DIY Pore Cleansing Strip

Photo by by NickPiggott
Those pore-cleaning strips from the drug store are a rip-off at about a $1 each. Save yourself the cost and make your own at home.


To make your own pore-cleansing strip, you'll need: 
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin 
  • 1.5 tablespoons milk
Preparation
  1. Mix the milk and gelatin together in a microwave-safe bowl and zap it in the microwave for 10 seconds. 
  2. Apply the mixture over your nose, chin and/or forehead using a clean cosmetic brush. (Clean your brush right away.)
  3. Let the mixture dry for 10 to 15 minutes. A stiff film will form in the areas you applied the mixture. 
  4. Peel the film off your face.
