How to reduce enlarged pores?
Pores are tiny openings on the skin’s surface through which sebum and sweat escape. As they enlarge, they become more visible and give the skin an uneven appearance.
## Main causes of enlarged pores:
* **Excess Sebum:** Oily skin **produces too much sebum**, which **enlarges pores**.
* **Pollutants and Pollutants:** Particles and toxins **clog pores**, causing them to enlarge.
* **Heat and Sun:** The sun **thickens the skin**, enlarges pores, and **stimulates sebum production**.
* **Inappropriate Cosmetics:** Some creams and foundations that are **too rich** can make the problem worse.
* **Lack of Moisturization:** Dehydrated skin **produces more sebum**, which makes pores appear larger.
