Pores & Uneven Texture

Pores and uneven texture refer to irregularities on the skin’s surface that show visible pores, roughness, bumps, or an overall lack of smoothness. This condition can affect various areas of the face and sometimes other parts of the body, leading to concerns about skin aesthetics and texture.

CAUSES

Genetics and Ageing
Genetics play a significant role in determining pore size and skin texture. As we age, collagen and elastin production decrease, leading to loss of skin elasticity and firmness. This can cause pores to appear larger and skin to become less smooth.

Excessive Sebum Production
Overactive sebaceous glands can produce more oil than necessary, leading to clogged pores and acne formation. This contributes to a rough and uneven skin texture, especially in areas prone to oiliness such as the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin).

Sun Damage
UV exposure can damage collagen fibres and elastin in the skin, leading to premature ageing and uneven texture. Prolonged sun exposure can also enlarge pores and cause skin to appear rough and uneven.

Poor Skincare Habits
Using harsh skincare products, not cleansing properly, or using products not suitable for your skin type can exacerbate pore size and contribute to uneven texture. Improper exfoliation or lack thereof can lead to a buildup of dead skin cells, making the skin appear rough.

Environmental Factors
Pollution, dirt, and debris can accumulate on the skin’s surface, clogging pores and contributing to an uneven texture over time.

Hormonal Changes
Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause, can increase oil production and affect skin texture, including pore size and smoothness.
