Garden of Wisdom for Victoria Health's Pore Cleaning Powder gently cleanses dirt and oil from pores and minimizes the appearance of large clogged pores, revealing beautifully clear skin.
Pore Cleaning Powder is a pore cleanser that removes dirt, oil, and impurities from open and enlarged pores. It is suitable for all skin types and can be applied to the whole face or to areas prone to enlarged pores, such as the nose or T-zone. Regular use may help prevent blackheads and breakouts.
How Pore Cleaning Powder works:
Pink Kaolin Clay is gently exfoliating and light on the skin. Pink Clay can help to minimise the appearance of pores, blackheads and achieve a balanced complexion.
Calcium carbonate is absorbent to clean the pores of excess oil, dirt, and impurities.
Zinc Oxide helps soothe irritated skin, displays astringent properties to regulate oil production whilst improving pore appearance, and encourages rapid healing of inflamed skin.
Aspen Bark displays gentle but effective antibacterial properties to reduce numbers of acne-causing bacteria that reside on skin's surface whilst also acting as a preservative within the powder.
Serum bottles are made of PET which are 100% recyclable. Please dispose of the dispenser in your general waste.
Directions: Dip a dampened cotton pad into the powder and press the paste directly onto the nose, T-zone or whole of the face. Leave for 5-10 minutes and wipe or rinse off.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
