Skin and Hair Solutions

Enlarged pores plague many people–from adolescents through adults.  And, attempting to reverse this condition is often a double-edged sword.  No matter what is used to “try” to close pores–witch hazel, toners, astringents–even rubbing alcohol–there are invariably mixed results.  The very thing that is supposed to shrink pores–hence, to reduce excessive oil and preserve the skin’s ability to retain its natural moisture–is often so caustic as to actually burn one’s skin.  This complicates and further damages the very condition one is trying to alleviate, even causing the skin to overcompensate for the over-drying by producing more oil:  a seemingly hopeless, vicious circle, a truly “no-win” situation!  

Thankfully, there are now more naturally derived and gentle products that do what these astringents could not do.  The whole focus of “reducing pores” has finally been replaced by simply “cleansing the pores” more deeply and naturally then was once possible; and subsequently, allowing the natural act of “air drying” to do what chemicals and toners have failed to do:  to close the pores, retaining the skin’s natural moisture, hence a clear, smooth, youthful and radiant appearance.
