Enlarged Pores
Skin pores are empty funnel-shaped structures present in all skins. These spaces can become impacted with keratinized materials – most typically dead skin cell material. This is very common on facial skin and especially around the nose, cheeks and chin areas.
Many factors may cause enlarged pores including gender, genetic predisposition, aging, chronic ultra violet light exposure (sun damage), pollutants, acne, and some forms of dermatitis.
Increased pore size is most significantly associated with increased sebum output level, then gender (it is more common in men) and age. Pore size in women is significantly increased during the ovulation phase.
Other factors that can cause enlarged pores include the use of cosmetics that leave the pores clogged – a factor that underlines the need to cleanse thoroughly every day. Makeup attracts oils and external pollutants and prevents the skin shedding dead cells: this can lead to impacted pores.

- Apply a Kaolin Face Mask perhaps once a week and for use on spots daily.
