  • To close your pores, yes. They will just open again anyway. But it is really good for your hair, and it boosts your metabolism, to give yourself a cold shot after a shower.
  • Cold water does not close pores and can actually irritate the skin. In fact, there are no muscles around the pore walls, so they cannot "open and close." Pores remain the same size, even though they may sometimes appear larger because of dead skin cells, dirt, etc. It's best to use WARM water, neither hot nor cold, for your skin. Both extremes can be irritating and have adverse affects. However, rinsing with cold water after shampooing/conditioning your hair will close the scales of your hair cuticles. This means it will make your hair appear smoother and more shiny.
  • I don't know about useless, but it feels great. . . Kind of refreshing.
  • This is invigorating. I do this most all the time. Beats a cup of coffee.
