If your skin keeps getting irritated, the body's protective response thickens the horny layer, making skin rough and hard, and pores become more prominent.
Beauty/dermatology explanation. Several compound constructions: 受け続ける ('keep receiving') uses ~続ける; ~により ('due to, by') is formal 'by means of / because of'; ゴワゴワ is a mimetic for rough/stiff texture; ~たり~たり lists representative states; 目立ってくる uses ~てくる for a change coming into view. 角質 ('keratin, horny layer') 肥厚 ('thickening') are dermatology terms.
