Have blackheads or pimples on your face? Here's an easy way to get rid of them.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Water
  • Towel
  • Biore Ultra Deep Cleansing Pore Strips
  • Face Scrub
  • Hot Water
  1. Step 1

    Scrub your face with the facial scrub.

  2. Step 2

    Wet your face where you are applying the Biore strip and put it on.

  3. Step 3

    Wait 10-15 min. Then, gently pull the strip(s) off starting at the sides.

  4. Step 4

    If it does not get all the blackheads off, this is where the hot water comes in. Steam your face over the hot water or a face steamer until you feel water gathering on your face.

  5. Step 5

    Pat dry with the towel.

  6. Step 6

    Squeeze the blackheads/pimples/etc until they are gone.

  7. Step 7

    Rinse with cold water to close the pores.

Tips & Warnings
  • Rub the area with hydrogen peroxide to prevent bacteria from getting in your pores and creating more blemishes.
  • Do not try to speed up the process by blow drying the strip!!!
  • Do not use the strip more than every three days!!!
