Washing your face in warm water allows you to clean the insides of the pores because the warm water causes the pores to expand. After cleaning your pores, you can use a mild astringent such as witchhazel to contract the clean, empty pores again--or cold water will do something similar. You could develop a break-out if the cleanser you use is too harsh, if you scrub your skin too hard, or if the hot-cold alternation inflames your skin, or if the pores were not cleaned thoroughly.

Pores do not technically "open" or "close" in response to washing hair. Pores are not muscles that can actively open or close. However, warm water and steam from a shower can help soften sebum and debris in the pores, making it easier to cleanse them. The effects of washing hair on the appearance of pores are temporary and can vary depending on individual skin types and cleansing routines.
