Goodbye Nasty Whites and Blacks! (heads hahaha)
One of the most annoying things on earth would have to be the whiteheads and the blackheads on people's faces. And most especially when they're on your nose! They could be very disgusting to look at.
I've always used Bench's Charcoal Pore Strips, but they're a bit too costly nowadays (26 pesos, last time I checked). And it's kind of cumbersome when I run out of these as I have to go to the nearest mall just to purchase them. I live in Talisay, which is around 10-15 minutes away from Bacolod, where all the malls are, so I think you get my point.
During one of my constant YouTube wanderings, I stumbled across this incredible video by Michelle Phan. The video was a tutorial about how to make your own nose strips.
And I have to say, THEY'RE INCREDIBLE!! She only uses 2 ingredients: unflavored gelatin and milk. You only have to use a little of the gelatin powder, so you could still use the ones left next time. I think you could try to use less milk and gelatin as 1 tablespoon of both could be too much already. SAYANG.
Unfortunately, the gelatin that we had here was the flavored one, so I had to go to Lopue's (ROBINSON'S DOESN'T SELL KNOX) to buy my gelatin, as well as a small carton of milk (we ran out of milk as well). Then I took an old makeup brush that I had. I followed the instructions in the video and then painted the mixture on my nose. I have to say though, the mixture smells like rotten eggs, but what the heck! Had to leave it on to dry, so I simply whipped out my Kindle and read for 15 minutes. After that, when the strip was completely dry, I peeled it off. And, VOILA!! Everything (I am not exaggerating) was out! Not even my former charcoal strips worked as well as Michelle's mixture! The painting process make it possible for everything to stick onto the "strip", even those at the sides of the nose! Amaaaazing! :D
Verdict: A MUST TRY! :)
