Open skin pores are small pit-like pores that appear in people with combination to oily skin.The appearance of open pores is usually caused by overactive sebaceous (oil) glands. This causes the pores to expand to accommodate the excess sebum production. Having open pores on your skin can make your face look dull and old. Pores also accumulate dirt and become clogged. A clogged pore leads to further complications like pimples, blackheads, and excess production of sebum.
