Why are the pores of the nose dilated?

If you've never heard of skin pores, you should know that they play an essential role: they allow the skin to breathe.

How do the pores of the nose work?

Because the skin needs to breathe. Pores are thus like small orifices present on the surface of the skin through which sebum and sweat are evacuated. You should know that sebum is an essential element because it allows the skin to protect itself against external aggressions.

But in people with oily or combination skin, namely people who produce excess sebum, it will remain on the surface of the skin and clog the pores of the nose in particular. To continue to breathe and evacuate sebum and sweat, the pores of the nose will enlarge, they will open: this is called dilated pores. Also, as they are bigger, they are therefore more visible to the eye. 

Why should the pores of the nose be tightened?

​

As the pores of the nose are more visible, it gives a grain of skin on the nose not very pretty, as if there were lots of cells on the nose. And in some people, enlarged nose pores may have a slightly dark color, which enhances their visibility. 

But in addition to being unsightly, dilated pores in the nose can promote the appearance of blackheads . Indeed, the sebum, when it remains stuck in the pores, will change color on contact with the air and become darker or even black. This is called a blackhead. It is indeed sebum that has oxidized. Having too many blackheads can give the image of a person who does not take care of themselves at all.
