It seems like it's true that pores get bigger the more you touch them.

Someone who works in the skincare industry said they’ve seen many people who shrink their pores, but never anyone who actually manages to shrink them. Since pores get bigger the more you mess with them, I guess leaving them alone is the best option. They say that if you extract whiteheads and blackheads, sebum fills the space and widens the pores. I’m also worried about blackheads; is this something I just have to live with for the rest of my life for the sake of my pores?🤣🤣 I’m suddenly feeling sad. I wish I hadn't touched them in the first place.
