Ice cannot close pores. Pores are openings in your skin that cannot be opened or closed. While applying ice or cold water to your face can temporarily reduce the appearance of enlarged pores by constricting the skin and reducing inflammation, this effect is only temporary.
Although pores can't be closed, ice can provide other benefits for your skin, like reducing puffiness and inflammation. The cold temperature can also tighten the skin, creating a temporary smoothing effect. However, ice does not affect the size of your pores or permanently reduce their appearance.
For lasting pore reduction, consider other strategies like using products with retinoids, salicylic acid, or hyaluronic acid.
