It is different. Whiteheads (closed comedones) are non-inflammatory pimples or comedones. Whiteheads form because of the congestion of oil or sebum and dead cells inside the hair follicle. They remain beneath the skin's surface and . do not get much oxygen, which is why they remain a white or yellowish color. Blackheads (opened comedones) are non-inflammatory pimples or comedones. Blackheads occur where the pore opens to the surface. The sebum, which contains the skin pigment melanin, oxidizes and turns a brown or black color. They appear commonly on the chin, nose, back, or ears.

Pores is not blackheads. There are actually two different way in curing both pores and blackheads. You can try out b.liv's "off with those heads" (blackheads sebum gel). It can help you to remove the blackheads within 14 days.

As for the pores, you can try out b.liv shrink and tighten to reduce the amount of pores and tighten the pores.

Blackheads are caused by dead skin cells and sebum (AKA oil) getting stuck in the pores. When the oil is exposed to the air, it turns black.

How long does it take for the pores to close?

Pores on your face do not open and close. they do not have muscles around them. Your pores can appear larger when they are clogged with dead skin cells and dirt.

How do you tell if your pores are clogged?

You can tell if your pores are clogged if your skin consists of tiny blackheads. These blackheads can be removed with special blackhead peeling strips (I use the green tea kind). They are usually sold in Asian markets. Otherwise, they have creams that you can apply and exfoliate. For me, I heavily rely on the strips made by a company called "The Face Shop". They do not have a online store, but they have several locations around the U.S. The strip I use gets rid of the blackheads right before your eyes. If you don't like these methods you can also steam your face by boiling water and placing your face above the pot for a couple of minutes. This will open up your pores.

one big reason is when you do not wash your face at night.. weather you have makeup on or not, bacteria gets on your face during the day and at night everything on your face gets in your skin and clogs your pores , streching them, and causing pimples or blackheads. You can minimize your pores by getting a pore minimizing face wash

Does putting extra virgin olive oil on your skin remove blackheads?

Blackheads tend to be caused when, particularly during puberty, the skin produces excess oils which then trap particles of dirt, which in turn block pores. Adding additional oil might therefore add to the problem rather than help to alleviate it. Washing with warm soapy water, rinsing off well and then splashing with cold water (to close the pores) is probably as a good a treatment as any.
