Open Pores

Our skin has a large number of pores, they function as openings of oil gland.  Small Pores are common in all types of skin.  If our pores are excessively dilated then they are called as “Open pores”. They appear as small pits, giving your skin a dimpled appearance.  Open pores are concentrated mainly on your nose and adjacent cheek. People who have very oily and thick skin may notice them on outer part of cheeks and forehead as well.

In acne prone, oily skin bearing individuals these pores are more pronounced because, the oil secreting sebaceous glands are very active and the oil secreted comes out through the hair pores. Thus give rough and pitted appearance to the skin.
