Are enlarged pores caused by mites?

There is no connection between enlarged pores and mites. However, mites can cause acne or blackheads on the skin.

Enlarged pores are related to lack of water, cleanliness, aging, and squeezing of the skin.

The skin is more prone to dehydration, especially dry skin. Once the skin surface is dehydrated, the stratum corneum and skin will become dry and tight, and the fine lines of the pores will become more and more obvious. Occasionally, the pores can shrink due to dry skin. If your skin is dry for a long time, your pores will not shrink back.

If the skin is in a dry state for a long time, it will secrete a large amount of oil in order to retain the moisture inside. If it is not cleaned properly, the oil will accumulate in the hair follicles and skin, clogging the pores and enlarging the pores.

As people age, the protein in the skin will be lost, the skin will lose elasticity, and the pores will become larger. At this time, you can only use some anti-aging skin care products to slow down your aging.

Sometimes people's skin behaves abnormally, such as developing acne and blackheads, and then people can't help but squeeze it, which squeezes out dirt and damages the skin. Excessive squeezing will affect skin regeneration, and if the pores are damaged and cannot be repaired in time, the pores will become larger.
