Idaho Cosmetology Licensure Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Which type of skin is most often associated with larger pores?

Dry skin

Combination skin

Sensitive skin

Oily skin

Larger pores are most often associated with oily skin due to the increased production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. When the skin produces excess oil, it can lead to a buildup that causes the pores to expand and appear larger. Oily skin tends to have a thicker texture because of the high levels of oil, which can contribute to more noticeable pores. In addition, larger pores can become clogged with oil and debris, further emphasizing their size.

Other skin types like dry skin often have smaller pores since there is less oil present. Combination skin may also feature a mix of both oily and dry areas, so while some areas might have larger pores, it is not as pronounced overall. Sensitive skin is usually characterized by a reaction to various external factors and does not specifically correlate to pore size as strongly as oily skin does.
