Question: 1 / 400

What skin type is likely to have enlarged pores?

Oily skin

Enlarged pores are most commonly associated with oily skin. This skin type produces a higher amount of sebum, which can lead to an accumulation of oil and dirt within the pores. As the pores become clogged, they can stretch and appear larger. Oily skin is often characterized by a shiny appearance and can also be prone to acne, which is further linked to the condition of the pores.

While combination skin can also have enlarged pores in its oily areas, it is primarily the oiliness of certain areas (like the T-zone) that contributes to this issue. Dry skin, on the other hand, usually has smaller, less visible pores due to lower sebum production, and normal skin generally has a balanced appearance with pores that are not notably enlarged.
