they are actually called follicles. Attached to these follicles are sebaceous glands. These glands produce a natural oil called sebum that keeps your skin moisturized.
While pores are a necessity for your skin's health, they can come in different sizes. Nasal pores are naturally larger than those located on other parts of your skin. This is because the sebaceous glands below them are also larger.
Why do you get enlarged pores?
Firstly, there is genetics. So if your parents have large pores on their noses, you might have or get it too. It's just like with eye color and the like.
But there are also other reasons:
Sunlight without applied SPF
Lack of Peeling
Acne
Heat
Hormonal fluctuations
Stress
Bad skin habits
Greasy skin
Dry skin
Are enlarged pores and blackheads the same thing?
Blackheads and enlarged pores do not have to be related and do not have to happen at the same time. You can easily have blackheads without having enlarged pores. So no, blackheads and enlarged pores are not the same thing, and other times they are actually the same thing. Because you can easily have an overproduction of sebum that both causes blackheads and enlarged pores. Confused, yes I understand.
Are large pores and dry skin related?
If you have dry skin, the skin can contract so that the pores become larger than they should be. So the optimum would be a skin that is just in balance.
Are large pores and oily skin related?
If you have oily skin, the pores may be pushed outward by the increased production of sebum. So the optimum would be a skin that is just in balance.
How to reduce pores?
There is nothing you can do about the genetically enlarged pores, it is your genetic makeup that has determined it. Of course, we can try to turn back the time to when they weren't so big, then you have to read my guide called anti aging.
However, it also seems that B3 for unfathomable reasons shrinks the pores, we cannot yet explain why, but more experiments make us investigate further. You will find niacinamide (B3) in both my face creams and especially in my Means
And finally, remember that sunlight is one of the major causes of enlarged pores and, not least, signs of ageing. 97% of Danes do not use any sun protection in their day cream. Therefore, many Danes have enlarged pores and look older than they should.
Can you use laser for enlarged pores?
Yes, you can easily use laser against your enlarged pores. The treatment is the same as for wrinkle reduction, as you try to get the skin's age back to when you didn't have enlarged pores. The clinics I know that do the treatment most effectively and at the same time beautifully are unfortunately very expensive. And when it comes to laser clinics, you have to be picky. Cheap is not always good.
Can I use foundation/makeup on large pores?
You are welcome to cover your enlarged pores, it is just important that you remember to clean the skin morning and evening, preferably with my Cleansing Mask, so that we also get rid of excess sebum and, not least, get lots of minerals added. Good routine is very important.
I have visible pores on my legs - what do I do?
Enlarged pores on the legs can easily occur. However, it is quite often that it can be removed if you use a good body lotion every day and at least after every bath.
I have large pores on my cheeks - what do I do?
The pores on the nose can easily extend beyond the cheeks. The treatment is not much different than on the nose.
Is this something I absolutely must not do if I have enlarged pores?
The worst thing you can do is let it stand. If you want them gone, you might as well start now, because it won't get any easier with time. Day cream with SPF30 and remember to cleanse both morning and evening.

We are all different and if your enlarged pores are due to your genes, then the process is very slow - we are talking many months. If they are caused by dry skin, you will often see improvements within a week. The pores of an oily skin are often also clogged, so you should probably expect a few months there.
