Home Based Astringents

An astringent also helps to lower the PH level of skin after cleansing. It removes all the traces of leftover makeup and opens up l the pores which have been clogged by grease and grim. Astringent should be such that it works according to your skin requirements and improves overall appearance of skin.

Astringent should be used after immediate washing of skin and before using moisturizer. After washing your face with a gentle cleanser, dry your face using a soft towel.
