Homemade Pore Strips


You know those Biore pore strips you buy at your local high street chemist, about £8, for box of about 6 strips? Today I’m going to teach you how to make your own homemade pore strips courtesy of http://petitelefant.com/how-to-pore-strips/


Ingredients:
•    1 Tablespoon Unflavoured Gelatine
•    1 1/2- 2 Tablespoons Milk (any kind) but I used semi-skimmed which works fine.
From these 2 ingredients, your pores will look like magic.  What’s not to love?




1.    Measure 1 Tablespoon of unflavoured gelatine into a disposable container (if you put say, green jelly on your face, there might be trouble, also use a disposable container, I didn't spent a long time trying to get the glass clean).
2.    Add 1-2 Tablespoons of milk into the gelatine
3.    Until it looks like... well snort
4.    Mix it up, and be quick, until you get a chunky consistency (snort like.  Add more milk if you’re uncomfortable with the amount of chunk.
Microwave the gelatine for about 10-15 seconds.  It will get creamier in the microwave.  Stir that around and start applying it IMMEDIATELY to your nose/face and as evenly as possible.  This stuff hardens up fast so you’ve got to act fast.
Wash your face before you apply.

I chose to put the stuff all over my face because I wanted to.  You can put it wherever your desire, but you need to act fast as this stuff turns to gelatine pronto.

Let it dry for about 15+ minutes.  I waited a lot longer, got distracted by the TV, but you’ll know it’s time when you can’t talk or smile.

Grab whatever you can and start peeling.  This is the gross/fun part.

It’s a good thing you can’t see the photo all that well.  Do this until you’re all peeled and your face will feel like a baby’s bottom, and you won't be able to stop touching it.

Clean, practically hairless, with clean, dirt-free pores.
