When it comes to various skincare concerns based on different skin types, the one most common problem is open pores for oily skin. The larger pores in the skin leads to excess sebum production, dust/dirt pollution, and even to the accumulation of dead skin cells. Some other concerns which lead to these products are also acne, blackheads, and whiteheads. 

In this blog, you will know what can be the right skincare routine for oily skin, how to prevent the common concerns of people dealing with issues like open pores, and how to achieve healthy and glowing skin

Causes of Open Pores

When it comes to tiny pores in the skin, which are called “open pores” are the ones that allow sweat and sebum to reach the surface. The size goes bigger because of the following reasons:

• Excess Oil Secretion: Oily skin generally has larger pores because of the sebaceous glands which produce more oil.

• UV Rays Damages - Due to exposure to sun, the UV rays damage the skin barrier and cause enlarged pores.

• Clogged Skin - Due to the add–up particles to the skin like dirt, makeup, and dead skin cells, they may clog pores.

• Aged skin - The skin loses its natural collagen after a certain time period, which leads to enlarged pores.

Why Oily Skin is More Prone to Open Pores

People with oily and acne-prone skin have too many active sebaceous glands that are leading to production of sebum in the skin. When these oils get combined to other impurities, product build-ups, and dead skin cells, they tend to clog the pores leading to stretch skin which is also more visible.

Effective Ingredients for Minimizing Open Pores

When you are dealing with open pores, here are some of the key ingredients which helps in minimising the open pores.

• Salicylic Acid: BHA, which enters into the pores and exfoliates by removing the dead skin cells.

• Niacinamide: A Vitamin B3 that regulates oil products and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores.

• Retinol: Vitamin A derivative that prevents clogged pores and gives smoother skin.

• Clay: Ingredients like kaolin, french green, multani mitti, and bentonite clay, that absorbs excess oil and minimizes pore appearance.

• Tea Tree Oil: Known for its antimicrobial properties which helps in reducing inflammation and preventing acne breakouts because of pores presence.

Recommended Skincare Routine for Oily Skin with Open Pores

1. Face Wash - Going with water based or gel-based face wash with ingredients like charcoal or clay helps.

2. Toner - An optional part in skincare but helps in balancing skin’s PH and tightens pores. Tea tree toner or niacinamide toner helps.

3. Serum -  Using niacinamide serum or retinol serum is a perfect choice since they promote cell turnover and regulate oil production.

4. Moisturizer - Choose light-weight, watery or gel-based, non-comedogenic moisturizer. They hydrate while not making the skin greasy.

5. Sunscreen: Go with SPF 50 sunscreen since they helps in protecting your skin from UVA and UVB rays.
