Which skin type is characterized by enlarged pores and a shiny appearance?

Enlarged pores and a shiny appearance are key characteristics of oily skin. This skin type produces excess sebum, which can lead to a glossy look on the face and larger pores, particularly in the T-zone area—forehead, nose, and chin. The increased oil production can contribute to a more pronounced appearance of the pores, as they can become clogged with oil and debris, further enlarging them. Understanding the nature of oily skin is crucial for selecting appropriate skincare products and treatments, as well as for addressing concerns such as acne, which is often associated with this skin type. This knowledge assists estheticians in providing tailored care and recommendations to clients with oily skin.
