Cleansing Your Pores With Toners
Employ an all-purpose toner to deep clean your pores. Avoid products containing alcohol or benzoyl peroxide as these ingredients may dry out your skin in the same way they can dry out hair.
- Once your pores have expanded, they likely won’t close fully again. While regular products can help with minimizing their appearance, over the counter and solution medications tend to be more successful, though not entirely natural.[9] To choose an ideal product for yourself, research its components.
- Toners penetrate deep into pores to eliminate oil, dirt, and dead skin cells that accumulate and make your pores appear larger.
- If your skin is prone to breakouts, toners could exacerbate existing problems.
- You can purchase natural toner in several grocery stores, online retailers and drug stores.
- Make your own natural toner or astringent using ingredients available from nature.
Create an apple juice vinegar toner at home quickly and affordably to use daily as a toner. This DIY toner solution provides quick relief while remaining affordable and user-friendly.
- Combine one part apple juice vinegar and two parts water.
- Apply this solution using either cotton ball, or use a small shower bottle.
- Add this toner immediately after purging for optimal results.
- Relax; the vinegar smell will dissipate soon enough.
- Stick with light creams when trying to prevent dry skin; however, this approach may be harsh on those with sensitive skin.
- If vinegar seems harsh to your tastes, try making your own natural toner using another approach.
Lemon juice toner can also be an economical and natural solution, providing astringency at an exceptional cost-benefit ratio.
- Crush 1/4 cup of lemon juice into powder form.
- Add 3/4 cup of witch hazel, available at both traditional grocery stores and natural supply shops.
- Combine fixings into an airtight container, then store them for up to one month in your cooler.
