Excessive sebum production is the primary cause of enlarged pores, often resulting in oily skin. Aging leads to a loss of skin elasticity, making pores appear larger and the skin look stretched. This is due to reduced collagen production, a natural part of the aging process. Factors like humid climates and increased sun exposure can further deplete collagen, leading to wrinkles and larger pores.

Using non-comedogenic, oil-free products and being gentle when cleansing your face can help.Incorporating mild retinol products into your nightly skincare routine and using broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day are also beneficial. Regular medical facials can contribute to noticeable improvements over time

"Orange peel skin" is not a formal dermatological term but rather an informal description of skin with a slightly dimpled or textured appearance. This texture is characterized by enlarged pores, which can result from various factors including inflammatory skin conditions, excess oil buildup, thicker skin, severe acne, sun damage, and the natural loss of skin elasticity that occurs with aging. The aging process leads to larger pores due to decreased collagen and elastin in the skin, and sun damage further accelerates collagen degradation, highlighting the appearance of pores.

To address this concern, it's advisable to gently exfoliate using chemical exfoliants on a regular basis and always protect the skin with broad-spectrum sunscreen. Maintaining optimal skin hydration helps soothe and plump the skin. Additionally, regular medical facials can expedite cell renewal and promote the development of collagen and elastin fibers deep within the skin, reducing surface irregularities and the appearance of bumps.
