Many matrons who grieved in their youth over the structural defects of the skin leading to enlarged pores are the envy of their daughters who are now passing through the same cycle(Goodman, 1936). Goodman recommended the following astringents to shrink pores: alcohol, tannins (in almond, cinnamon, rose,lavender, or lemon oils), alum, bismuth, acetic/boric/citric/lactic acid, balsam of Peru, active beta-naphthol, resoricin, sulfur, lecithin,and metal salts (Goodman, 1936).
