I recently sent a survey out to my subscribers asking what skin problems they felt they needed help with and a large number of them responded asking how to shrink pores.
I had to do plenty of research on that! In all of my reading, it quickly became apparent that actually there is very little one can do to reduce pore size – you’re born with what you’ve got!
HOWEVER, there are some things that if you do them on a regular, repeated basis will help! I went to the American Academy of Dermatology for some answers…
Here’s the basics:
1. Use only non-comedogenic skin care products (oil free)
2. Cleanse your face 2x per day
3. Sunscreen
4. Exfoliate
5. Be gentle with your skin
Keep in mind that none of the above is a permanent solution. Only an actual dermatologist can assist you with that!
Since facial clay and mud masks seem to be high on the list for helping, I am developing an extremely high quality clay mask and facial scrub (all in one!) that will exfoliate and tighten. So far, response has been great!
I tried it as a mask first and then hopped in the shower to rinse it off. As it reconstituted in the moisture, I gently rubbed the clays against my face and finished rinsing it off.
After my shower, I used my serum (as always!) and felt my skin… It. Was. Amazing!
If you’d like to try it, please understand I’m still in development and sometimes it takes a while to develop a handcrafted item, depending on volunteers and feedback. (but you COULD volunteer!)
