OH My Gosh! This is like ripping duck tape off your face. I get all teary eyed just thinking about it. With that being said this is the ultimate pore cleanser. Skip the pore strips, use this instead! Here's my regimen1. Wash and gently exfoliate2. Put a medium layer on, face must be completely covered, no skin poking out here and there. Make sure it's thick enough to cover all skin but, not too thick as it won't dry properly3. Make sure to avoid hairline, lips, anywhere near your eyebrows, lids or the sensitive area under your eyes or you will rip out your hair.4. This has to dry completely, it will form a rubber like mask and you'll look scary5. Jump out of a closet and scare the crap out of your roommate6. Take several shots of whiskey7. RIP IT OFF! It's easy to slowly peel a corner on your forehead and try to get it all in one or two shots.It hurts like the dickens but, very satisfying after you see all the gross stuff you pulled out of your poresThe results are amazing. Pulls everything right out of your pores. You will be quite red for a little while so make sure to not do this right before a hot date. You will have little black bits left over and they will need to be scrubbed off.8. Rinse and moisturize.I recommend doing this once every other week or so. This is incredibly irritating to your skin and may even make you break out the first time. This is great to integrate into your skin care regimen.
