Adding on to everyone else's responses..
Apricot scrub will just make it worse. The apricot beads in there will just dig the dirt into your pores deeper, causing you to breakout, and having our pores still exposed and susceptible to bacteria.
Take a lukewarm shower (never a bath) or use the sink to wash your face. Use Noxzema face cream, and rub it into your face in a circular motion for about a minute. The menthol helps to open up the pores, while the other ingredients washes out the dirt. Rinse it off in the warm water, then soak your face in cold water for about a minute, or use a washcloth to pat your face with cold water. The cold water closes up your pores, leaving bacteria out of the skin.
There is also an astrigent in the grocery store made by clean & clear that will minimize the appearance of pores while cleaning your face. Works wonders, and it's only 4-5 dollars. Clinique works but they're slightly pricier. I would assume you would like to spend less money.
This however will take awhile until the pores actually close up. I have this problem, too. Usually because younger people have the open pores because younger people tend to have more oily skin than older people. Oil opens the pores and keeps them open.
Don't use scrubs, don't use beads -- they'll just keep your pores open. Use something that contains menthol such as Noxzema.

As mention below, use a good scrub, every other day. Also I suggest using a Clinique toner. It got rid of my pores. In case you wear foundation, I suggest wearing as little as possible, if any on your cheeks. Dirt will get clogged in your pores, and they will get bigger. After doing sport, make sure you wash your face properly and ALWAYS take off make up.
After a month or so, if you follow these things, you should see a difference.
If all fails, I suggest going to a dermatologist.
Hope this helped :)
