In a fit of feminine enthusiasm - or "feeling really girly" - my roommate E. decided that the two of us ought to follow a youtube tutorial she had found that instructed you how to make your own pore strips. You know, those little strips you place over your nose, tear off and torture yourself over because, no matter how minuscule your pores or non existent your blackheads, that devilish little strip reveals all sins, latent or not. I don't. My mum would never let me buy them because she was certain that something would go ary and I would lose all the skin on my nose. So needless to say my inner 13-year-old relished this opportunity.
As instructed by the well made up Asian youtube girl, we mixed 1 tablespoon of gelatin with 1 tablespoon of milk, microwaved for 10 seconds, and proceeded to slather all over our noses and chins, leaving it to sit for 10 minutes. Or more. We wanted to be very thorough, so we put an excessive amount on.
Side effect: it looked like someone blew their load all over each of our well cared for faces.
But, graphic porno allusions aside, it was tingly and fun and maybe even kind of effective. I saw one gaping blackhead removed, and that is good enough for me. Though beware, I was not especially diligent when applying to the area between my brows, and this thing removes hair from its follicles just about as well as it removes oil and dirt from your pores.
Don't worry though - I still look stunning.
