Open / Enlarged Pores

Pores are tiny openings in the skin that allow sweat, oil, and other substances to reach the surface. Each pore is connected to an oil gland, which produces sebum that helps keep the skin moisturized and protected. While pores are essential for regulating body temperature and maintaining skin health, they can sometimes become enlarged, leading to uneven skin texture. 

​

Enlarged pores are most commonly caused by excess oil production, which can clog pores and cause them to stretch, making them appear larger. Factors such as genetics, aging, and sun damage also contribute, as they affect skin elasticity and collagen. Additionally, clogged pores from dead skin cells, dirt, and makeup, as well as hormonal fluctuations, can further increase pore size. These combined factors lead to the enlargement of pores over time.

Treating enlarged pores typically involves reducing excess oil, preventing blockages, and promoting healthy skin regeneration. At The Lush Clinic, we offer a range of treatments to address your concerns about enlarged pores.
