After you you remove the pore strip, use a skin care routine of salicylic acid to prevent sebaceous filaments and blackheads from forming again. Also, a pore minimizing treatment and always moisturize! The salicylic acid will prevent the sebaceous filaments from coming back / blackheads and the pore minimizing treatment will shrink the pores to prevent any dead skin cell / bacteria from filling the pores again.

I've heard from more than one dermatologists that shrinking your pores is not possible

[@nicoleroberts9612]

@@beyza4351​​⁠I’ve heard this too but I think when the term ‘shrinking pores’ is used, it’s more about looking bigger or smaller. When a pore is filled with dead skin cells, bacteria, and whatnot, it appears bigger than it would if it were empty/less full. Like a plastic bag. If you’re used to seeing it filled with water, it’ll look like it shrunk when it’s empty. But that’s just my $0.02

[@chris135x]

Or just use cold water with soap. The pores need to be closed and cold water helps with that.

[@RobertTownsley]

Also, the effect might be temporary but it allows salicylic acid and other anti acne products to penetrate deeper into the pore afterward, making them more effective.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

I've been using pore strips since before pore strips were invented. Back about 45 years ago my brother pranked me and I ended up accidentally sticking a piece of fly paper to my face. It took some time to pry it loose from my fact but as I did this huge dark limp pulled out of my skin with it. I thought I had injured myself and I had a hole where that lump used to be. My parents took me to the doctor after that thinking the same thing and it turned out that the fly paper had secured itself to an old dried out cyst. It was about six mm across and almost black and I never even noticed it on my cheek. But what came out of my nose shocked me. Hundreds or perhaps thousands of little black and white (some black and some white) filaments (I didn't know at the time what they were called) I think that was maybe late 1970's. I was in my late teens at the time and still in high school. I have no idea when pore strips first hit the market but I think I saw them first about 20 years ago and thought to my self that someone stole my fly paper idea. Because I used fly paper for this about six times a year for over 20 years.

A good occasional routine: Cloth with warm water on the face for 5 min -> pore strip -> clean up with cold water and a mild cleanser -> (for very problematic skins: grain less exfoliant) -> egg white mask under rice paper -> rince with cold water -> salicylic acid serum or cream -> heavy duty moisturizer -> sleep. Once a month. Don’t pick at your skin in the process you might cause inflammation. If I break it down it goes: Open the pores -> remove part of the gunk -> remove the rest of the gunk -> shrink the pores back -> prevent new gunk from forming -> repair any damage done to the skin

[@ankida]

I’ve seen friends over the years complain it doesn’t work after using gentle cleanser or just water, or astringent lol. Of course it won’t do anything with an oily nose and a lot of drug store brands aren’t great. Lanbena has been my favorite by far. - Pore strips work way better if you use something to get as much oil off the area as possible. - I oil cleanse first to loosen up what I can, then use a wash that’ll strip the oil, use the strip, and then just moisturize after.

Oil cleanse sounds like a good idea. I keep on hand jojoba, argan, and tea tree oils, mixing them with fresh aloe vera as a hair gel and on the dry spots and exema I get in places. I smeared my nose with it with a little salicylic acid, a couple of weeks ago and left it there a couple of hours, then cleaned it with ordinary Dr Bronner's soap. I didn't expect it to do anything, but it helped. I know that many cultural traditions teach oil cleansing for healthy skin, so why don't I try it. I have to minimize my use of salicylic acid, though. I had bloody red spots on my nose for a week after that treatment. I may have to track down some of that Lanbena. How's the fragrance? Some of the products I've started to use smell so strongly that I couldn't apply it. I'm the proverbial canary in the coal mine for synthetic ingredients, and sensitive or allergic to quite a few natural fragrances. It's so much fun exploring hygiene and skin care products.

Yeah but no one wants to listen to people that know what they're telling about. Pore strips do more harm than good. Granted people want to have a "quick😅 fix" even if they are normal and are naturally occurring skin structures that help move oil through pores and keep your skin and hair healthy. They are a normal part of the skin's pore structure, but they can become more noticeable in people with oily skin or large pores. But no one wants to hear that.

The secret is - it works well if the blackheads are old and hard. If you wash your nose and squeese the blackheads often, the blackheads are constantly "fresh", oily and soft. If you leave them alone for a while, they get harder and way easier to extract. They attach to the porestrip better. Soft and oily stuff doesn't attach at all.

[@littleboots9800]

​@@memoonasiddiqui8291pores don't open and close though you can make them look less obvious. After the pore strips you use a salicylic acid product or another chemical exfoliant so it can get into the empty pores and stop them filling up again. You can use a toner, serum or cleanser with salicylic acid but if its in the cleanser leave it on your face for a few minutes before rinsing off. If you do this you should only need to use pore strips once a month or so and maybe stop altogether if you are consistent with your salicylic acid routine.

They didn't make anything like this when I was a teen and my nose was like a Play-Doh Fun Factory. During my 30s the Dove company came out with a strip, I tried it and it didn't work, pulled out maybe 2 or 3 plugs, I could do way better with my fingers. During my 40s my skin dried up, now in my 60s there is nothing on my nose at all, pores are all tiny and invisible like they're supposed to be. My ears dried up too. They literally make no wax at all now, and sometimes me ear canals get real itchy, the itch will feel like it goes all the way into to my throat. The ear itch will wake me from sleep, I even had the itch come thru into my dream, lol. I have to put a dab of cortisone ointment in them or the itch will drive me insane.

If you're implying that hygiene has absolutely no part in acne, I can tell you that when I let my skin get dirty my moderate acne always got worse. Of course we know that the root cause of severe acne is due to hormones, not from poor hygiene, and expecting average active people to wash their faces multiple times per day every single day just isn't practical. The extra washing might help but it won't make the acne go away.

That or because they were set too deep. I believe pore strips only work for those who have really bad ipen comedines, to the point where the sebaceous fillament sticks out enough to be picked up by the strip.

[@saibisureddo5657]

No one said from a cosmetic perspective that they don't work. The problem comes with the MEDICAL perspective. Those aren't white heads you are getting rid of. THEY CAN DAMAGE YOUR SKIN. Even worse they leave your nose open to SERIOUS potentially FATAL infections. That area is called the traiangle of death for a reason. Those are NOT whiteheads coming out. A couple might be. But the rest is your SEBUM. The stuff your nose NEEDS to protect the nose which has areas that lead directly to the brain from serious infection. Thats the entire point of sebum. and you are ripping them out for the sake of comsemetics. Do not reset any narrative. DO NOT USE PORE STRIPS. PERIOD. Exfoliate. Do not go further. When he says sebacious filaments. He means SEBUM. Thats not a white head. AGAIN. NOT A WHITE HEAD. Sebum is an ESSENTIAL product of your immune system. Just like ear wax is for your ear. Just like ear wax its okay to remove excess ear wax thats coming out of your ear but you shouldn't put the q-tips all the way in. This pore strip is that Q tip on steroids. People have gained flesh eating bacteria from using these folks. They have lost noses, they have incurred BRAIN INFECTIONS. ' DO. NOT. USE. All you need to be doing is exfoliating and you wont be seeing the top layers yes you might need to be exfoliating regularly to keep the dry heads of the sebum off. WHILE LEAVING THE EFFING LIFE SAVING SEBUM IN. Also getting rid of those hairs is just as dangerous. They are there to catch pathogens as well. Thats why this crap stopped getting to kids and teens for a long time. It was putting them in the effing hospital.. Sigh.

[@marcelabrenes8771]

Thats VERY exaggerated. Sebaceous filaments are NOT deep enough to let microorganisms into the venous system when being removed.

[@saibisureddo5657]

@@marcelabrenes8771 Its not exaggerated in the slightest. You can get extremely bad infections. The sebum is there for a very good reason. It isn't there to be constantly removed. I have had 2 family members develop serious infections doing this crap. The pore strips can and do remove your sebaceous filaments which permits bacteria's to enter where they absolutely should not be. It leads to acne at best. Serious infections at worst. Just exfoliate keep the surfaces clean and you won't have a problem.

[@littleboots9800]

The level of exaggeration here is crazy. There are many dermatologists who say these are fine to use and use them themselves. Popping and squeezing spots is FAR more dangerous in that zone than using a pore strip and even then the number of ppl it happens to is tiny! Sebum being removed isn't going to allow infection into the bloodstream. Picking at a spot can though with nails, needles etc because the sin is being broken. Picking your nose can kill you too but we don't get PSA announcements about not picking your nose. A little perspective is important.

[@AnonP2X3YZ]

### Analysis: The commentary claims that using pore strips can remove sebum, which is an essential part of the skin's immune defense, potentially leading to serious infections, including flesh-eating bacteria and brain infections. **Fact-Check:** 1. **Sebum and Sebaceous Filaments:** - Sebum is a natural oil produced by sebaceous glands and plays a role in protecting and lubricating the skin. - Sebaceous filaments are structures that help channel sebum through the pores. Removing some sebum and filaments is generally not harmful, but overuse can irritate the skin. 2. **Infection Risks:** - The "triangle of death" refers to the area from the corners of the mouth to the bridge of the nose, where infections can potentially spread to the brain due to blood vessel connections. - While pore strips themselves are unlikely to cause such severe infections, improper use (e.g., on broken skin) or failure to maintain proper hygiene could theoretically increase infection risk. 3. **Medical Perspective:** - There are rare reports of severe infections from improper skincare practices, but these are not common. The vast majority of people using pore strips do not experience severe adverse effects. **Conclusion:** The claims in the commentary are highly exaggerated. While there is some basis in cautioning against overuse and improper use of pore strips, the extreme outcomes mentioned are not typical. It is advisable to use pore strips as directed and consult with a dermatologist if you have concerns.

[@KarolinaCruz-Gutierrez]

The whole thing behind pore strips being bad isn’t because we think they don’t work cause in some cases they get some junk out but it’s the fact that it’s harsh on your skin and rips off a layer off skin which causes your skin to produce more oil causing more clogged pores then leading you to use another pore strip why repeats the same cycle over and causes a damaged skin barrier

[@shami9773]

They do work… but they also don’t stop them from coming back, in fact, they make it even easier for them to come back because they strip every bit of oil from your skin, and since your skin is dry, your body produces much more oil, which will fill the pours, causing more blackheads.

@ld3354 I'm speaking from experience. It's possible and happened. Other peers expressed the same disappointment, and dermatologist confirmed. It's similar to scar tissue and the strips caused it. Once done, you cannot repair the damage done.

Am i the only one who finds this REALY GROSS?😅

[@TruckerReviewed]

Okay, so your body will over produce oil to replace what's been removed, right? So what's the move? Do you use ice and could water to close pores and add a light face moisturizer to prevent the body from producing too much oil?

[@Siriuslyyy]

Just use moisturizer. Iff your skin is moisturized, it won't produce excess oil

[@jrebecca0195]

Do you recommend any particular brands of pore strips?

[@MadAboutSkin]

lanbena is my favourite x

[@jrebecca0195]

​@@MadAboutSkinI'll have to see if it's available in the USA, thanks!

[@DeannaStOmer]

Start with a paste of baking soda and water and cleanse the skin with it first and then pat dry and put the pore strip on as usual.

thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts.. x

[@shaunaburton7136]

I definitely think it depends on the brand. I used one that didn't pull one black head and left gunk on my skin.

[@MadAboutSkin]

I totally agree with you hun there are good and bad with both types for sure.. love x

[@Noneya2023]

Pore strips can cause more damage than good. If used too frequently, your pores will stay open & become more noticeable. I have a friend who overused these strips & the pores on her nose were visibly bigger. Oily skin, like mine, needs a gentle balance of clean & moisturized. In the end, when trying to remove heavy oils, you’re just drying out your skin, causing it to produce more oil. Vicious cycle.

[@CenturyHomeProject]

Happy New Year to you all!!

Happy New Year hun and wishing you the best for 2024..

[@dogekingchris2190]

the fact that you didnt show them fully pull off the strip is criminal.

What no way

[@OkamiWasTaken]

I just use Apricot Scrub face wash everytime I shower or feel like my face needs cleaned. Particularly after sweating or swimming. Always try to avoid touching your face with dirty hands! The area around the nose is especially sensitive to oils and sweat! And my skin is very clear and I only ever get blackheads when I touch my face or rub my face

@MadAboutSkin it’s definitely not that brand. because I bought it hoping this was it but it wasn’t it’s was clear and thin and didn’t get any black heads or even peach fuzz hair lol

Dude, you should seriously wash your face more

[@jfm14]

1) I don't think that's him. 2) Washing your face obviously doesn't hurt, but that alone isn't going to get rid of blackheads.

[@JigglyPuff777]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with using them now and then! Rob is RIGHT they are GREAT for "helping" to remove the stuff that skincare can't!

[@ankhels]

HOW THE F IS THE FACE ORIENTED?!? Wtf is going on in this video I cannot for the life of me figure out where the f on the nose this video started at 🤦🏻‍♀️there were no nostrils at the beginning (or anywhere) so wtf is happening

[@dominiquerene2510]

Flip your phone 😅 you’ll see it’s the nose but being filmed upside down.

[@s13rr4buf3]

The first couple of times you use this kind of product, you are going to decimate the micro hairs that grow on your nose. Why would you want those intact? How about to hang on to face powder so your nose doesn't look shiny?

I have tried so very many of these over the last like 20 years since they got popular back when Biore was the big thing. Ans I haven't found 1, not a single one that actually does this. Or even close to this. They just leave my skin feeling filmy, parched and stiff. Like I rubbed Elmer's glue all over my face. Does anyone know what product this actually is? The actual name of the particular product being used in this video? Please 🙏 and Thank you 🙏 It would be very much appreciated 👍 🙏 😊 ❤️

[@DerekDaly92]

Best thing is to shower, soak in a tub after, leave a hot clean face cloth on your face, get out and dry your face really good, apply the nose strip correctly, and when you peel it off so it slowly, at the correct angle and you will have results, works better if you soften your skin for awhile, maybe scrape your nose with a razor before.

@@Jaeloves453 I completely read and understood the comment. But darker skin can get these skin maladies and should have them treated. Like white people can get ashy skin but it's not as visible...doesn't mean they shouldn't hydrate their skin.
