How to Make Your Own Pore Strips at Home
Blackheads and whiteheads on face malign your beauty considerably. They actually form in the skin due to dust and natural oils excreted by your skin, making your face look spotty. Acne spots are another common problem, especially in teenagers. Repeated facial treatments and chemical-filled beauty products to reduce these spots might result in further skin problems. For those who have sensitive skin, facial masks and skin care treatments can cause skin irritation and redness. Another better substitute to remove blackheads and whiteheads is to use pore strips. These thin cloth-like strips are readily available in beauty stores and effectively remove dust which your skin absorbs after a day’s outing. The usage of pore strips is very simple and it does not involve any harmful chemicals to come in contact with your skin. However, you don’t need to purchase pore strips again and again from the stores when you can prepare them at home at a far lower cost and ease. Making your own pore strips ensures what ingredients you are actually applying on your face. It won’t take much time to make pore strips of your own and you can make them whenever you want to use.

Take a spoonful of milk in the microwave-safe bowl and add a spoonful of unflavoured gelatine to it. These will be the basic ingredients of your pore strips. You don’t need to purchase more expensive flavoured gelatine for your pore strips but if you like its aroma, you can spend some extra bucks.
