In the context of skincare and dermatology, the English term "clog pores" refers to the blockage of the tiny openings on the skin's surface. In Tamil, this concept is most accurately and commonly expressed as "அடைபட்ட துளைகள்" (Adaipaṭṭa tuḷaikaḷ) or "நுண்துளைகள் அடைப்பது" (Nuṇtuḷaikaḷ adaipadhu) .
