I use alcohol wipes. They clean the pores very well and help tighten them. So not use lotion or moisturizer on your face more than once a week and use it sparingly. Lotion and moisture let the pores relax and trap in dirt. After showers and exposure to humidity be sure to clean face with wipes. You can buy them by the box from your local pharmacy. It will usually take 2 to clean your face. Do not be around flames when you just put it on your face. There has been a case where a woman model did this and lit a cigarette and burned her face. Just take the precaution. Good Luck. I seen results in about 1 week.
