What are pores?
Pores are tiny openings on the skin's surface that release sweat and sebum (oil) from the sweat and sebaceous glands. Important to note: a pore is not a muscle and therefore cannot "open" or "close," as is sometimes believed.
What causes pores to look larger?
The baseline size of your pores is largely determined by genetics. However, pores can appear larger or more prominent later in life. This is primarily caused by two factors:
- 1. Clogging from sebum and dead skin cells: when a pore fills with sebum and dead skin cells, a whitehead forms. If this sebum comes into contact with the air, it oxidizes and turns dark brown or black (a blackhead). If the blockage becomes inflamed, it results in a pimple.
- 2. Loss of elasticity: as the skin ages and collagen levels decrease, the skin loses its firmness and resilience. As a result, pores tend to sag, making them look larger and more elongated.
How can you reduce their appearance?
To effectively refine pores, tackle the two main root causes (clogging and skin sagging) directly in your routine:
Approach 1: Keep pores clean and clear
- Cleanse consistently: wash your face faithfully every morning and evening.
- Do a double cleanse: start your evening cleanse with a gentle oil-based cleanser to thoroughly dissolve excess sebum, stubborn makeup, and sunscreen.
- Never sleep with makeup on: give your pores the breathing room they need overnight.
- Exfoliate regularly: use chemical exfoliants (such as BHA) to remove dead skin cells and clear sebum deep out of the pores.
- Avoid overly heavy cosmetics: watch out for comedogenic oils and rich creams that can directly clog your pores.
- Balance sebum production: opt for hydrating and sebum-regulating ingredients to combat shine and prevent congestion.
Approach 2: Protect and strengthen skin elasticity
- Hydrate daily: use a moisturizer suited to your skin type morning and evening to keep the moisture barrier supple.
- Always wear SPF: UV rays break down collagen and elastin, making pores look larger. Protect your skin every morning (even in winter) with at least SPF 30.
- Nourish the skin inside and out: ensure adequate hydration and antioxidants to keep the skin structure firm.

Skin improvement takes patience! It is important to maintain a new skincare routine consistently for at least 1 month; after all, your skin needs an average of 28 days to renew its cells. Do you already notice a subtle difference after a month? Then be sure to keep going for another 2 to 3 months for the absolute best result.
