How do i make my pores smaller?

i have semi-large pores on my nose and it bothers me greatly, is there any way i can minimize them? any answers will be helpful, (:|||Once pores open up, it is impossible to close them. It is possible, however, to minimize their appearance. Use non-comedogenic lotion (won%26#039;t clog pores) and apply a face mask. Splashing cold or warm water on your face does not do anything btw.|||If you splash your face with freezing water (seriously, the colder the better), your pores will shrink up. This is good to do after you%26#039;ve washed with a good moisturizer!|||i scrub my face twice a week and i use a mudd mask...|||you cant technically make your pores any smaller than they are. but you can minimize their apperance. there are pore minimizing lotions, scrubs, and washes that should help. also try pore strips, it will get out a lot of the stuff that clogs them and makes them appear darker. also, sephora or clinique or other high end makeup retailers sell syrums that you can put on before makeup that virturally makes them invisible.
