Does a steam facial cause enlarged pores?

anonymouspatientinfo01
I steam my face about once a week after I cleanse and exfoliate. I've read that it open pores causing products to sink deeper in the skin. Only thing that worries me is doing the steam Facial may cause to pores to open and stay enlarged. Any thoughts? Thank you :)
