Myth.
Pores don’t have muscles, so they can’t physically open or close.
What does happen is that pores can appear larger or smaller depending on what’s going on in your skin. When pores are clogged with oil and debris, they stretch and look more noticeable. When they’re clean and supported by healthy skin, they appear tighter and smoother.
That’s why consistent cleansing, gentle exfoliation, and overall skin health matter more than “shrinking” products.
Healthy skin = better-looking pores ✨
