Reasons For Large Pores 

Oily Skin

Our bodies produce sebum, an oily substance we secrete to make the skin waterproof and to keep it from drying out. People who naturally have oily skin tend to have larger pores. This happens because when oil and dirt collect in your skin, your skin swells and your pores look larger than they normally would. Some people may also associate large pores with severe acne, but this isn't always the case. One reason for the misconception may be that small divots formed by acne scarring may look like enlarged pores.

Age

As you get older your skin loses its elasticity, which can cause pores to look bigger. Furthermore, sun has an accumulative effect. Meaning, the older you are, the more you've been exposed to the sun. This affects the appearance of pores. It makes your skin thicken, causing skin cells to collect around the edges of your pores, which stretch them out.

Sex

In general, males tend to have larger pores than females. Women might experience enlarged pores more often during hormonal changes, particularly during menstruation.

Genetics

If one or both of your parents have large pores, you might also have or eventually experience a similar condition.

Many of the factors which contribute to large pores are unpreventable. So, generally the best thing to do is disguise it.

Treatments for Large Pores

Large pores cannot actually shrink. That doesn't mean, there is nothing you can do. The appearance of pores can be temporarily reduced.

Keep Your Face Clean

Use a gentle cleanser twice a day, especially after you perspire to prevent oil from building up. Don't scrub too much. Over-dry skin compensates by producing even more sebum. Similarly, be sure not to scrub your skin with a washcloth or other abrasive materials. Using an exfoliating cleanser once a week will help, because it breaks down dead skin cells that clog pores and gives your skin a smoother appearance. Pore-minimising creams contain ingredients that boost the skin's production of glycoaminoglycans, which help to firm the skin around pores, minimising their appearance.

Retinol Creams

Applying a topical retinoid solution will only reduce the appearance of large pores. But you can also dissolve bacteria that cause acne and treat sun damage at the same time. You should always use sunscreen to protect your skin and keep large pores from becoming worse.
