As if women don’t have enough beauty anxiety. Starting with their first “Barbie”, women are constantly fed images that subliminally throw a white hot spotlight on their physical imperfections. Of course, who doesn’t look imperfect compared with a photoshopped movie, toy or glamour mag?! One writer speculated that if Barbie were blown up to human proportions, she would be six feet tall and have a 39” bust, 18” waist and 33” hips. Add those absurd measurements to the fact that Barbie’s toy scale permanently reads 110 pounds, and you get a body mass index placing her squarely on the spectrum of anorexia. Coming soon! Starve-Y: the Binge and Purge Edition.
Then there’s those damn wrinkles. Solution? Inject your face with a virus (botox) so noxious that the muscle fibers in your face simply wither and die when exposed to it. Reminder: the “Black Death” was not the opening act for Motorhead back in the ‘80s. It was actually the bubonic plague virus that wiped out a third of Europe’s population in the Middle Ages. But let’s have a party and trade botox injections just so we don’t look old!
And now, the latest cause for concern: enlarged facial pores. The bigger they are, the more they make your face look like the surface of Venus following a heavy meteor shower. And those micro-craters can become little petri dishes for growing blackheads and acne. Womens’ recent obsession with shrinking or hiding the size of their facial pores has become so profound that dermatologists have created a pathological name for it: Porexia.
The hysteria surrounding large pores has predictably led to some new wacko, trendy treatments. There’s the “Galvanic Current Mask” which basically works by boiling the oils off your face while your facial muscles are forced to contract with electrical current. Not a high-tech gal? Fine. How about something natural. I mean really natural, as in uh, bird droppings. Yes, you too can pay hundreds of dollars for a Geisha Facial in which a professionally trained esthetician massages bird feces into your facial pores. Women who have undergone the treatment report a strange smell during application. Hmm. We can’t imagine why.
Your pores are beautiful, but if they annoy you or if you are one of the unfortunate women to have large ones, we have a much simpler solution. Here are three fabulous, all organic, all natural products to tame those enlarged pores. Note: none of the products mentioned below have ever passed through an animal’s digestive tract:
Spa Technologies’ Micro Pearl Dermabrasion Cream is a blend of ultra-fine pearl, pumice and seaweed extract that provides a professional quality skin-resurfacing right at home. Besides smoothing our wrinkles and fighting discoloration, this excellent elixir refines those large pores, making them less unsightly.
L'Avenir Healfast is an all-natural miracle cream used for many skin maladies, but is especially effective for minimizing those oversized pores. By attacking and regulating sebeceous gland production - the culprit producing the oil that leads to the enlarged skin pores in the first place - Healfast sends those porky pores packing.
Spa Tech’s Clay Mask is ideal for problem skin as it purifies and decongests your pores. The perfect blend of thyme, tea tree and lemongrass oils combats bacteria (responsible for congesting the skin) while algae detoxifies and controls future breakouts.
And finally, Coats Aloe’s Camphor Masque is medically a engineered formulation of Camphor and Sulfur that also normalizes sebeceous gland production. Camphor, taken from the Asian evergreen tree has been known for centuries to have numerous health benefits. The Quran even mentions camphor as a drink flavoring. Wouldn’t you rather put something on your face that’s actually safe ingest instead of something you wouldn’t touch with your worst enemy’s twenty foot pole??
Don’t wait around for the next skin fad. These potent pore zappers are available right now from skin scholar Ettia Tal at her organic skin care boutique InnovativeHealingTouch.com. Come one, come all. We will make those pores disappear instead of all the money in your wallet. So go ahead. Pore it on. We can take it.
