How to Make Your Own “Pore Strips”
Pore strips are very useful tools for blackhead removal. However, if you’re a constant sufferer of blackheads, then these adhesives can be quite costly in the long run. Fortunately, you can make your own “pore strips” quickly, easily, and most importantly cheaply!
Making your strips will require two ingredients that you can easily obtain at your local grocery store. You need 1 1/2 Tablespoons of milk and one Tablespoon of unflavored gelatin (Knox brand is the most commonly used for this recipe). Mix the milk and gelatin together and warm in the microwave for ten seconds. Using a clean wedge or cotton ball/pad, apply the mixture to the blackhead affected areas, avoiding the eyes. Keep the concoction on your face for 10-15 minutes to completely dry. When the mixture is dry and hardened, it will form a film. Gently peel off the film, and voila, you’re blackheads are gone!
