EVOO is really good cleaning agent on your skin and it’s like a “oil combating oil” so it will not cause pimples. But my question is, does it make your pores appear bigger?
Does using extra virgin olive oil for makeup removal makes your “pores appear bigger”?

I never used EVOO for eye make-up removal. Put I did find this. I hope this helps.
This is properly the best known function of EVOO other than cooking. My first experience with it on my eyes wasn’t a happy one because I got cloudy eyes. That irritated my eyes big time and I had quit using it. However, as time went by, it seemed to lose that cloudy effect on my eyes for some unexplained reason and I returned to use it regularly.
However, I prefer using it to remove face than eye makeup. I normally leave my eye makeup to coconut oil deal with and EVOO does the cleaning work on the rest of the face. You would probably ask, “Why don’t you just use coconut oil to remove all makeup?” Well, I did try that but it wasn’t successful. Coconut oil isn’t as runny on my skin and it seems to sink into my skin instead doing its removing makeup job. It also takes a lot more time and more coconut oil to remove face makeup compared to EVOO. Therefore, I use coconut oil to remove eye makeup (as it’s more gentle) but EVOO to remove face makeup. It’s a lot more efficient this way.
If I am on the move, I’d only bring EVOO for convenience’s sake.
I do use an additional facial cleanser after using EVOO as oil alone doesn’t help my face squeaky clean. (I am one who believes in double cleansing.) I know many may argue that double cleansing isn’t suitable for dry skin (like me) but it’s been working for me for many donkey years and I’ve never had any problems with this method so I am sticking to it.
