We want our skin to always look smooth and healthy. However, in some areas of our skin, especially more dense around the cheeks and nose, the pores which are seen on the face are very disturbing.

There are many factors that cause large pores, but three main reasons are; age, genetic factors and excessively secreted sweat and fat residue because of various reasons such as overweight.

Pores are openings that allow the skin to breathe from the outside and allow the extraction of sweat and fat waste under the skin. These openings can become congested due to excessive secretion of sweat and fat waste and the covering of the skin surface with a large number of dead cells.

However, there are environmental reasons for pore congestion. Pores are exposed to polluted air every day and can be blocked by factors such as dust, hair, and particles.

When the pores are filled, the skin becomes contaminated and spots with large openings appear on the skin. These pores with large openings are filled with sweat, fat and dust, leading to blackhead.

Having blackhead is an unfavorable situation. In addition, large pores cause an unhealthy and uncared skin appearance. Due to the higher rate of sweating in men, the pores have a much larger opening.

Although women have smaller pore openings compared to men, it is very important to have tight pores for a healthy-looking skin in both men and women. It is necessary to pay attention to skin cleaning and skin care in order to prevent this unpleasant situation and tighten these pores.

For this reason, skin scar and skin cleaning should be done carefully before the pores on the skin are enlarged. Skin care techniques and treatment which are regularly applied cleanse the skin from waste cells and dust, quickly affecting the tightening of skin pores.

As a result of the regularly applied pore tightening treatment, tightened pores contribute to breathing of the skin, resulting in a more vivid, healthy and bright appearance.

However, it should not be forgotten that skin cleansing is of great importance here. Skin cleansing prevents the enlargement and filling of the pores, so the skin should be cleaned before and after the pore tightening treatment.
