Essential Oil Quick Usage Guide - Astringent

Astringents tighten the pores when used topically and can help reduce the appearance of large pores and also help control excess sebum production. Using astringent essential oils in your homemade recipes can help give your skin a more awake a flawless appearance while also nourishing the skin with their therapeutic properties.
