How do large pores arise in men?
Basically, the size of your pores is genetically determined. Specifically, this means that some people may be more likely to have large pores than others. However, your lifestyle and the associated health of your skin should not be neglected. Excessive alcohol consumption or too much stress in everyday life can enlarge your pores over time and promote new blackheads.
Poor skin hygiene can also be very conducive to the formation of large pores. In order to keep the pores as small as possible and to always avoid the appearance of pimples and blackheads, regular cleansing of your face plays an important role. The pores on the nose also benefit from this, which can improve the overall appearance of your skin. In connection with the natural aging of the skin, the formation of large pores often becomes a problem.
Why the pores don't shrink themselves again
Many men hope that the large pores behave similarly to the pimples on their skin. While the latter disappear over time, the pores will not shrink again without action. In order for the large pores on the nose to contract again, it is important to carefully and intensively care for the men's skin around the face.
A functioning routine based on toner, moisturizer and lots of vitamins is exactly the right approach to cleansing. Serums with integrated acid can also be beneficial to the skin at a low concentration and allow you to react optimally to large pores on your nose. However, without a thoughtful approach to your skin care routine, you'll have a hard time naturally refining your pores and strengthening your skin.
This is how you find the right care for large-pored skin
If your skin has already developed large pores, quick countermeasures play a very important role for you. Especially in a sensitive area like the nose, it's important to be careful in order to improve your skin's appearance and optimize care step by step. With the following measures you can actively combat blackheads and overly large pores without damaging the skin:
- Soothing facial toner exactly for your skin type
- Acidic serums such as AHA and BHA peelings in everyday life
- Creams and care products with vitamins A and C
- The correct order when applying care products and creams
- Natural UV protection to protect your skin from the sun
In addition, there are of course many other ways to cleanse your face efficiently and regulate pore size again.

More tips against blackheads directly on the nose
There are numerous home remedies to get rid of pimples, blackheads and large pores. These are characterized by their quick and smooth application, without you having to rethink how you cleanse your skin. In combination with frequent care, the home remedies have a very calming effect on you and provide you with optimal relief. The following three home remedies are ideal examples when it comes to regulating your pore size and caring for your facial skin:
- A soothing steam bath becomes an effective and practical solution, especially for dark blackheads. This way you can remove the dead skin cells from your skin at any time.
- With the help of nourishing retinol products and vitamin A, you can further stimulate the formation of new and healthy skin cells. The vitamin is also said to promote the production of collagen.
- Clarifying masks are one of the easiest ways to relieve the affected areas of the skin. If you have large pores on your nose, you can also use peel-off strips.
With intensive peelings and many other products, the skin care options in your case are practically limitless. It is important that the care products used for your face promote natural blood circulation and contribute to an even complexion. In most cases, this is possible with long-term use to actively strengthen your skin again.
Regular cleaning to protect against large pores
A one-time skin care routine will not be enough to regulate pore size again and achieve the desired shape. When it comes to the right care products, long-term treatment is important in order to reach deeper layers of the skin and break down the excess sebum step by step. In most cases, especially with oily skin, it is worth adapting your care routine over time and reacting more precisely to the characteristics of the skin.
To ensure that your clogged pores do not become a gateway for bacteria, it is extremely important to react quickly. Additional help such as a healthier lifestyle or a professional cleaning from a dermatologist can increase your chances. The most important thing, however, is not to damage or even enlarge the large pores on your nose with your fingers.
Choose the right care for large pores!
Once your pores are enlarged, they will definitely not get smaller again so quickly. At this point, effective care products are important to protect you from impurities in your skin and to keep sebum production more precisely under control. As mentioned, masks and other products to cleanse your face can also be helpful. In our article on optimal facial care for men, we also show you what to do if you have large pores.
