The correct answer: B.S.
The only thing splashing icy water on your face does -- besides, perhaps, wake you up -- is to cause the blood vessels to constrict so your skin feels tighter. Pore size is hereditary and they get bigger (looking) when they're clogged with oil and dead skin cells. The only way you can "shrink" pores that are enlarged from grime is to clean them out. Salicylic acid works great.
