Uneven Skin Texture & Enlarged Pores
What Are Uneven Skin Texture and Enlarged Pores?
Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores are common skin concerns that affect overall skin smoothness and clarity. They can make the skin appear rough, dull, or aged and often interfere with flawless makeup application. While closely related, these concerns can occur independently or together.
Common Areas Affected
Nose and cheeks
Forehead
Chin
Areas prone to acne or oiliness
What Causes Uneven Skin Texture?
Uneven texture develops when the skin’s surface becomes irregular due to:
Dead Skin Cell Buildup: Slows natural cell turnover, leading to roughness
Acne & Acne Scarring: Leaves behind bumps, pits, or uneven areas
Sun Damage: Breaks down collagen and thickens the outer skin layer
Dehydration: Makes fine irregularities more visible
Aging: Reduced collagen and elastin affect skin smoothness
Why Do Pores Become Enlarged?
Pores appear larger when they lose elasticity or become clogged:
Excess Oil Production: Sebum stretches pore walls
Loss of Skin Firmness: Aging causes pores to widen
Clogged Pores: Dirt, oil, and dead skin cells enlarge pore openings
Genetics: Natural pore size varies between individuals
