Strip it Off!  Pore Cleaning Strips
This recipe makes a pore cleaning "strip" which works similarly to those sold in popular drugstores.

1 T   Knox unflavored gelatin
1-1/2 T milk

Mix two ingredients and microwave for 10 seconds to slightly warm. Using a clean cosmetic brush, apply to nose and chin area. Avoid delicate eye area.  Rinse brush immediately. Allow mixture on nose and chin to dry for 10-15 minutes. Mixture will dry quite stiff and form a "stiff film."  Peel off the film and stare at all the little porcupine quills that used to be in your nose pores (one of the chief entertainment factors with B'Strips!).
 

Feedback from readers who tested this recipe:

Just wanted to share my recent success with this simple recipe for natural pore cleaning. Hope someone finds it helpful! My additions: I used the plastic spatula from my waxing kit for application as it is much easier to clean than a brush. Also this recipe makes quite a bit, even if you wanted to do your entire face. I would start with a smaller amount (perhaps teaspoons instead of tablespoons), keeping the "1 to 1.5 ratio" and then you can always make a second batch if need be. Also the warm milk smell might not be pleasant to all noses.  Happy stripping! -- Katrini @ LiveJournal

Great Advice, thank you!  -- Ed.

Just wanted to comment on your Strip it off! Pore cleansing recipe. I really like it, I just wanted to recommend adding 2-3 drops of pure tea tree oil for the added antibacterial tingle. Lovely recipe I shall be using this and your other recipes often. Thanks for posting them! -- Meagan Bagley, British Columbia

Fantastic idea; but we're curious if the product sets up as easily, with the addition of oil? -- Ed.
