Why do I have blackheads and enlarged pores?
Blackheads, or scientifically "comedones", are mainly found on the T-zone (forehead, nose). They result from an accumulation of sebum and dead skin that clogs the pores. Although oily skin is more prone to these problems, combination or dry skin can also be affected.
Enlarged pores, often accompanied by blackheads, are the result of sebum and dead skin building up, causing the pores to become excessively enlarged.
Causes of Blackheads and Enlarged Pores
- Makeup that clogs pores and breeds bacteria
- The environment (air pollution, dust)
- Stress
- Hormones
- Tobacco and alcohol
- Too rich a diet
- Prolonged exposure to the sun
