Bioré® Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

A few weeks ago I saw an ad for these pore cleansing strips to get rid of blackheads on your nose and at first I was skeptical, but eventually I gave in and got a box to try out. These Bioré® Deep Cleansing Pore Strips were $5.99 for 8 nose strips at Target. The way these strips work if you have never used them before is you want to apply one just about every week. First you want to start out by washing your face completely and then drying it with a towel. Then, after you remove the strip from the package there are small slits that you can twist to separate prior to applying. I like to use a cotton ball for the next step because it's a bit easier, but you want to wet the cotton ball and thoroughly wet your nose. The strip won't stick on so well if your nose is dry. Making sure your hands are dry, peel the strip from the plastic and apply onto your nose with the hump part at the top of your nose and making sure to smooth down the sides and pressing down to make sure you have good contact with the skin. Once you applied the strip, leave it on for about 10-15 mins until it gets hard to the touch, feeling sort of like paper-mache and then you want to slowly and carefully (because it may hurt at first) peel off the strip starting at either one of the edges. Once you have peeled it off your nose will feel super smooth like a baby's bottom! You can actually see the blackheads on the strip which is super cool because that way you know it is working. Just by feeling your nose you can tell it is working and I have used it for the past 3 weeks and over that time I have noticed fewer and fewer blackheads. I really like this product and for the price and quality of it you can't go wrong.
