Red & patchy skin.

[aliva]

Recently, I noticed that the skin around my nose and mouth seems to have developed open pores. I feel my make-up just goes and lodges inside these pores and when I scrub the skin, it becomes red and patchy. Help please.

Well there is not much remedy but you can apply toner regularly after cleansing face.you can also wash your face with cold water or ice water.Both toner and cold ice water will help you to close the pores.But there is no permanant treatment for closing the pores as far as i know..

As I live in an industrial environment, the pollution makes my problem difficult. I use mild cleanser which is soap-free and then use a natural toner. With your suggestion, I feel with regular exfoliation and toning of the skin will manage to get rid of most of it.
