pore strips? lol They work really well for me. Using toner on a regular basis can help unclog the pores too.

i've been using the clinique one for a while, it seems to be ok, but it's a bit harsh. it might not work for everyone.

Exfoliate and steam your face before using the pore strips, you get more gunk out that way! Alpha or beta hydroxy acids are good (e.g. yoghurt mask, scrubs with salicylic acid). Sooo satisfying seeing so many little things standing on the strip and no longer in your face (I'm weird ok).

a really good exfoliator plus i use Mary Kay clarifying mask twice a week. It has a cute purple color and after 10 min you can see oil spots on your nose that the mask absorbed. Def try that out and if it doesnt worj you can return it. But it will work.

I know how you feel about seeing all that on the strip! I'll definitely steam it before I do another one!
And I know a person that sells MaryKay, I'm sure she can help me figure out what your talking about!

They're a bit pricey for the as many (or little) as you get but Boscia has these black pore strips that I love. It's $15 for a pack of 5 :\ but they make my nose happy^.^ You can usually find them at Sephora. Boscia also has a black clay mask that I've been wating to try, it's also supposed to help with removing all the ickies out of your skin.

i agree! pore steips are the best, if your looking for something more natural you could always use the egg white trick ^.^
get an egg ans seperate the egg white,
put the egg white in a bowl and mis it until its a little bubbly, apply it to a spot on your face, then put a piece of tissue or toilet paper where the egg white is and make sure the tissue is covered with the egg white thats onn your skin. repeat all around your face to creat a mask, youll look kinda silly but its worth the wait xD
after the mask has dried and is hard kinda like paper mache, start peeling it off and you can look at the tissue to see how much it worked for u! its an alternative for the pore strips if your looking on doing it on bigger areas, or if your just short on money.
hope i helped! ❤

Pore strips are a good idea, I'd also suggest a toner :) Try a dead sea mud mask, they really clean your face up :P but some of them can be quite drying :(

Aveda's Exfoliant. Use it after you cleanse. It's not a "toner" per se, but when I use it I feel like I have a new face! I also have bad blackheads on my nose and chin. About the only thing that works for me is the Exfoliant, and *very* gentle extractions when I get out of the shower.
