Pore strips, which are similar to wax strips, are used directly on the skin on the forehead, chin, and nose, as they can remove clogged pores. They take advantage of adhesive technology to remove dirt and oil using strips that peel off a few minutes later. Although they are widely used, many people still have many questions about them. In this article, some of the most frequently asked questions about pore strips will be discussed and answered.
Do they really help to close the pores?
This will depend on the brand of pore strips you use. In some products, ingredients like bird’s nest essence are added to enhance the tightening effect, but the rest are not. Also, results vary by skin type and products, but most people will see an improvement.
Can I use them to treat acne?
Theoretically they can’t treat acne, but for people with infrequent pimples, it’s an easy way to clear it up.
Is there a difference between the pack for men and women? Can my husband use my pack of pore strips?
The materials and ingredients used by both types of strips are exactly the same. The only difference is that women’s have a smaller surface area. So if you want you can use the same package.
After using the pore strip, what product is recommended to use to protect clean skin? It is necessary?
We recommend that you use a skin care product to lock in moisture. But do not use the product with a lot of oil, because oil will easily clog clean pores if it is not small enough to be absorbed. Of course it is not necessary, but it will benefit your skin.
Are there any unwanted effects during and after applying the pore strips?
Of course they exist. For example, while taking it off, your skin will hurt. And after that, your skin can burn, itch and ache. However, the unwanted effects are different for different skin types. When problems appear, don’t worry. If you peel it off gradually and carefully, the pain will be effectively reduced. After using it, some cool lotion will relieve the burning and itching.
How often should its use be recommended?
They are not intended for daily use in skin care. And we recommend using it once a week. And don’t use it more than twice a week, or it will hurt your skin.
