ENLARGED PORES

What is skin texture?

Skin texture refers to the condition of the skin surface.
Good skin texture is soft and smooth, well hydrated with strong collagen and elastin support.
Uneven skin texture is rough and dry.
Uneven skin texture not only affects the way the skin feels, but also makes the skin look pale.
It also makes it difficult to apply cosmetics evenly.

What causes rough skin texture?

The skin is supposed to be soft with a smooth and even texture, but it is not uncommon for the skin to feel rough to the touch.
Sometimes this is the result of specific skin problems such as acne, or the result of using the wrong skincare products and not removing dead skin cells properly or sufficiently.

Sun damage also contributes to uneven skin texture.
Exposure to the sun causes the breakdown of collagen and elastin, which give skin its smooth texture and elasticity.

Ageing is another common cause of irregular skin texture.
As we age, the surface skin cells are not removed as quickly, leading to a build-up of dead skin cells and creating rough, pale-looking skin.

Dry skin that lacks moisture also makes delicate skin feel less smooth to the touch.

What causes enlarged pores?

One of the factors that cause uneven skin texture is enlarged pores.
They usually occur on oily skin when sebum and impurities accumulate in the pores, causing them to stretch and make the pores appear larger.
In addition to genetics, ageing is another factor, as the skin loses its elasticity, which can cause the pores to appear larger.

We certainly can’t stop the ageing process or change your genetics, but we can help you create a personalised treatment to reduce pore size.
Depending on the severity of the problem, we have different treatments available, and depending on the condition of the pores, most often a combination of treatments is needed.
