Hello again, mi cappuccinos! As I promised in my last post, today I'm going to share my personal tips on how to get rid of comedones effectively. This method was found accidentally; back when I was into DIY masks.



To cut the chase! Let's introduce you guys to.....my nose?

BEFORE

What we need:

 

Nose Porepack

Plain Yogurt

Why yogurt?

Yogurt contains lactic acid which functions to gently penetrate the pores and smoothen the stubborn comedones clogging our pores. As simple as that, lol. Sometimes comedones are hard to pull out from the pores because they're still hard and somewhat inseparable with the place they're clogged in (follicle). So lactic acid helps the follicle to loosen up a little, which gives the chance of the comedones to go bye-bye in a wiggle! 
 

 

What to do:

1. Apply yogurt thinly on your nose, or if you feel like it, you can also use it as your facial mask! It's like killing two birds with one stone teehee.

2. Wait until you feel tight around your nose or applied area then wash your face with lukewarm water.
Why lukewarm water? Because cold water will only close and tighten your pores; which beats the purpose to keep them open!

3. When the nose is still wet, quickly slap on the porepack onto your nose. Do it in one try!

4. Wait for 15-30 minutes. But it depends on the temperature and climate, really. I always turn on my aircon whenever I'm using this method to make it dry faster. Make sure the air is not humid else your skin will produce sweat which, again, make all the effort useless!

5. Peel it! Start from the left and right wing, pull it towards the middle of your nose~ 

Warning! Gross picture ahoy!

And this what the yogurt and porepack combo + cheesecake gave me:

Alright, that's it for now! Hope you all can have the satisfactory result~ See you on the next post!
