Do You Know Of The Best Pore Minimizer

By Tomas Erickson


Wouldn't be great to have that ideal looking, silky smooth skin? You can be the envy of everybody. But in reality, most of us face skin related issues like enlarged pores.

When astringents are put on your skin, the same thing happens. The skin's tissues pucker up, just like those in your mouth.

One of the effects is to cause your pores to contract, so you have smoother-looking skin. And just like the astringency that you experience in your mouth, the effect is temporary. You need to keep on doing it.

That makes it important to choose the right kind of pore minimizing product for your skin. You are going to be using it every day. Some people find alcohol works for them. It is certainly a strong astringent.

By definition, pores are the tiny opening that allows our skin to "breath". These holes allow the sweat and the natural oils of our bodies to be released into the skin's surface from the glands. The oils released through pores are responsible for making our skin lubricated and appear healthy.

There are instances when the pores get blocked by dust, oils, and dead skin, resulting into what we commonly known as pimples.

So if you want to create and maintain a smoother skin appearance by minimizing your pores, you may want to look at astringents that you can use every day, month in, month out.

The effective way to minimize pores If you are having this issue of enlarged pores especially, on your face area, you should put in mind that there is no permanent solution to treat such problems.

Some natural astringents, like witch hazel, are quite strong. You can use witch hazel on its own, if you have oily skin, but it is important to avoid witch hazel extract that contains alcohol, for the reasons already stated. More commonly, witch hazel is combined in facial toners with milder astringents, such as rose water or orange blossom water - astringents that are suitable for all skin types. Hydrosols also have a delightful scent, an important consideration, since you will likely be using a toner every day. Hydrosols have been used for centuries to beautify the skin. They are natural products, free of synthetic chemicals, and their safety has stood the test of time. In addition, they generally have a slightly acidic pH, just the same as that of healthy skin.

The skin maintains this "acid mantle" as a first line of defense against infectious microbes. Detergents, alcohol and other synthetic chemicals can compromise the acid mantle, leaving the skin vulnerable. Hydrosol toners have the opposite effect.

This means that we should look for products which will treat our pores from the inside as well as from the outside. Once we focus on treating large pores instead of simply covering them, long-lasting, healthy skin is to be had.
