so i wouldnt be exfoliating with the salt water? more like just letting it hang out on the skin? when cold, how cold are you talking? and why cold?
i dont know why isn't anyone else experiencing this. It would make sense for the face to since you are keep oil for such a long time and just leaving it there. Especially if you do gentle rinses, it would be like a wet towel that is never washed..

your skin naturally sheds the skin, so no it would be more like a snake, lol. cold water is what i recommend becuase hot/warm water can irritate skin, loosen and move oils, and dry the skin out to a flaky state, which is prone for bacteria.

i have large nose pores, what do you guys do about the crap that gets in there? if i dont wash, crap builds up in there and there i have the pore congestion and still break out. i feel a pimple coming on and i just leave it but then it becomes this massive monster.. i've been doing this for a few months and the effectiveness has been on and off.

what can i do about the stuff that gets in the pores? and the smell of the oil left on the face is a bit nauseating, what do you guys do about it?

You are doing something wrong, your face should not be that oily and smelly, after the first couple of weeks of using COLD water the oil balances and there is no smell. Secondly, I had large pores on my nose when I use to wash my face or use hot water. Use cold/cool water to shower, and just simply splash your face morning and night bed, do not irritate your face with hot/warm water or any soaps.

yeah but stuff get into my pores/oil and when i happen to press on my nose to like blow my nose, i can see the junk coming out of the pores and im just wondering what does everyone do about those. do you guys regularly clean out the pores or just let that stuff build up in there?

I have no idea what you are talking about? Are you talking about black heads? I would recommend not touching your nose if it is giving you issues. Initially when I had large pores it looked as though I had massive black heads as well, I never knew what it was, but once the pore returned to a it's original relaxed size it was fine, and the pore was smaller with nothing inside of it. I would say to just leave it be. Use shower water to rinse the face and take it from there. If you get zits on your nose thats a different story.

washing face with water will increase skin's pH? will it break the skin's acid mantle?
