With age, the skin loses collagen and elastin, resulting in sagging skin with enlarged and open pores. As a result, cell renewal slows down and there is less production of new cells and shedding of dead cells. As a result, the top skin layer will thicken and become less permeable so that it starts to feel drier.
Pores are essential for the skin as they secrete sebum (natural oil) and help regulate temperature and dispose of waste products. However, when pores are enlarged, they can become cosmetically disruptive and contribute to blemishes and skin problems such as acne
Besides age, other factors also play a role: sun, smoking, stress and hormonal changes. It is the accumulation of dead cells that is responsible for open pores.
