what is a good exofoliant and how do close up facial pores?

Answer 1

Now I am not a Pro active fan, but they have a solution not in there kit. it's the DEEP cleaner with an exfolitator wedge combind does the best job ever and will alst a little goes a long way, tere around 18$ at QVC, but if you exfolitate bi-weekly then you will have it for a year. Now another thing is it helps with acne as well so it does several things, this again isn't the one in the kit you see on TV it's the DEEP cleaner. Love it!

Answer 2

It might not be the cheapest option, but Jurlique has two very good products. Wet a small face towel with a drop of Lavender Aromatic Hydrating Concentrate, and put over your face for 2 mins. This opens all pores for deep cleansing. Then use Face Wash Cream gentlly pat/roll over your face. It has nice lil exfoliating crushed oaks, nuts, etc. 100% organic and natural, excellent for your skin, look and feel amazing too.

Answer 3

You should try Mary Kay's Micro Dermabrasion set. It comes with a treatment scrub that will exfoliate, even out skin tone, help remove and prevent blemishes, and give the skin a youthfull glow. Then the replenish serum restores the lipid barrier which protects the skin. Facial pores cannot be closed, but their appearance can be minimized safely. This set does that for you. I've used it for over a year now and my skin looks great. See the link below for more info:

They are are pretty much the same. But always use with a mild soap if using a loofah. I wouldn't use them more than once a day as too much scrubbing can cause break outs & rashes. Use warm water for the scrubbing & when done splash with cool water then a toner or astringent depending on whether you face is oily or dry. My face is dry so afterwards about once a week I use honey on my face, let it set for 10-15 mins. & wash with a mild soap like dove & pat dry. Honey tends to put moisture back in the skin & eases inflammation. I use to be a cosmetologist.

Answer 5

St. Ives Apricot Scrub is WAY too harsh an exfoliant. It can actually make you break out. I'd recommend Clinique 7-day scrub. I actually use the Clinique men's exfoliating scrub; it has a wonderful after tingle.

Answer 6

Arbonne makes a great one. It's called "Intelligence" Thermal Fusion Mask. It has 3 functions:
1. Thermal part: warms your face and draws blood circulation to surface.
2. Exfoliation: after putting on mask, you wet your fingers and rub around, this exfoliates, and activates thermal action.
3. Tightens skin/draws out impurities: Mask is left on for at least 5 minutes. It dries and draws your skin tighter and tightens pores.
The best way to reduce pores it to get them deep down clean.

u can make ur own mask at home! just do it only once or twice a month.

get a bottle of uncoated aspirin at wal mart (it's only $1.00 a bottle)

take 3-4 tablets, drop a few drips of water on top of them. they will soften after a few minutes. squirt either some Cetaphil face wash OR some honey, mix. apply to clean face, rubbing gently. allow to dry for 30 min or more (i leave it on for hours!), and wash w/ warm water. MOISTURIZE!!! ur skin will feel realllly soft
