Tip Tuesday: Easy DIY Pore Strips

Posted by Alexandra C. | Tuesday April 23, 2013

Blackheads? More like blarrghhhheads. No one likes when these little guys come around. Thankfully, there's a simple, inexpensive DIY to help you get rid of the nasty things.

What you need:

1 Tbsp Unflavored Gelatin
1 1/2 to 2 Tbsp Milk (in a microwave-safe bowl)
Sticks to stir with and apply

Here's the how-to:

Mix the gelatin and the milk together until you get a consistency like the one above. Add more milk if needed until you have the right consistency. It will turn to gelatin quickly, so be sure to mix fast. Microwave for 10-15 seconds and immediately apply onto face. Let sit for 30 seconds and peel off to reveal a softer, less blackhead-side of your skin!

Would you try this beauty DIY?
