Pores are small openings in the skin that allow oil and sweat to come to the surface of the skin. It is impossible to remove pores. Pores will become more prominent as we age since our skin loses some of the collagen and elastin that supports the pore opening, resulting in large pores that are more visible. Genetics can also play a role in pore size and men tend to have larger and deeper pores.
