Yesterday I decided to tidy up the mirror container in the toilet where i have all my beauty products.
And reorganized it separating every product for the function it has.
So i noticed how many things i have for my face!
Lets see how (and if) I use them
There we go:
Soap
-
Sulfur soap
It is recommended for oily skins, with its astringent and refreshing properties, acts on acne and points blacks, narrowing the pores.
Do not wash your face more then twice per day with this soap.
And once a week i use the rough side of the sponge, together with the soap, as exfoliating.
Can find it in any herbalist's shop, quite cheap price.
Mask
-
1 Face mask mud of Mar Morto (Bottega Verde)
recommended for combination and oily skins, with Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Bromine and Sodium.
Cleanses thoroughly, it is also ideal for a revitalizing dull skin.
I find it very refreshing so i use it also to narrowing pores.
I used it once a week, but now I just use the day before and event where i need to use lot of make-up to clean my skin and make it look good.
This is also a product you can get from herbalist's shop and is cheap.
-
2 Glycolic Acid Peel Off Face Mask (Bottega Verde)
This one can be used for every type of skins, Eliminates impurities and dead cells from the skin surface using the action exfoliating glycolic acid.
I do apply it after a warm shower or after using warm water on my face or hot steam, to enlarge pores.
So the mask can penetrate better the pores and clean them deeply, after that i was my face with cold water to narrow pores again.
As the one before I used once a week, but now juat when i need to clean my skin before applying make-up for a big event.
This is also a product you can get from herbalist's shop and is cheap.

3 Wander pore White Clay Clear (Etude)
I just report what they say on the official website: Pore adhension + Pore cleansing +Soften texture + even tone + hydrating - Pore care mask for clean and clear skin with white clay , rice bran and grain powder.
I found it hepful for oily skins, it clean and revitalize my skin, giving it a better color and a better look, it is very refreshing and narrows pores, but i need to apply a moisturizing cream, cause it can leave my skin a bit too dry.
I use it a couple of time a month and as the mask before I do apply it after enlarging my pores with warm water or steam for a deeper cleaning.
Price is medium also cause it can't be found in Italy so it is needed to be shipped.
