Open skin pores (large pores, enlarged pores) are a genetic problem and indicate oily skin. These are nothing but openings through which hair follicles emerge; but they become a problem because of excessive sebum production from the sebaceous glands surrounding the follicles. Unfortunately, you cannot permanently close the pores but with regular remedies you can definitely reduce their sizes considerably, prevent them from increasing or enlarging further and get an even skin texture. Also keep the pores clean of dirt and dead skin so that they don't result in blackheads, pimples, acne, etc. Since open pores are mostly because of secretion of oil, have lots of water as sweating is the body's natural metod of expelling this oil.
