Re: anyway to permanently shrink enlarged pores?

Hello!You may want to read the reply that I sent to Acne flare-up.The things mentioned may help you as well.Again following ayurveda, it is mentioned that enlarged pores can deal with an overconsumption of sugar.Sugar includes all sweetners, even honey, though things such as honey and maple syrup do have more retained nutrients compared to white, refined sugar.Anyways there is an excellent book calles, Absolute Beauty...Radiant Skin and Inner Harmony Throught the Ancient Secrets of Ayurveda....by Pratima Raichur.It deals with the inner beauty and how what is going on on the inside is reflected in our outward appearance.It gives such a deeper approach to beauty.It also gives a wide array of useful suggestions for beauty suggestions.In this book she suggests that eating sweets, red meat, alcohol, coffee, and tobacco can all exacerbate this situation.As can emotional upheavals.Home treatments which she suggests are excercising, taking detoxifying baths with Epsom Salts ,or ginger and rock salt....doing weekly facials made from cumin, coriander,and a few drops of water.She has many, many other helpful suggestions in the book as well.Please do read my other reply though.Acne, is always an outward manisfestation of something else going on inside....whether it is puberty and how are body is changing, stress, nutritional lack, stress,dietary choices.So, hope this can be a fun adventure for you!A time to nurture yourself!Take care, Penelope
