  Large pores are related to abnormal keratin metabolism, and the most common causes are excessive oil, aging and skin care products clogging.

  (2) Natural aging: the aging and shrinking of skin tissues can cause pores to become enlarged. At a certain age skin collagen begins to loosen and is insufficient to support the surrounding pores, making them appear oval and enlarged. Therefore, enlarged pores are usually most easily seen near some dynamic lines such as crow’s feet, corners of the mouth, and decree lines.
