Today I'm going to share another one of my tips to help achieve clear skin.....Pore Strips!!
I only started using these about 2 months ago, when I was browsing the supermarket, I was actually looking for something a little bit more deep cleansing (due to the full coverage make up I have to wear for my job).
I remember Pore Strips being around when I was in my teens, although I never tried them then, I do remember some of my friends saying they really hurt.
Well I'm a lot braver now (and my pain threshold is higher) so I thought I'd buy some of the Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips. I purchased the Combo kit which has 7 Ultra Nose Strips and 7 Face Strips.
The idea behind these Pore Strips is that you shouldn't be squeezing blackheads, as it can damage your skin or even create more problems. The Pore Strips hve a bonding ingredient that locks onto and removes deep down dirt.
How I use the strips:
1. Remove the pore strip I want to use - take it out of the individual pouch and twist the strip to separate the slits.
2. Wet the area of your face (make sure your face is clean and free from make up!).
3. Dry your hands, peel the strip off plastic liner, apply to the skin and press down to ensure good contact with the skin (it should feel like a sticker stuck to your skin).
4. Let it dry for around 10-15 minutes, the pore strip will start to feel like paper mache.
5. Slowly and carefully peel off the strip, starting out the edges and pulling towards the centre.
6. Look at all the dirt on the strip that's now not in your skin!!
As I have a pretty intense skin care routine I only use these once a fortnight, but you could use them twice a week. However it is noted not to use more than once every 3 days on the same area of the face.
You can purchase the Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips in just nose strips or face strips or the combo pack. All strip packs are available at supermarkets and department stores for under $12.00.
Are you tempted to strip?
