What causes oilness and enlarged pores?
A. There are several factores that contribute to oily skin and enlarged pores. Genetics and hot, humid climates may determine oil production and pore size, while some medications and cosmetic ingredients can irriate oily skin. Also, stress can trigger hormones, leading to the over production of sebum, or skin oil. When excess oil mixes with dead skin cells, it can lead to skin blemishes. However, if your skin has consistent breakouts, consult your skin care professional–you may have problem prone skin.
