DIY pore strips are easy to make however you need to do it right.
Using DIY pore strips allows you to save money and they are better for your skin, the branded strips have a large number of chemicals that are bad for your skin.
What you need:
tube of liquid PVA glue (idealy clear however white is fine)
Gelatin granules
Clean scrap fabric
Plastic tub/cup
Whisk or mixing device
what do to:
1. fill your container with about 30grams of liquid PVA glue.
2. add the gelatin granules to the glue (1 sachet or 1 table spoon)
3. mix the glue and gelatin until it become thick make sure the gelatin granules dissolve
4. cut the fabric to the size you want the strip to be (Cotton polo works best)
5. apply the glue and gelatin mixture to the fabric and apply to a clean face
6. when applied to the face wait until dry (this takes about 10-20 minutes)
7. when the fabric strip is dry and hard peel it of slowly (peel from both sides in or peel upwards)
once the strip has been removed blackheads,dirt & oil should be on your DIY pore strips
if not you have wither not left it to dry fully or you have made the mixture wrong.
for even better results you can add 1 tea spoon of egg whites, this clears the skin of dead skin cells and adds collagen, you can even add a small amount of charcoal to the mix, if you do this mix the glue, gelatin & charcoal in a blender (you only need a small amount of charcoal so the mixture goes black.
the fabric is the best type of strip to use as the glue can stick to it well however you need to apply a tick amount so it doe sent just get absorbed by the fabric, the best material to use is a cotton polo as it has a texture to it meaning the glue will be secured, if you dont want to use fabric you can either use non adhesive gauze pads or thin card, paper is to thin it will just tear.
these strips should not be used daily, every 3 days is fine!
i hope this advice has helped.
