Hot water and steam may help loosen the sebum inside your pores. So your strips can remove the sebum better. Just do a steam bath for your face for about 10-20 minutes or apply hot towels on your face. Your pores will open wider and it will be easier to get rid of blackheads.
5. Cut your strips for better results.
Beauty vloggers recommend cutting the edges of your pore strip so it is easier to adjust it according to the shape of your nose. In this case, you can avoid bubbles under the strip so you won’t miss any spots on your nose. You can also cut it in half and use on both sides of your cheeks.
6. Use an ice cube after applying a pore strip.
Sticky nose strips can make pores appear larger after removing the top of the blackhead. This might make your pores more sensitive to infection.
You can try to use an ice cube after using a strip. This will help you close your pores. If you are not a fan of this procedure, just rinse your face with cold water.
