evily simple alternative to pore strips

[M Fox]

A cheap way to steam your pores is to do it over the washing machine as it is filling up.  Be careful not to scald yourself, and put the detergent in after you're done so you don't breathe it in.

ahaha, i have always known that EVERYONE loves popping zits (especially our boyfriend's) but its awesome to see it in writing. i actually physically fought with my man tonight because he wouldnt let me pop a little tight whitehead on his chin.

I was amazed when i learned that "extraction" was an actual procedure at salons.


i am not putting glue on my nose because i am phsychic and know it won't work for me.

Another thing that i found that works is a piece of dental floss. All you do is cut a piece and then wind the two ends around your index fingers until the middle part is tight and then you can run it down your nose or your chin . Its best to do it after a shower or after you have steamed your face but it does cause some redness for a few minutes so you'll want to try it some time before you go out.

There were also the white-out fingernails... though we got into some big trouble for those!

I loved giving myself a "french manicure" with white out!
