Pore Strips Ingredients:
- 1 Tablespoon Unflavored Gelatin
- 1 1/2- 2 Tablespoons Milk {any kind}
- Measure 1 Tablespoon of unflavored gelatin into a disposable container {if you put say, green jell-o on your face, there might be trouble}
- Add 1-2 Tablespoons of milk into the gelatin
- Until it looks like this
- Mix it up, and be quick about it, until you get a chunky consistency. Add more milk if you’re uncomfortable with the amount of chunk.
This is pre-pore strip. Wash your face before you apply.
I chose to put the stuff all over my face because I have thirty-year-old acne. You can put it wherever your little heart desires. You need to act fast though, because this stuff turns to gelatin pronto. I know I’ve said that three times already, but I really mean it.
Smokin’.Let it dry for about 15+ minutes. I waited longer, but you’ll know it’s time when you can’t talk for fear of breaking something.
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.
Clean, practically hairless, with clean, dirt-free pores.
I wonder if you could spread this on wax paper and let it dry, and then re-moisten and apply like you do with the store strips. Then I would not feel bad if I only wanted to do my nose and not waste the rest.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure Robin. It's always worth a try.
