Does hot water open pores? (link)
No. Pores (and skin) do not have muscles so are unable to open and close (expand and contract). Hot/warm water or steam softens the skin and the oil/dirt in the pores making it easier to clean. It can also relax the facial mucles under the skin which is why it seems your skin is reacting to the temperature (like the mucles react and contract with cold too).
