Astringents renew
and tone the skin. They also help close the pores, reduce oil, and reduce a tired
appearance. 
Lemon astringent - Lemon is the best astringent. Mix the juice
of 1/2 a lemon with a little water. Apply with a cotton ball and let it work for
30 minutes. Wash the face with cold water. This lotion can also be used by men
as an after-shave since it protects and desinfects the skin.
Sage lotion - Sage also has antiseptic and astringent properties. Apply
sage infusion to the skin using a cotton ball. Witch
hazel - It is an excellent astringent. Apply to the face with a cotton
ball. Cucumber
- This another excellent astringent. Just slice a cold cucumber and put the slices
all over your face. Lie down and relax. Raspberry
leaf tea - Improves tissue firmness |
