Myth: a Pore Is a Door

Contrary to the popular teen myth, a splash of cold water cannot close your pores. Pores are not doors that can be opened or closed and their size doesn’t change. But their appearance can. Pores that are filled with dirt, debris and bacteria certainly look bigger because they’re more noticeable.

Minimizing the appearance of pores is best done with skincare containing hydroxy acids to stop dead cells from accumulating inside the pores, kaolin clay to tighten, and advanced peptides to maintain skin firmness.
