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 @

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.
