The result is a skin that is not thin and becomes dirty and infected much more easily. This favors in some cases, not always, the appearance of acne.The age is also a factor to be taken into account when pores have a more than normal. The skin loses elasticity and also no longer regenerates so easily what gives rise to larger pores. In addition, the skin becomes thicker and, therefore, the pores do not close so easily.

Also, they appear during menopause. By decreasing estrogens and increasing testosterone, more fat and, therefore, more enlarged pores are secreted.
