Depending on who you ask, pore strips are either fascinating or revolting. They're odd-looking pieces of paper you plaster across your nose, and then peel off to reveal the deep, dark contents of your pores. There can be something satisfying about the process. However, it can also be disconcerting to face the gunk residing in your t-zone.
Regardless of how you view the unclogging procedure, there's no denying that pore strips play a valuable role in cleaning the face. Dead skin cells and oil known as sebum can clog pores, leading to all kinds of problems -- including breakouts.
Blackheads are what pore strips are designed to remove. If you look closely at a strip after it has been pulled from your face, you can see dozens of tiny, dark, hair-like stalks on the underside of it. What're you're looking at are the contents of your pores. And once these blackheads have been removed, you'll notice clearer-looking skin.
As satisfying as blackhead removal with a pore strip can be, it's only a temporary fix. It won't stop your pores from collecting oil, dead skin and even dirt. Such a process is a natural, ongoing occurrence in the skin. What a pore strip can do, however, is get rid of the buildup before it leads to a breakout or becomes aesthetically unappealing.
So, as a treatment, pore strips aren't a one-time remedy. They must be used over and over again. Fortunately, they're a simple, fairly inexpensive part of a skin care regimen. However, if you're interested in reducing costs further, you can make your own pore strips.
