Do It Yourself Pore Strips!?

I'm pretty confident in stating that everyone hates blackheads. With that said I've often researched products and methods of getting rid of them. Exfoliation is key and if your skin can handle it peels and products with retinol can help greatly. Recently I've come across numerous blogs and articles on how to make your own pore strips for blackheads, so that's just what I'll be doing! I found Knox Unflavored Gelatin easily at my grocery store in the baking aisle. The recipe I found online from Michelle Phan goes as follows:


In a microwavable container mix:
1 Tablespoon Milk

1 Tablespoon Unflavored Gelatin

Mix Together 

Microwave for 10 seconds 

Brush on problem areas using a foundation brush etc.

Let dry for about 10 minutes

Peel off! 


After trying this myself I would recommend it to someone if they are really trying to save money and use pore strips regularly. I myself, saw some results but in all honesty I feel I had better results with the commercial pore strips. I also had to exfoliate my face afterwards because there was left over residue.
Oh, and just so you know there is a major downside to this.....The horrifying smell this recipe will produce that no one seems to feel the need to mention! But If you can make it through the smell for 10 minutes it's worth it to try at least once and see what it does for your skin.

Until Next Time!

Stay Classy & admit that peeling stuff off your face is fun!
