Look closely at your face in a mirror.
Can you see tiny gray dots on your nose or chin?
These tiny pores with hair-like structures coming out of them actually help keep your skin moisturized.
And because they’re supposed to be there, squeezing them can actually cause more harm than good.
Just under the surface of your skin are small glands that produce an oily substance called sebum.
Occasionally, a sebaceous filament getsblockedwhen your skin produces too much sebum.
Plus, you could end up stretching out your pore and making it appear even larger.
Another product that can be purchased over-the-counter or prescribed by a doctor is retinol.
This helps with exfoliation and uncovers new skin underneath dead cells.
