I don’t know why but talking about pores feels like an overshare – or is that just me? But for me, my nose feels like the place for buildup of gunk. Ew. I’m having a major spot breakout at the moment on my jawline but that’s probably my slacking on evening skincare. I’ve been trying to look after my skin a lot more recently and getting your head around skin care is one of them.
I’ve been trying new products over the last couple of months but these by far were the ones that intrigued me; Bioré Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips. Apparently – according to the Boots website – the strips work like a magnet, instantly locking onto and drawing out deep-down dirt & oil that can cause blackheads. Infused with natural charcoal, these innovative pore strips draw out excess oil for the deepest clean.
Firstly, I washed my face with the Garnier Pure Active Fruit Energy Daily Energising Gel Wash – one of my all time favourite washes. It smells like grapefruit, which is weird for me because I hate grapefruit but any beauty products seem to win me over. Then I wet my nose and placed the strip onto my nose and left it there for 10-15 minutes. I had the expectation that it was going to feel horrible and I would want to take it off instantly. This was not the case, in fact I nearly forgot that I had to take it off! On first reaction my nose felt super smooth and oh my goodness I could not believe how much came off with the strip.
A couple of days later and I’m definitely a fan. I couldn’t help but stoke my nose – but that kind of defeats the object and puts the dirt back in, so I had to have some stern words with myself to stop. I cannot wait to try these out again and are a great way to a quick and simple pamper session or could be an additional step to a mammoth session – we all do them now and then (don’t try and deny it).
Have you tried the Bioré Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips, or another brand? What’s your thoughts?

SO I’m like, addicted to the regular strips and I have been tossing around the idea of buying these but I wondered if they were worth it or the result would be similar. I am soooo giving these a shot. I’m obsessive about my chin and all of the pesky little clogged pores in there lol!

I really want to try a product like this because i feel my t-zone, especially my nose area gets so gunky and full of crap, it would feel satisfying if anything to get rid of all that. Great review x
