“Pores are an actual physical structure, an opening of the skin. So, what surrounds that opening? Skin—and when you get deeper into the skin, there’s collagen. So, there are bundles of collagen that surround that pore. It’s squeezing around the pore with the collagen,” he explains. “As those bundles of collagen start to diminish, especially with age, that structural support that’s holding the pore tight will loosen. As you lose that collagen and as you age, your pore will also start to dilate because you’ve lost that collagen.”
