Reasons for opening facial

Skin pores

The skin is the largest organ in the human body and contains millions of pores, but most of these pores are not seen by the naked eye, all pores are open to allow the skin to breathe, the pores in the body contain oily hair follicles and glands that are excreted from fatty substances, these glands are more common in the pores of the face, back, chest and thighs, and hormones in the body play an important role in stimulating the sebaceous glands to release more fat, this is why the pores appear more in the area of the breasts, cheeks and forehead. Pores may appear on all skin types, oily, dry or even mixed skin, and pores may be large and open, giving a dull appearance to the skin, especially if these pores are clogged with fat, dirt, bacteria or dead skin cells. Large pores are not a medical problem, but some see it as a cosmetic problem in teenagers and people who are exposed to acne, and may get worse if open pores become closed and turn into black or white heads.

The existence of inherited genetic factors cannot be changed. Lack of collagen production in the body as a result of aging. Damage caused by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
