your face has little holes in it, i guess that%26#039;s the best way to describe them.


and your pores are those little holes.


they let your skin breathe but if you don%26#039;t wash your face or let your pores get clogged up, you get a zit.

Reply:Humans breathe in two different ways - the first way is through your lungs, the second way is through your skin. There are tiny, tiny openings all over your skin called %26quot;pores%26quot;, these allow for a small amount of oxygen exchange, for the blood vessels close to the surface of your skin. Pores become clogged with dirt and oil, which is what causes pimples, zits, acne. The reason that most products clean deep into the pores, is to prevent acne by making sure dirt doesn%26#039;t get trapped in your skin :).
