Hot water opens pores and makes them more noticeable. Wash, clean & rinse. When done, use cold water to close your pores & keep dirt out. It also makes pores appear smaller.

The above answer is misleading. Pores do not really open and close. A complete old wives tale. Keeping your face clean will make your pores appear smaller and your face smoother.

How long do your pores stay open after washing your hair?

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.

boil hot water and out your face over it.

( this should close the pores). it worked for me. hoped this helped :)
